Do you believe this could have happened???
A very wealthy man stepped out into the street on Christmas Eve - There was a very old and disheveled man sitting on the
Frozen snow over the sidewalk - asking for alms, so that he'd be able to buy himself something warm to drink. The very old man had ice on his long beard, ice all over his clothes, and his one hand, was holding as if it had been glued to it, a plastic cup. The old homeless man saw the wealthy man and raised his cup to him, asking for anything which would provide him with a cup of hot chocolate.
The wealthy man was on his way to a store which sold spirits. He was giving a party that EVE and was much in a hurry.
He sighed when he was interrupted by the old man, but said to himself, 'this is Christmas after all, I guess . . so he fished into his pocket and drew a dime, which he threw into the very old man's cup. He then continued on his quest for the Spirits' store. Finding it, and opening the door, the rich man heard a >

A powerful and sonorous voice behind him - call his name. To his amazement, he turned around, and in place of the ragged old man, his eyes were nearly blinded by the sight of THIS MOST beautiful angel he would never have even imagine would exist!
The wealthy man, was moved to ask of the apparition - what would you want from me? Is it something to do with the old homeless man, who was here before - and the angel, before BLINDING COMPLETELY HIS EYES, SO AS TO OPEN THEM AGAIN WITH SIGHT, said : 'A dime Only for such poor creature of one MAN who sought comfort in a cup of hot chocolate - when Christ offered Himself be sacrificed for the sake of Mankind?' - Then the apparition disappeared . . leaving the wealthy man, MUCH, MUCH RICHER than he ever had been. For the RICHNESS, THE WEALTH he had acquired, had been that, of a change for A FAR BETTER HEART?
Do you believe, out there this did occur through a show of Amazing Grace???
Thank you! Merry Christmas!!!
for the whole of MANKIND?'

ye of little faith, through impatience, what will you achieve, receive of Grace, which means; "Favour Granted By God, which is unmerited!
And THAT was what the man received, despite ALL his shortcomings!
AND further, the old man was an angel of God, a teacher, disguised in order to AWAKEN the "wealthy" man of BEFORE, through a lesson.

This, to me, is kind of like Christmas past, present and future where Scrooge finally sees what Christmas is really supposed to be about.
It is possible it could have happened. I have seen people who have so much and don't want to part with even a dime.
I hope your Christmas is going well.
Merry Christmas, Grecia.

Christmas carol on the sound system in the store. He was annoyed at first, but after listening to the song for a second or two, he knew he had heard that music before....along, long time ago, in a place far away. It was that song that his friends mom sang all the time, when Christmas time was near. So, naturally, he thought of her, and then he thought of all that she had taught him---things that he had forgotten over the years in the hurry & scurry of staying afloat in the vast sea of living. He remembered how she had told him over and over, about helping Gods creatures--all of God's creatures. He felt such shame for tossing that homeless man a dime, that he left the store, and found the man, bundled him up in his car and took him off to his house to enjoy the Christmas spirit with others.

Are we supposed to guess what the rich man heard?
lol
Ok the rich man heard a growling sound asking for help. The old man roll on the ice and asking for help.
Will he help the poor old man or not? I hope he will ...
Who knows ..... that poor old man is Santa Claus himself.
Cheers!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all!

I truly believe we are sometimes tested by angels that are sent to test our true spirit of giving and love. Sometimes I pass and sometimes I fail.

...spirit? That is what he was looking for, after all.
Finish up, don't leave us in suspense.
Yes, there are angels that can come to us in many different ways, usually when we are unaware.

I think it could happen. Although it is very sad if it did.
