0:00.0	Well, Merry Christmas, everyone. This is Heidi St. John. I am going to continue today a tradition
0:05.8	that I have held for many years here, that if my podcast falls on a holiday such as Christmas or Easter,
0:14.5	I will usually read a story for the children. Today I'm going to continue that tradition.
0:19.5	So if you're listening to this and you've got some children nearby, gather them around. I think they're going to love this story.
0:25.0	I'm going to read to you a children's story that was recommended to be by my wonderful friend,
0:30.8	Melissa Crabtree, called The Something Wonderful. This is the Heidi St. John podcast. You guys,
0:36.9	Merry Christmas. Stick around. I think
0:38.9	you're going to be encouraged. All right. So I hope you guys are having a great Christmas.
0:52.7	And mom, maybe you are finishing up some last-minute Christmas things, or maybe this is a
0:58.3	really good time for you to get some hot chocolate for your kids while you make something
1:02.8	to eat.
1:03.4	And I will read your kids a story.
1:06.5	So a little fun fact about me, I absolutely love children's books. I love them every day of the
1:13.3	week and twice on Sunday. And it's one of the reasons why I rage so much against what's happening
1:18.5	in our libraries and with children's stories because they should be life-given. We should be
1:22.8	able to sit down with our children and read them a story and have them love it. Last year, I read to you with
1:29.1	my daughter, Sailor, and this year I'm not able to do that. So I'm going to read to you a story
1:35.2	that my friend Melissa introduced me to. And when she told me about it, I was like, oh my goodness,
1:39.4	that's the one. Send it to me and let's read it. So this story is called the Something Wonderful, A Christmas
1:46.2	Story by Karen Hill. Something Wonderful, A Christmas Story by Karen Hill. This book, by the way,
1:53.2	is published via Crossway, and you guys can get access to it. If you love this, I will link back
1:58.6	to it in the show notes today. All right, here we go. Hope you guys are sitting down. Got a blanket, some hot chocolate. Let's read it. If you love this, I will link back to it in the show notes today. All right, here we go.
