Short book. Simple. OK. Maybe for kids. Didn't quite get.
But gave me an idea to start a prayer box - prayers in. A few months later, check. Write on back how prayer answered. (

A short but sweet little Christmas story about a boy named Timmy who carries around a shoe box filled with his most precious treasures. (

Very short story about a boy, Timmy who is in foster care. He keeps his treasures in a shoe box but one Christmas, presents his shoe box to baby Jesus. Very heartwarming story that reminds me of The Littlest Angel. (

This short story about a young foster child at Christmas gets right to the point. Christmas is a time for hope and belief in God. This foster child’s shoe box contains all the things that meant something to him, and he always carries it with him, until the end of the story. An interesting part of this tale is the backstory about how the author came up with the idea for this tender and inspirational Christmas story. (
