2. Charity event for kids on Christmas

The idea from Svetlana Teshik, Czech Republic

Today my husband and I were shopping in a big shopping center. On the first floor of the store was erected a wall of cardboard, and around the crowded people. It turned out that one charity organized a campaign - they collected gifts for kids from orphanages.

On the wall hung photos of children from different orphanages, and under each of them an inscription - that everyone wanted to get on Christmas (in Europe - this is the most important holiday of the year). My husband and I exchanged glances and without words and understood each other. The little girl was called Camilka, we did not immediately realize that this is a girl - a short haircut, sad look, clothes are clearly not in size and from someone else's shoulder. She really wanted a doll for a doll. We were given a postcard, which she wrote, or, more accurately, she can not write yet, adult people wrote for her: "Darling Jesus ...." (in the end, she painted a carriage she would like to receive). I had tears in my eyes when I read it. We bought this stroller and signed her a card (the Lord will forgive us for signing up on his behalf there).

Some kind people got a very good idea - to organize such an action in the center of the trading hall. People come for big purchases with great resources and, as a rule, with a good mood. If the heart has responded - a number of shops where you can buy these gifts for kids. I saw that people responded. When we brought the stroller for Camilka, we were given a gift to her postcard, which she herself made and where her photo was. And they gave a red marker so that on the wall, opposite her photos, I could write: "COMPLETED!"

This is the most special postcard I have ever received on Christmas. I will keep it and I will pray for the little Camille and other kids who write letters to Jesus and want to believe in miracles. We returned with my husband just winged, that another little man was made happy.


1. Who should I congratulate on Christmas?

Christmas is the perfect time of year! We often smile, we often wish good, we often get presents, and moreover it's a day off! It's a pity, after all these charms, the birthday is forgotten! According to a recent poll of 70 percent of young Englishmen by British sociologists, only 8 percent of English children associate Christmas holidays with the birth of Jesus Christ. (December 21, 2000, NTV.ru).

These days people congratulate each other with Christmas, forgetting to mention the name of the born. We wish each other all the best, they write to us that they remember us, BUT WHERE WE ARE HERE ??? And here we are, if the birthday - Jesus? Church is the light of the world, if not, then no one will remind this "kind" Christmas world of Him who is worthy of glory on this day! How to do it? Very simply!

The next time someone congratulates you, saying: "With Christmas!", Ask him the question: "How?". Puzzle a man! Make him think! Tell him what a happy birthday is to congratulate Jesus. And invite to church!

Moreover, we invite you to participate in the international campaign "Congratulate Jesus" Already, at the stops and plaques of your city's announcement, small announcements may appear: "Have you already congratulated Jesus on His Birthday?" At the bottom of the ads can be placed the address of the church with information about the time of the divine services! Join us!
