A sign of hope

"May I call you?" I read on the display of my mobile phone. "Of course!" is my quick reply and the phone rings. "I definitely wanted to speak to you personally, because when I received the little parcel with the wonderful star yesterday, I was in tears! I was so moved and simply couldn't put my feelings into words. It has given me so much hope in these difficult times, because you know, I come from the Gaza Strip and have been living and working here in Germany for several years, but my whole family lives in the Gaza Strip - now in tents they built themselves..." I listen, deeply moved, and feel what this little attention has meant to this Muslim woman from Palestine. I didn't know her personally, but it all started when her friend brought her the light of Bethlehem... God writes HIS very personal story of peace in all darkness!
