"Papa, would it be okay if we put a candle in the window so Mama can find her way home?"
John's family is struggling to face Christmas without his loving wife. However, six-year-old Emily is full of faith. Even though her older sisters try to gently lower her expectations, the young girl truly believes her mother will visit on Christmas Eve. In fact, she is so certain her mother will come that she puts a candle in the window to guide her mother on her journey home. Before she passed away, their mother made sure the most cherished holiday traditions would still be there—beautiful handmade dresses, new patent-leather shoes, and a lovingly crafted doll for little Emily. But on the way to a Christmas Eve celebration, the doll is lost, and Emily is heartbroken. Emily—and her grieving sisters—need their mother more than ever. Inspired by true events, A Candle in the Window is a beautiful reminder that our loved ones never leave us and prayers really do get answered—especially when you have the faith of a child.
My Review:
Oh, how I loved this story and the DVD! It's so tender right from the first scene. How can anyone not feel the tug of heartstrings as you see little Emily missing her mother and believing that her mom will visit her on Christmas Eve? This sweet story of faith from a six-year-old is not only inspiring but shows the strength of family love. This story is based on true events from the life of Michele Ashman Bell's grandmother and aunts' experience. This darling DVD portrays how even while dealing with grief can bring healing through faith and love as we mourn our loved ones. This DVD is the perfect addition to Christmas celebrations helping us remember what is most important as we celebrate Christ's birth. This DVD is recommended for families and individuals of all ages. It's a perfect gift for loved ones.
