When the caroles left the Mercy Care Center singing "We Wish You
a Merry Christmas" they continued to sing as they went down the
street and caroled in front of the Maple Hill Rest Home, about 3 doors
to the West of the Mercy Care Center.
The interesting
thing was that they were invited in and after a few songs and just before
they were ready to leave, a man got up and shut off the football game
on tv so they dould hear the carolers!
These men also had
eyes that spoke of hard lives and very little kindness and gentleness
given to them. But you could see the smile and the faces that seems
to remember better days when they went out singing as they were being
sung to that day.
