In the glow of the matches, she sees several lovely visions, including a Christmas tree and a holiday feast. The girl looks skyward and sees a shooting star, and she remembers that her grandmother who has passed away once said that a falling star means someone has died and is going into heaven. As she lights the next match, she sees a vision of her grandmother, who was the only person to have treated her with love and kindness. She strikes one match after another to keep the vision of her grandmother alive for as long as she can.
When she runs out of matches, the child dies and her grandmother carries her soul to heaven. The next morning, the villagers find the child dead and take pity on her. They have no way of knowing what she went through. This is my photo taken today of the Little Match Girl…remember the blessings in your life today.
