LOVE 4 THE CHILDREN

In May we met with the younger children. At last it became warmer so we could spend time outside. A change of scene and fresh air positively influenced the guys, they joined the communication and answered the questions more actively. The older guys had topics “Jesus loves children”,” Life and ministry of disciples after the death and resurrection of Christ”. The younger children discussed “Fear”, “Real friendship” and other topics. The topic about friendship and the image of real friend as usually interests children most of all. Many of them have problems with communication. The boy of 8-9 years attracted my special attention. His name’s Artem, he is very short and thin. He rarely visited our meetings and never joined conversations. But a couple of classes in a row he surprised me a lot, because he listened to us very attentively and answered absolutely all the questions, not simple ones! Even the older guys could not find the answer. Moreover he remembered in details what we’d discussed during the previous meetings. It is a great joy for me and actually a little miracle which I observed with my own eyes. Those guys who are underestimated because of their strength, age, appearance or other factors may become the best. It proves that we, people, estimate not like God. The Lord doesn’t look at the things man looks at. Except our conversations we had lessons in creativity with the younger guys. They made beautiful notebooks for themselves, for their friends and educators. Also summer holidays began. They were looking forward to them. Moreover a happy occasion is ahead, our summer camp, where we’ll be glad to see them. Thanks God for this wonderful time!
