The Christmas Theatre Doll and Madeline's Kind Heart

Once upon a time in a land far far away, 

there unfolded a tiny little theater 

that lived beneath the the lace and 

ruffles of Mrs. Christmas' fine gown. 

She loves to tell her stories for they 

all have a happy ending. 

As the theater curtains open a scene 

comes to life that appears to be a Victorian Parlor. 

A lovely scene of Christmas long ago.
 

There she is, sweet Madeline. 
She insisted on giving all her toys to 

the children at the orphanage. 

You see Madeline has a huge heart of gold. 

She's generous to a fault, as they say. 
But she does not consider it a fault at all. 
Madeline considers it a true blessing 
to give. A lesson many grownups 
have never learned. 

"Others" are far more important 

to her than herself. 

She has asked Santa for gifts only

for the sweet little orphans this Christmas.

To her surprise Santa Claus visited her home 

during the silence of the night. He has filled 
her stocking with candies and fruits 
and left special gifts under her tree 

as reward for her kind and gentle ways.

Soon you can be sure that Madeline will take 

even those lovely gifts and bless 

other children less fortunate than herself. 

To Madeline that is the best gift of all! 

The theater curtains slowly close until yet 

another story unfolds.  

 

The end... for now.

A SPECIAL NOTE FROM EDIE: 
8/31/12

I received a phone call from Marie 
today to let me know she and her 
family are okay in Mississippi. 
Isaac has dropped lots and lots of 
rain on them and Marie's property is 
quite flooded. The main road is flooded 
and closed and they have been without 
electricity for 3 days. 
Please keep Marie and all her loved 
ones in your prayers! They are very 
appreciated!! Your prayers make a 
difference! 

Thanks & God bless, Edie

UPDATE ON MARIE: 
9/1/12 

The water stopped rising just before 
it reached Marie's house. 
It has started to recede!!  
Please continue to keep Marie & 
family in your prayers as they 
begin to recover from the flooding. 

Many thanks, EDie
