Some food for thought this holiday season.

It's a little mind numbing to think about this event which took place in the midst of the trenches during one of the most bloody confrontation between two "Western" type powers.

One certainly could not imagine this taking place with the animals confronting our brave troops in the Middle East.

I felt it was something to remeber though. In the midst of all the battle, two enemies reached into their hearts and found a moment to reach out to one another in a moment of peace.

30 million perished during that war.

God bless you and keep you and yours this Christmas.

Please pray for all ours and our allies brave troops and their families this Christmas.

It is reported, that on Christmas Day in 1915 German and British soldiers played soccer together on the battlefield - not with the official rules (there were ca. 50 men on each side) and shook hands, until an English officer interfered and shouted they should fire on them and not playing with the enemy.

It´s understanding, that these stories were not be seen in the press - how could have the Kaiser, President or King explained that to their nations?

I don't know if this is true, but a WW1 veteran told me before he died that while in the trenches one Christmas eve the soldiers (both sides) saw angels over the battle field.
