It was her first Christmas with Jesus!
When you ask the children from the orphanage that Christmas means to them, they respond that it presents, festive Christmas tree, and, of course, Santa Claus.
My story is about a little girl Valya from boarding school, which they spent holidays at my house with me. At this time, she understood the meaning of Christmas. These holidays were the best in the life of this girl! She was able to know the real story of the birth of the Savior Jesus Christ on this earth. And it was so cool to watch her shining eyes and a smile that is about to be reached out to the ears with joy when she helped us decorate the apartment and make delicious pies.
And it Christmas Eve! Everything is ready. Came the very moment when we are in a circle of friends and loved ones to tell the truth to the child. We told her that Christmas – it’s not just gifts and Christmas Tree … Christmas – the birth of Jesus is his holiday, his birthday. He came to save people, to give people hope and eternal life. And then we all prayedte the birthday of Jesus. And this smile never left her gentle little face. And we took care of my friends did it too pleasant, we presented her with gifts and told that God loves her very much and wants her too happy. The next day we went to church and to enjoy the holiday of Christmas with the church, and see the wonderful Christmas productions, and together praise God for His love for us!
Yes, this is a great blessing to hear the prayer of thanksgiving and an orphaned child to see her shining face and his eyes filled with joy and understanding of all that is happening! Great God, and through you He can change the lives of others. Just be obedient to His voice!
