It was a bitter night, though very clear. Under the sparkling stars a wild north wind drove cold into the veins, into the cracks and crannies of the tightest dwelling, and the tree limbs sighed and creaked.

Oh! When I start reading it, I couldnt stop, it is too good! I cant wait to see the other stories. What a story of hope! It shows you once again, never judge a book by its cover! You never know who it is in disguise!

I read this to my 11 year old daughter. This was an awsome story. It renews my mission statement of " being glad I did instead of I wish I would have." There is no greater Joy than to help the least of these. Two scriptures came to mind as i read this. Ye, I stand at the door and knock if anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come in. When I was hungry you fed me when I was thirsty you gave me drink and when I was naked you clothed me. When you did it for the least of these you did it for me. I challenge everyone who reads this to make this as a new years commitment. It really is a life changing experiance to help others and expect nothing in return.
