A man and his small son were walking slowly down the streets of a large American city.  It was Christmas time.  It was wartime.  The little boy was pointing out all the service stars hanging in the windows of the homes.  Each star proclaimed the fact that the son was in some branch of the military.
 
They came to a wide gap between the houses.  There in the black sky between the buildings was the bright Evening Star, shining like a diamond.  “Oh look, Daddy,” cried the little boy.  “God must have given His son, for He has a star in His window.”
