She told the story of a man who was raised in foster care and without a friend in the world who decided one year that he was going to make the best of Christmas. As he left the grocery store he was hit by a car. He had a broken leg, arm and ribs. He thought to himself of how everything was going wrong for him. Next to him was a man who just came out of surgery. They began to talk and this preacher inspired him to thank Heavenly Father for his trials. As he did the preachers wife came into the room. He told her of his background and to his surprise she was his sister and that he six more brothers and sisters. Because of the accident he was able to find out who he was and that he had a family.
