The Christmas Miracle

The most beautiful day of the year had finally arrived.

All the houses in the town looked spruced up… Every heart was joyful & glad. The morning held an aura of wonder.

The streets were flooded with cars. People were rushing to the malls to finish their last minute shopping.

In the midst of all the festivity and celebration, Tracy noticed a sad face. A small girl sat in a corner, with big tearful eyes. She seemed alone and vulnerable, amongst all the hustle and bustle.

Tracy couldn’t stop herself. She went up to where the little girl sat, and asked her, “What is wrong dear? It’s Christmas! Why do you look so sad?"

The girl did not reply. She turned away, but Tracy saw tears trickling down her cheeks. She moved closer, took hold of her hand and sat next to her on the seat.

"Are you alone?" she asked. The girl turned and Tracy saw grief and sorrow in her eyes. She said, “Yes, I’m alone and abandoned."

 "Where are your parents?" Tracy asked.

"They died in an accident few days back and the landlord seized everything we had and sent me away," the girl sobbed.

Tracy hugged her tight.

She had always longed for a baby girl, but her medical condition wouldn’t allow her to have another child. And right now, as she hugged this little girl, she felt like, the Creator of her heart had chosen to fulfill her deepest desire!

God had given her the miracle she had always hoped for! No other explanation existed, except that in His everlasting mercy, God had stepped into Tracy’s world and handed her a Christmas miracle. The kind she had always believed in. The thought overwhelmed her; that God would choose to give her such an amazing gift this Christmas.

Overcome by a feeling of sheer blessedness, she told the little girl, "You know what; me and my husband, we have a little boy. We’ve always longed to have a little girl too, but the doctors told us it would be difficult for us to have another child. But we never realized God had greater plans. You are the daughter we’ve always longed for. Come home with us, because you will complete our family." She smiled with tears in her eyes.

The little girl was overjoyed. She knew God had plans for her in this.

They walked home, and as they reached the gate, they could see Tracy’s husband and son, waiting at the door. She held the little girl’s hand tight and said,” Look who’s here, this is Kate, and she will be a part of our family, now and forever.”

The four of them celebrated Christmas with joy and ardor, and you could see the glow of wonder and delight on everybody’s face.

Tracy couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened, and more than that, how the timing was so utterly fitting. Everything had come together on the most beautiful day of the year, the day when miracles truly did happen all around them.

They were a complete family now. God had fulfilled all of their desires. This was going to be an unforgettable Christmas Day.

Christmas fulfills your dearest dreams and deepest desires.
