The littest angel,had a dream of many fine things beneath a Christmas
tree.Of figs and lollipops and tangerine treats.Pumpkin pies and many
other good things to eat.But she knew this cold year it was not meant to
be.For the hard times had hit,her family had found themselves homeless
on the streets.So she lowered her sights a little,and wished for just
one thing.That the dark clouds above on this Christmas eve would unleash
snow rather than chilling rain.They were huddled in an alley,of a city
hard and cold.Father,Mother,Brother and big Sis and this sweet child
just six years old.How they had come to be here this night was a story
long and sad.Seemed misfortune had conspired to take away every material
thing they had.But this little girl bravely tried to hold onto hope.That
salvation would soon come perhaps from some good hearted folk.So she
closed her eyes and muttered a prayer,to Mother Mary divine to please
send them an angel.Someone warm and kind.Just then a snowflake,white and
pure and light,landed gently upon her nose,and gazed up into the
forboding night.A small hole broke into the clouds as if on cue.And in
this single spot of blue.A star shone brilliantly and true.As she looked
up somewhat mesmerized at this one clear patch of sky.A few tears began
to form at the corner of her eyes.For she knew it had to be a
sign,straight from God above.That despite their despair,they were still
loved.Then a sound drifted softly in,as if from far away.A song even
this young child,remembered from happier days.Twas a carol sung sweet
and clear.Celestial music wafting in,to this poor family's frosty
ears.Soon around the corner a group of carolers slowly strode,decked out
in costumes,as if from days of olde.Hark!The Herald's Angels sing.Glory
to the newborn King!These timeless lyrics warmed their ears with such a
lovely ring.And then,when the song was through their leader a small lady
old and gray.Stepped up hesitantly,for she had something to say.I see
you folks are in need.Perhaps you need a place to stay.So please come
with us for our little church is right down the way.It's warm and it's
bright.There's plenty of food too.We were just now on our way back.When
for some reason I don't understand,I felt the urge to make this
detour.Gratefully the family accepted,and the congregation took them
in,even ran out and brought some last minute presents.For their new
found friends.Fixed them a supper,better than they could of
dreamed,turkey and gravy dressing topped off with blueberry ice
cream.Early that Christmas Day,she knew in her young heart that she
would now forever understand the meaning of His mysterious ways.And the
little blonde haired angel.As she laid down in a warm bed. The End!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone at Just Say

If only you knew Cybear what gifts are given at christmas time. The
littlest of stories become the novels of the world.

Thank you for your story, G

There is no shame in tears, I have shed many a tear these last few weeks
and tonight was no exception. Many pains and joys fill the air in JSH,
one day may we all find the happiness we seek.

Thank You!okieangel,toyotagirl & iam4u for the feedback.Them are exactly
the reasons which inspired me to write this story.Sadly I believe it is
part of our human nature that allows us to lose sight of these simple
facts that exist.Within a blink of an eye these dire circumstances could
befall any one of us.May God continue to bless us all and give us the
wisdom to fully understand these matters.Never allow your love to
tarnish or lose compassion for your fellowman,for one day this could
happen to any one of us.May God continue to bless us
all.Amen!Godspeed,Cybear.
