The Little Drummer Boy

We had dinner with some friends the other night. We met these new friends at a small home bible study group. What is so amazing is that the wife, Nora, used to live (literally) right across the freeway from us and attend our church. Needless to say, we had never met her before we came to Australia. Anyway, before we went to their house for dinner, Susan previously had given Nora a copy of the Oasis 2 Christmas CD, which has on it the song, "The Little Drummer Boy." The song was played on the album by Cesar Gervasi and his band and was sang in English and in Spanish. As we were talking, Nora, who is Hispanic, told us that the song had so moved her when it was sang in Spanish, for it was her mother's favorite song, and her mother (who spoke Spanish) passed away earlier this year. What's truly amazing about this story is that we only got those CDs just minutes before we left for LAX. In fact, David and Grace Chu went out of their way to pick them up from our church and bring them to us at our home, for we did not have the time. Truly, God, in His goodness, saw to it that Nora had a beautiful memory of her mother at Christmas time.
