The Perfect Picture of Love In Action on Christmas Eve, A Tzaddik’s View of Christ’s Kingdom on Earth – by Gary S. Smolker

December 25, 2015

On Christmas eve, last night (December 24, 2015), I saw a picture of Christ’s Kingdom on Earth:

I saw a young exhausted man (Aki Nicholas Gibson) sleeping on a couch with his head in his wife’s (Holly R. Gibson’s) lap.

Holly was stoking Aki’s head, while Aki was sleeping.

I saw that scene in the living room of my friend Richard C. Gibson’s house, about an hour after we finished having Christmas dinner.

Attending this Christmas Dinner were Aki, Richard, me and nine important women in Aki’s life.

To me that was the perfect picture of love in action.

Aki is the Vice President of Enterprise Architecture at The Karais Group in Austin Texas.

The Karais Group is a professional services firm specializing in patient advocacy, health care navigation (comparison shopping for patients, i.e., finding different prices hospitals etc. charge for the same procedures and exact services) and medical bill mediation.

The Karais Group helps patients navigate medical care in a knowledgeable professional manner to reduce their health care costs and medical bills.

Aki’s wife Holly is the Director of “Woman Who Code, Austin.”

“Women Who Code, Austin” teaches women computer programming then helps them get jobs as programmers.

Aki and Holly came from Austin, Texas to be at this Christmas Eve Dinner which took place in Woodland Hills, California; Aki’s aunt Vernon flew in from New York to be at the dinner.

Below is a photograph of Aki surrounded by family and friends, sitting on a couch, before we all move to the dinning room to enjoy a Christmas Eve Dinner together.
