Ideas for Christmas

2. Charity event for kids on Christmas

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.
