故事
玛格丽特焦急地等着她最好的朋友来家里玩。她只能一瘸一拐地从卧室走到前门的窗边，不停地往外张望。
她的妈妈非常高兴，终于有人来陪女儿玩了。已经有好几个星期没人来看她了。三周前，玛格丽特刚做了脚部手术。她天生双脚扭曲，走路时会感到疼痛。年仅6岁的她，只想像其他孩子一样无痛地奔跑和玩耍。一位朋友的到访肯定能让她振作起来。
手术后，教会里的人对玛格丽特和她的家人表现出了关爱。一些人带来了美味的食物给她和家人分享，其他的小朋友和家人带来了气球、贺卡或特别的礼物给她，但这些似乎仍不足以弥补她的孤单。
可怜的小玛格丽特非常伤心，因为她在幼儿园时的最好的朋友莎拉在她手术前一周搬走了。自那以后，她再也没见过莎拉，而莎拉是她唯一的真正朋友。莎拉是一个非常贴心的小女孩，尽管玛格丽特有身体上的障碍，但莎拉总是牵着她的手一起上学放学。她们在一棵大树下读书，也在夏天一起无数次地野餐。玛格丽特非常想念她。
莎拉知道什么是爱别人，什么是关心别人。在一个夏天炎热得不能外出的日子里，莎拉来到玛格丽特家。她们聊了很久。玛格丽特的妈妈听到了整个谈话，惊讶于一个年纪这么小的女孩竟然对神有如此深刻的认识。莎拉告诉玛格丽特，她在主日学里学到，要在生活中用言语、思想和行动把耶稣放在第一位。她还说，当她用这些方式把耶稣放在第一位时，她就是在向其他人展现她对神的爱。
对于玛格丽特的妈妈来说，这是一次非常真实又奇妙的经历。小小的莎拉一直是她女儿的好朋友。虽然玛格丽特不能像其他孩子那样奔跑玩耍，但她知道莎拉真的爱她，因为莎拉有一颗爱神的心。
这时，玛格丽特又一瘸一拐地从卧室走出来，焦急地向窗外望去。那是莎拉！她正跑上车道来找她，脸上带着灿烂的笑容。

Showing God's Love
A young girl shows how much she loves God by putting Jesus first in her life.
TOPICS:Caring, Following Jesus, Godliness, Love, Pleasing God DURATION:Approximately 8 minutesMargaret was waiting anxiously for her best friend to come over to play. All she could do was limp back and forth from her bedroom to peek out the window next to the front door. |
Her mother was so happy. Finally, someone was coming over to play with her daughter. It had been weeks since anyone had come for a visit. Three weeks earlier Margaret had foot surgery. She was born with her feet turned around, and it had become painful for her to walk. At her young age of 6, all she really wanted to do was run and play, like the other kids, without pain in her feet and legs. A visit from a friend would certainly cheer her up.
There were people from church who showed kindness to Margaret and her family after the surgery. Some brought yummy food for her family to share. Other young friends and their families brought balloons and cards or special treats to her, but it didn't seem to be enough to fill her loneliness.
Poor little Margaret was especially sad because her best friend from kindergarten had moved away one week before her surgery. She hadn’t seen Sarah since, and she was the only true friend Margaret had. Sarah was such a sweet little girl who in spite of Margaret’s handicap would always hold her hand as they walked back and forth to school. They would read together under a nice shady tree and have endless picnics during the summer time. Margaret missed her very much.
Sarah knew what it meant to love and help others, and to show that she cared. On one of those summer days when it was too hot to be outside, Sarah came over to Margaret’s house. They talked a long time. Margaret’s mother overheard the whole conversation and was surprised that such a young girl would know so much about God. Sarah told Margaret about how she learned in Bible School that she was supposed to put Jesus first in her life, with her words, her thoughts, and with her actions. She went on to say that when she puts Jesus first in those ways, she is showing other people how much she loves God.
It was something so real and amazing for Margaret’s mother to hear. Little Sarah had been such a great friend to her daughter. Although Margaret wasn’t able to run around and play like the other kids, she could tell Sarah really did love her, because she had a heart that loved God.
Once again, Margaret limped out from her bedroom and anxiously glanced out the window. There was Sarah, running up the driveway to see her. She had a big smile on her face.
