LOVE 4 THE CHILDREN

This month, a new child was added to the Smilovichi shelter – Maxim, whom we have already known, because he was there a few years ago. His situation in the family was more complicated, the parents did not give him proper care and now he experienced a new pain. When we had a meeting, he was very happy and he said that he remembered us and very happy to see us again!

Before Christmas, we finished the biblical lessons in the Old Testament and spoke with children about Samson and Ruth, their lives, obedience and disobedience to God and what consequences it led. For example Samson. We explained that obedience to God is always a blessing and the Lord does not ask us to do something impossible or commit a bad act. People can make sin or advise incorrectly, but our Heavenly Father will never! On the example of Ruth, we told about how God loves us and takes care of us despite difficult times or circumstances. We stressed many times the loyalty to God and his ability to fix everything in our lives if we trust him and sincerely ask for help.

During Christmas, we bought a cake and prepared gifts for each child. Diana prepared a statement in which it was very affordable about the true sense of the holiday of the Nativity of Christ. Then children were eating the cake and talking . At the end of the meeting we distributed gift boxes and children were really pleased! Milana even looked around with happiness and said that she had always dreamed of such a gift. Each child was happy, grateful and truly experienced God’s limitless love and care. Glory to Him!
