Title: God's Wonderful Gift
Content Hello! childhood friends. Will it soon become our friends' favorite 'Biriri~'? What does 'Piriri' mean here? Yes. It's Christmas. Also called Christmas. What's the first thing that comes to your mind when Christmas comes? Ok. There are baby Jesus, stars, magi, angels, and many more. Among them, gifts are probably the most memorable after baby Jesus. Everyone wants to receive a nice gift on Christmas Day. So today, I'm going to tell you a story about a family where a teacher received a gift that is only available in the world.
In a village lived a six-year-old boy named Hans and his family. My family consisted of 7 people, my mom, dad, and 5 siblings. Hans's was very poor. Even in the cold winter, I couldn't turn on the heating, so it was so cold in the house that white breath came out when I said ho. Also, because everyone in the family had to go through the winter without a down parka, the Hans and her family stayed close to each other. We played together while we were playing, and we slept together tightly when we slept. Because it was less cold.
Were our friends and Hans's poor family happy? Or was it unfortunate? Yes, I was happy. Although they were poor enough to live in the cold at home, the Hans family loved God and loved each other very much.
Christmas has come to Hans's house as well. Hans' parents were a little worried about the Christmas present. I didn't have enough money to buy gifts for the children. Now tomorrow is Christmas, and I have nothing to give to the children other than five candies. In the middle of the night when the children were all asleep, the mother took out a piece of paper and scissors. Why? Mom tried to make pretty dolls out of paper instead of a gift. Mom carefully cut the paper and made angels, deer, candles, hearts, bells, etc. Then I took the paper dolls and went out to the yard.
What on earth did Hans' mother go out to do in the cold yard? There was a nice tree like a Christmas tree in Hans's yard. Mom put candy and paper dolls between the branches so the kids could wake up tomorrow morning and find candy gifts on the tree.
'I hope the children will like this gift... .'
Mom sighed a little and went back into the house. There were people who were all looking at a mother like this. Who? Was the neighbor's uncle looking through a telescope? No. If anyone was watching, it was God. God decided to give Hans' family a wonderful gift.
Step 1 first! Shall we shout together? "Stage 1!" God started pouring snow. Snow piled up softly on the branches of Hans or four branches. After that, let's all say "Step 2!" God woke the sleeping spider. “Spider, you can see the tree in Hans’s front yard over there. Go to that tree and run your webs nicely.” The spider decorated the tree by pulling a silver web from the back end of the boat.
The time has come for the sun to rise. How many steps are you now? Yes. All together, “Step 3!” God was waiting for Hans's family to rise. Hans and four children got up one by one and gathered around their mother. Then my mother told me to go out to the yard and look through the trees. At that very moment, God made dew to form on the tree's web. Inside the house, the children are having fun and trying to get dressed. As the children opened the door one after another and came out, the dazzling morning sun shone on the Hans four trees. Then, “Wow~” The dewdrops on the spider’s web sparkled more dazzlingly than any other jewel in the world in the sunlight. It turned out to be such a wonderful Christmas tree. Hans, the other siblings, and Mom and Dad who followed were so amazed that they couldn't keep their mouths shut.
“Children, this Christmas morning God has given us such a wonderful gift! Shall we all sing the hymn under the tree?” Dad said.
“Yes, Dad! ♪ I'm glad the Savior has come. Welcome ten thousand people~♬.”
The Hans family held each other's hands and sang a Christmas hymn, smiling happily. God, who saw the scene, was also delighted with it.
Children, Christmas is a joyful day when God sent us the greatest and most precious gift, the baby Jesus. Therefore, Christmas should be a happy day for our friends to feel God's love and God's heart. This year, instead of remembering Christmas as a day to receive a gift or a day to eat out, I hope that you and your family will feel the love of God warmly and spend it as a day of joy.
