Sophie's Merry Christmas by Ruth Driscoll

Sophie’s Merry Christmas by Ruth Driscoll is a book that makes up in depth and wisdom what it lacks in size.  This book is only 40 pages but in those pages, the will of God for His children is abundantly clear. 

Sophie is a tiny speck of moisture that was hand picked by the Father to come to Earth.  On her descent to her “Destiny” the wind slices and cuts through her causing much discomfort and pain but when she looks at herself she realizes that she has transformed from a glob of moisture into a beautiful sparkling snowflake. 

Sophie always had a dream of going and joining all the water in the ocean.  Along the way, all her friends find their destinies riding the wind, sitting on top of a majestic mountaintop, or being thrown by a small smiling child.  Sophie battles the emotions that we all feel of self-pity and fear as she wonders if she will find her “Destiny.”

But as shown in this touching tale, what we think our destiny will be sometimes takes shape in a different shaped package.

 

I think this book is a wonderful reminder that if God cares so much about tiny droplets of water, birds or a horse pulling a sleigh, then how much more does he care for us.  God has deposited gifts and talents in each one of us that will help us on the way to our destiny. Sometimes we must be like Sophie and let go of our comfort zone and relax and ride the wind of God’s presence as He carries us to the place he wants us to land where we can make the most impact.

This book is a must read and I’m sure it will touch your heart as it did mine. I would recommend this book for all ages.  It serves as a good reminder no matter where you are in your journey to your destiny.
