how we can all be useful in God’s kingdom. Although he<br />
is a handicap, Brightly, uses his beautiful singing voice to<br />
soothe newborn babies with his beautiful voice. Beginning<br />
with his first assignment in the stable at Bethlehem,<br />
Brightly learns that it is more fun to help the newborn<br />

atmosphere.<br />
