"We Have Nowhere for Christmas," the Little Girl Said — He Hadn't Lit His Hearth in Three Years

"Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy." Wyoming, Christmas week. A stagecoach sticks in the drifts, and a young widow with two children has only one place left to walk to — a lonely ranch where the fireplace has stood cold for three winters. Everett Shaw does not talk, does not pray, and does not want guests. But six-year-old Birdie has a verse she learned by heart, nine-year-old Henry is trying hard to be the man of the family, and an old shepherd dog named Patch has already decided whose side he is on. Then Christmas Eve brings the worst blizzard of the winter — and a boy goes missing by the creek. A clean Christian frontier story of grief, faith and a second chance at Christmas, carried by one verse: "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." (Luke 2:10) If this story touched your heart, write "Luke 2:10" or "Amen" in the comments and subscribe for a new frontier story of faith. #christianstories #christmasstory #frontierstory Chapters: 0:00 Snowbound at the Foot of the Hills 1:35 The Cold House 4:03 The Road Will Take a Week 5:59 Days by the Creek 7:52 The Parlor Door 9:53 Christmas Eve Storm 12:00 The Rope Runs Out 14:16 Fear Not 16:35 Christmas Morning 19:38 The Road Opens
