Christmas Wand

Sometimes, God puts things in our way to trip us up and make us see things from a most unlikely source. In The Christmas Wand, that source is a Wise Old Tree. This story follows a grandfather as he strives to make a gift for his granddaughter and, in the process, discovers a new world from the perspective of a stoic yet whimsical a-hundred-year-old tree. His story is a journey of self-discovery and purpose as he begins to understand the redemptive power of Jesus through the lens of God's creation.As Grandfather begins to craft a worn-out, old, broken stick that he tripped over, he realizes that he too is broken and worn. God sees in Grandfather what he cannot see in himself-a beautiful creation. During the journey, while Grandfather removes the imperfections from the stick, he is reminded by the kind old tree that the Master molds us too into the gift that we can be to others. But to do this, we must learn to once again have the heart of a child.This is a story of wonder and renewal that can be loved by young and old alike, for all generations. Each one of us, in our own way, is a Christmas wand to others. So let our light shine.
