“I have heard your prayer and seen your tears.” 2 Kings 20:5
Mathew was one of the unhappiest boys in the world. This was his perception.
It was Christmas time when people were buying gifts and the stores crowded. The boy stopped in front of the stores, looking to the exposed presents. He was searching his pocket and realized that his small amount was not enough to buy a gift for his sister. He started to cry. Suddenly, an elegant lady asked for his name. That is how Mathew Smith has added to the church list of the kids to be invited to a special Christmas program. The children invited had the possibility to choose only one gift from the many prepared gifts. Mathew saw a car, but when he had to choose, he asked for a little doll. The Lady gave him the doll, a gift for Mathew’s sister. Few minutes later the boy arrived at home, the elegant lady was ringing the door and she gave him a box containing the car he renounced to. Now, he is the happiest boy in the world.
