Released: 2018
Starring: Candace Cameron Bure and Luke MacFarlane
Summary: A woman receives a visit from a guardian angel who takes her on a trip to Christmases past, present, and future.
Candance Cameron Bure is a Hallmark A-lister, and she doesn't disappoint in this sweet story about a woman and her shoes.
The Plot
Noelle Carpenter is a talented photographer who settles into the position of human resource manager for Fulton's after a break-up with her boyfriend.
Jake is a fireman who moves into an apartment above her who is also struggling with a career decision. Should he remain a fireman, or take the desk job of Deputy Chief--a position his deceased father once held with great distinction?
Fulton's is sponsoring the annual Fire Station Gala, and, you guessed it, Noelle and Jake must collaborate on planning the celebration.
Party Planning
Uh-oh--Noelle and Jake can't agree on how the gala should be themed. Can you remember each of their visions for the celebration?
Noelle feels the gala should be traditional, classy, tasteful, and elegant, which is exactly what Mrs. Fulton expects, since the gala will reflect her company's brand.
Jake, on the other hand, wants to make the gathering silly and fun, which is how his fire station family prefers it.
The Shoes
The guardian angel first appears when Noelle is accidentally locked inside of Fulton's. At the behest of the angel, she puts on a pair of shoes that plummets her into the past where she finds herself married and living in a beautiful studio. It was a glimpse at what her life could have been if she had followed her heart with photography.
Nuggets of Wisdom From the Guardian Angel
The guardian angel imparts wisdom to Noelle that we could apply to our own lives:
- When we lose faith, we need to find it again.
- Our choices all lead to different possibilities.
- You have to decide what difference in the world you want to make.
- Nothing worth having comes without risk.
The presence of the angel also reminds us that God will try to reach us multiple times when we have lost our way. We don't sacrifice the choice of our free will, but God is in the business of arranging "coincidences," or divine appointments, to nudge us in the right direction.
The guardian angel arranges six "coincidences" for Noelle and Jake to connect. What are they?
(Answers: He came with the fire department when she was locked in Fulton's; He moved into the apartment above her; He was chosen to plan the gala with her; No cabs were available and they took a carriage ride together; They had to make cookies together; A red lever appeared that turned on lights and made snow when they were checking out decorations.)
