Candle in the Window Lights a Small Town Christmas
A man recalls a Christmas Eve on the upper Smoky prairie where a lone candle in a soddy schoolhouse window guides a lost traveler and warms a grieving girl, in a tale that honors mercy, faith, and human kindness. The story ends with reflections on love, hope, and the message that compassion matters more than wealth or power.
