On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to

go to a candlelight service at church that night.

Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood

church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat

where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her

friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with

her.

The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from

her old and new friends there.

The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile

on Alice's face.
