For Sam's Sake Christmas 2021

Michele, Gregory, and Randy waited patiently for Sam to come bouncing up the school bus steps. Gregory was the first to notice. It seemed Sam had forgotten something-or did he?Outside the bus window, the world looked very dreary. Normally, this time of the year, heaven's clouds would be covering the earth with a garment of snow; however, for some reason, Mr. North Wind said "No!" Christmas was only days away, but the good cheer that brings out the best in most people during the holiday seemed absent. Wicked Herod held so many in the tight grip of the Big Thing that they were very close to forgetting the Main Thing.In the throes of the world's pain, dreariness, and confusion, Sam faced a problem of his own. His problem required help from his friends, a deep faith, and courage. He would also need assistance from the ever-observing Cloud friends, who faced a trial of their own for the problem to be resolved. If help is to come, it has to come soon.
