A young girl, Caroline (Madeleine Cox), who is being raised by her widowed, Dad, Wes (Christopher Russell), has unshakable faith. After losing her mom a few years ago, she trusts in Jesus, and by the request of her teacher, creates a list of Christmas prayers for others. She prays for her mailman, who needs the funds to travel to see his daughter, a widow whose husband always brought her poinsettias and a schoolmate who is in need of a new coat and boots. This unselfish child also prayed that her father would be happy, as he's lost his spirit when his wife passed.
Natalie (Shae Robins) is an illustrator, who has been looking for some new Christmas inspiration. She stumbles upon Caroline and her dad, literally, as she walked by them with her over-sized purse and accidentally knocked over their cups. Natalie immediately begins to help clean up and apologized. She noticed a paper that had dropped during the cleanup, which contained Caroline's prayer list. Without knowing this list would become the inspiration Natalie decided to help make this little girl's prayers come true.
Natalie, collected the funds needed for the mailman's plane ticket, secretly dropped off poinsettia plants to the window and bought new clothing for her schoolmate, wrapped it up and dropped it off at school to be given to the girl anonymously. With these actions, she began writing and created a child's book about an angel who helps answer prayers.
Throughout the movie, happenstance brings Natalie, Caroline and her father together. Natalie invites Caroline and Wes to her home to bake cookies; while there, Wes comes across Caroline's list. Wes is upset as he feels Natalie may have been using his daughter for her own self-serving promotion and immediately leaves with his daughter.
Caroline, being the faith-filled child she is, tells her dad that she had known all along that Natalie was responsible for all of her prayers being answered, but that she knows that Jesus uses others to answer prayers.
This faith-filled story will keep you inspired throughout the movie.
Matthew 18:3 (NIV)
And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
