Story time (Christmas)














Story time
Wrote Christmas on our white board and then explained C is for CHRISTMAS.
(I was worried if I will get into any kind of trouble as every one in this area is non believer but I had to do what I had to do).
I asked if any body knows why we celebrate Christmas (wrong question to ask because no one celebrates Christmas here).
So I told them we are going to celebrate Christmas today but before that let me tell you a story.
Story of Jesus,
‘ tho fir sub k sub bolo Chritmas ka yeh pyara tyohaar jeevan mein laye khushiyan apaar’.
I read the story and explained it to them very carefully, every one in sight was staring at the beautiful pictures. I kept going on with the story. Ended up saying, ‘ may God bless you all’.
Then I told them this story that it’s real and it’s taken from the Bible. I read few verses from the Bible and prayed for all the kids.
Fun time (wish we had more help.)
I had made a list of kids who were coming regularly. They were the first ones to get  their gift packets in which we had one biscuit.2 candies, one strawberry cream wafer and some imported items which were only for young ones, given to me by Amanda didi.
They all lined up and we were giving out packets like we were Santa but it was not easy!  It was so hard to control so many kids and we were only 3, I was wondering how Santa might have felt when he was distributing gifts…over all it was a fun time but busy evening.

Please pray that God will pour his blessings in this place.

The things I observed : there were some older people who were listening to the story too.
The kids paid more attention when I was explaining.
When I was distributing gifts some of the parents were helping kids to be in line and helped with control.  I am thankful to god that he has given me this opportunity.

The people who have been helping me in this work.
Mr & Mrs Julia Reynolds,  Mr & Mrs Crider,  Mr Dick Wechter ,  didi Amanda Lehman…thank you very much.

(.Thanks for praying  ..wish u all very happy Christmas )
