A beautifully written story with a message of hope and possibility, and of new beginnings. For Liam, a true miracle. I am pleased the churchgoers were warm and accepting and not judgemental. Very moving.

This is a lovely story to add to your book of Christmas Miracles. Liam's sharing what little he had with Ezekial was all part of his generous nature. That he was visited by an angel was not surprising at all.

This is a wonderfully written story about the Christmas season and I very much enjoyed listening to it. It flows very well when it is read aloud and the story itself is very compelling and you have a wonderful day. May you also have a wonderful Christmas and may God bless you. Happy new year. Patricia.

I really am running out of tears, Carol! The goosebumps on my arms and head are becoming a familiar feeling. We never know who we are talking to when we are in need, but someone always comes to share a bit of friendship and love. So many lonely homeless people in the world today, it is so sad, and many of those will die out there in the cold. This was another lovely story, my friend, another one for the book. Well done!! Love and hugs, Sandra xxx

Damn you woman,
What have I told you about doing this to me?
Look, see my stories, they are full of blood and horror and broken hearts.
Argh
How am supposed to deal with soppy sentimentalism you keep thrusting before me!
This was a truly moving story showing God's love, how sad that there are so few actual churches that embrace the welcome and spirit of St Grace.
Thank you for sharing it, Carol,

This is such a beautiful Christmas story. It made my heart feel wonderful. I worked with homeless people in NYC. I believe I did help them find hope. There is no room for improvement. Have a blessed day and Christmas season.

Amen!! Miracles do happen for everybody. This Christmas story is one that shows true Christain love. It's a beautiful reminder of what those of us who proclaim to be Christians should act.

IT'S a spellbinding story told with authenticity while painting a realistic picture of what it can feel like to be 'out in the cold' from society as a whole, especially during the season of goodwill. Miracles do indeed happen and unfold quietly.

I wish you had a way to put this story in the Christmas Story contest. It deserves to be in there. I've always loved writing my road ghost stories where spirits are there to help when no one else is around. We probably have a book to put together. Madges Cafe was my favorite, and when I wrote about her, she would come alive. This is a wonderfully written story. Best of luck with your writing! Have a great day, and God bless.
