Well another Christmas time has come and passed – and even another year.
This month Tesco Productions was invited once again to provide sound for the annual Christmas In Our Hearts program presented in downtown Omaha at the Double Tree Hotel. A number of musicians gathered to share songs, memories and joy for over 300 attendees from nursing homes and assisted living facilities hosted by Community 360 (formerly Desert Ministries), and the Christmas Story was splendidly recited by an elderly gentlemen in addition. My good friend Allyn volunteered his PA system and trailer, and took a couple of days vacation to setup and be part of the crew bringing this program to some folks who probably had no other Christmas.
Before the celebration began I greeted a number of people waiting and met one lady in particular that has stuck in my mind. She said she was 95 years old and had the greatest smile. When I asked her what the secret was to being 95 and having such a smile, she said “Just live each day to the fullest!”. What I could learn from such advice. Maybe when I look back on 2013 I’ll see just a glimpse of remembering this wise counsel.
