The kids went to each house in the city and put a gift at each
door.
Slide 8
Mark: Im pleased with what we did. Ill be more pleased if
people start to use gifts again so they can deal with each other
with love and kindness. Mario: Im not very optimistic. Uncle Hanna:
You guys have to leave now! I have to evacuate the museum. Tomorrow
well start our project to expand the museum. Mirna : Thats it? Are
they going to cut down the tree? Mario: All done! We gave out gifts
to everybody. Peter: But some people were not happy.
Slide 9
Peter: I told you that this was not going to work. All our work
was for nothing! Uncle Nour: Dont lose hope. As long as we live, we
have to have hope. Uncle Hanna: Enough talking! I have to close the
museum. By the way Nour, dont forget to take your stuff. After they
cut down the tree, you wont have a job. Uncle Nour: Nobody knows
what will happen tomorrow. Our Lord Jesus taught us how to thank
Him, and praise Him Mario: Good morning Uncle Nour. How are you
today?
Slide 10
Uncle Nour: Good morning kids. Im confident that today will be
a better day. Mirna: Do you still have hope? Madonna: This is very
strange. They will cut down the tree and you will lose your job,
but you still have hope!
Slide 11
Peter: See! All the people are coming to cut down the tree.
Mark: But they are holding the gifts that we gave them. They look
very happy. I dont think theyre here to cut down the tree. Mario:
Grandpa, where were you? Did you see what happened? Grandpa: Yes, I
heard about what you guys did. You brought joy to the city again.
You made the people appreciate the importance of the gifts. The
Mayor made a decision. Mirna: Maybe they came to return the gifts.
Can you hear what theyre saying? People: No one will cut down the
tree! No one will cut down the tree! We know what you guys did and
how you protected the gift tree. Grandpa: Mirna Mario.
Slide 12
Mirna: He wont cut down the tree! Grandpa: Yes! The Kids:
Hurray! We did it! Uncle Nour: Do you understand now why I told you
that as long as we live we have to have hope. God teaches us to
always have hope. He brings light after darkness, sunrise after
sunset, hope after despair. We have to thank Him and praise Him for
all His grace. Thats why we have to thank Him all our lives and
when we go to heaven, well praise Him with the angels and the
saints forever. Mario: Do you mean that all well be doing in heaven
is praising God? What does praise mean? What should I do when I
praise God?
Slide 13
