On Sunday at our Journey of Hope Cancer Support outreach in Iowa Methodist, a woman came up to me to ask if the kids knew the song "Away in a Manager". She asked, just as they started playing it.  She said it was her Mom's favorite Christmas song.  Her Mom was so sick she couldn't come out to hear the music and asked if they would come to the hall to play it so she could hear it.  So Kelly took all the kids to the hallway, but the family asked them to come into the room.

This was the same room I went to and the husband had told me all about his wife, that she was going to hospice tomorrow, and then just asked if I'd hug him and he cried in my arms.

Her daughter sat on her bed and held her mom. Her mom opened her eyes and smiled.  They played two carols.  Mike and I held their music books, and just wept.  It was such an amazing thing.

Such a blessing to watch how Jesus can use a fleece blanket to reach people who are suffering.  The Gospel was promoted.
