Mini Miracle at Christmas: Let There Be Light

 Outside decorations at our house are on my husband's "to do" list.

We have opted for white lights for many years. 

He does a great job stringing them on two front porch posts, a couple of bushes and so forth. 

This year he added a white spiral tree that used to be on the side porch.

Lo and behold, when he set the tree up and finally plugged it in, a section of lights toward the top were dark. 

I begged and pleaded with him to add more lights because, to me,  the darkened section was very  noticeable but he didn't buy it.  

Too much trouble. Some of the lights were dead but the rest that worked were good enough, he said.

Well, I wasn't going to whine about such a silly thing, especially at Christmas time.

Plus, he did a great job with the rest of the lights in the yard, so be it.

Last night he came into the kitchen with a great big smile. 

"A mini-miracle," he said.  I was dying to find out what it was.

Well, he had looked outside the front window and somehow, some way, the darkened section of the tree lit up on its own. 

Was it the Christmas elves?

I ran to the window, looked out and felt so happy over our first Christmas mini-miracle.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY MINI-MIRACLES IN YOUR LIFE LATELY?
