Yesterday I was watching BYU TV and they had a program called Music and the Spoken Word. This is a long run TV/Radio program that's been produced since 1929 by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Last nights program was a a rebroadcast of called "One Silent Night" hosted by Walter Cronkite. The program was amazingly well done and very moving to watch. The subject was based on the Christmas Truce of 1914.
I would highly encourage everyone to look into the history of this event.

Even in times of war God's solace presence in so evident here. Enemies laid down their arms, climbed out of the trenches, and took time to greet and share the Christmas spirit. Gifts were given, games were played, traditional music of warring nations sung.
I've read the accounts of this truce on several websites giving different accounts and everyone seem to show the same miracle happening that Christmas day. So take a moment and understand that even in our darkest times God is there.
