LOVE 4 THE CHILDREN

Hi! Once again I’d like to share about the events at Grozovo Asylum. This month has been a very busy one and a very fruitful too. I’d like to tell you a story about one boy who attends our classes. His name is Nikita and he is 9 years old. This boy gave us a tough time misbehaving and trying to attract attention to himself by all kinds of means. Some time ago one more guy joined our team and he began to give more of his time to this boy. He managed to find a key to his heart and love him unconditionally. And it bore such good results. Nikitka became more active at the lessons and his behaviour has greatly improved.
There is also not very good news. During this winter a lot of kids fell ill and are still unwell. We always pray for their health. But I know that physical and emotional strength is usually the result of good relationship with God and family. So that’s why I encourage you to pray that God would give the kids a family of their own where they would be loved and wanted. They all dream about that!
I would also like you to know the topics we discussed this month:
1. “How to fight discontent?” We talked to the kids about the importance of staying grateful and taking a happy attitude to life.
2. “Gratefulness” Some orphans are getting the idea that the society is in debt towards them and take acts of kindness for granted. We told them that gratefulness is something we all need to learn.
3. “Who is God?” The kids were challenged to ask themselves what role God plays in their lives.
4. “Prayer – talking to God” God wants to have close relationship with us where dialogue takes a very important place. We talked with kids how prayer becomes the avenue to building a strong relationship with God and sustaining a dialogue with Him.
