Lost Sunshine - A Christmas Story
Written by Theresa Gober

Could a childhood memory of a star and three wise men bring it back?

She lost her sunshine one day, and with that, her smile. Her eyes succumbed to a great flood that left her sight dull. Sadness seemed to roll in over her like the clouds over a stormy sea.

Too many months went by and too soon another Christmas season was upon her. She remembered a story she once heard as a little girl; Three Wise Men on a journey, carrying gifts, lost, kind of like her. She remembered the gifts she once held; the gift of laughter, love, joy and so many smiles. Priceless gifts like the ones those wise men were carrying that night, only they didn't lose theirs.

Holding a star in her hand, meant to put atop the Christmas tree she was decorating, something suddenly hit her. Those three wise men were looking up high into the sky at a most bright star and it was leading them like sunshine to their destination.

And so she wondered if she too could look up and once again find her way, her sunshine, her joy, love and maybe even peace.


I'm sending you love and blessings for a great day,
Marlene
