Its Christmas time again with bells and stars, gifts and smiles around! It is the time of the year, which is most awaited by most of us. Christmas is time of joy and sharing for Christ is the reason of this season.

And there was nothing more beautiful and precious than the smiles on all faces of children at Peniel Children Home. We, along with the children at the home could spend days in celebration, decoration, fun and laughter. It is for sure that these children will never forget this Christmas season at children home.

Their sweet melodies of carol songs resounded the Christmas air in six different languages and danced till stomach out. These little ones are blessed with so much of talents within, and there was a day to put up their talents before the villagers, who were mostly non Christians and share the gospel through dance, drama and songs. Not only that but also, it was a time for the children to learn the true meaning of sharing by serving others delicious food, sweets, cakes and celebrating the joy of season. 


It was also accompanied by prayer and devotion for the children at the home and meditating Scripture portion about the birth of Christ. The message of salvation and the true meaning of Christmas was explained to the children, that a Christmas is not Christmas if it does not last forever in our hearts!

Indeed as quoted in American Magazine, vol. 28(1889):

"To give up one's very self — to think only of others — how to bring the greatest happiness to others — that is the true meaning of Christmas” the children at Peniel Children Home, could bring out the true meaning of Christmas this year!
