18 Hours left to figure out how we can get a Christmas 🌲 tree up outside the Children’s Hospital. Batman, Wonder woman and the three wisemen have come to help. One of the Camels has been dragging the tree behind him, his o2 tank has already run out and his lips are a bit blue. He has no intention of letting the baby Jesus down. There’s some politics this year so it has to be put up farther away from the hospital. As we all looked up not a window was without a little child’s face looking out at the stars and the tree below. Wonder woman flew up and waved at all the little kids on the Cancer floor. She was in a uniform different than her traditional one. A set of Nurses Scrubs giving a nod to the fact this is the year of the Nurse and no one had given them even the smallest acknowledgement. One of the respitory therapists came out to give the camel a new o2 tank! He was grateful. Batman flew to the second floor and started to pull the tree up so that it was standing perfectly in front of the children’s faces. Not a dry eye. It’s been a tough year. On the top of the tree a star that shines without batteries or electricity. It is powered by the greatest super power of all the baby Jesus himself. Batman put on a show for the kids swinging from the floor. They loved it. The wise men stood in awe. The oldest said…how things have changed…yet the message is still the same. At the very heart of Christmas lies a selfless heart. A baby born, and joy to the world, especially children. Even during a year like this…it only takes a little kindness to make someone feel thought of.
