....the 100th anniversary of a amazing events that took place amid the carnage of WW1. So it seems only right to repeat this in the run up to that anniversary -
At Christmas, during the First World War, British and German troops stopped shooting. They went over to each other's trenches and exchanged seasonal gifts. Some even sang carols and played football. The next day, they got back into their positions and continued with the carnage. Stories like this often leave us wondering whether to laugh or cry.
Through our choices and our actions, we can take what is bad and make it good.
Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all. (William Faulkner)
