Take a young woman, Cecile, from the Canadian prairies and put her in Botswana, Africa as a medical missionary. Take a young doctor, Colin, who remains at home in the prairies, but who can never forget Cecile and that kiss they shared the Christmas before. Nor can Colin forget that when he asked Cecile to marry him she’d said no because she felt called to go to Africa.Bring Christmas round again, as on opposite sides of the world Cecile and Colin think of each other as they both care for the medical needs of others. Can God bring about a Christmas miracle and reunite these serving hearts?Ruth L. Snyder has written a lovely short Christmas story that inspires us with the true meaning of Christmas—the serving of others—and the romance of Christmas when we look to God for miracles.
