When I hear this story, I always have to think back to WWI when the soldiers put down their arms and praised God in the Highest with the birth of Jesus Christ. They knew what this night meant and were willing to trust in one another for peace... if even just for the night... First the Germans singing this song, then it was recipicated by the British with The First Noel.... they vollied back and forth, sharing their love of Christ, love of man and not enemy until there commanders back at headquarters made them stop. WHo knows, if the soldiers were allowed to continue with the spirit that filled them, WWI could have come to an end that night.... This is the strength that this and so many other Christmas songs have on our lives and why they continue to be with us each and every holiday season. Peace be with you and your family Rus. Such a beautiful memory Rus– always remember that Angels are Among us….. they are real and can do amzing things to our spirits…. they are not to be feared… and what could be a more perfect time for your Dad and angel to come back to guide your mom through her grieving than at Christmas and with Silent Night?
