christian short children's story

There was a girl named Mary. Mary's family was very poor. But she was a devout Christian. One Sunday, after church, she found a coin on the ground. She thought about keeping it, but she remembered the teachings about honesty. So, she gave the coin to the pastor. The next day, a kind neighbor brought them a big basket of food. Mary believed it was God's reward for her honesty.

Forgiveness is another important lesson. In the story of Jesus and the adulterous woman, Jesus forgave the woman when others wanted to stone her. This story tells children that they should forgive others, just as God forgives them.

Another story could be about the saints in general. Halloween has its roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain, and later Christianity incorporated some of its elements. Christian saints are often seen as heroic figures. Their stories of faith, kindness, and standing up against wrongdoings can be told as Halloween stories for children. For example, St. Francis of Assisi and his love for all creatures. His story can teach children about the values of Christianity like compassion and respect for all life, which can be a positive message during Halloween when there is a focus on the spiritual and the afterlife.

The tale of 'Daniel in the Lion's Den' is also suitable. Daniel was thrown into a den of lions because he refused to stop praying to God. But God protected him and the lions didn't harm him. This story shows children that God is always with them in difficult situations.

The story of Jonah is also great for children. Jonah was told by God to go to Nineveh. But he ran away and got on a ship. A storm came and he was thrown into the sea and swallowed by a big fish. Inside the fish, he prayed to God and when the fish spat him out, he finally went to Nineveh as God had commanded, teaching about obedience.

The first Thanksgiving story often involves the Pilgrims and Native Americans. Christian children might learn that the Pilgrims, who were religious settlers, gave thanks to God for a successful harvest with the help of the Native Americans. They shared a meal together, which is seen as the origin of Thanksgiving. It was a time of cooperation and gratitude in the face of a new and challenging life in the New World.

In a Christian children's group, they were preparing for Valentine's Day. A young boy named Tom was inspired by the story of the Good Samaritan. He thought about how he could be kind like that. He found out that there was a family in their church that was going through a tough time. Tom, with the help of his parents, made a Valentine's basket filled with treats and a note that said 'God loves you and so do we'. He anonymously left it at the family's doorstep, demonstrating the spirit of Christian love on Valentine's Day.

There is a story of a Tamil Christian girl named Mary. Mary loved to sing hymns in the church choir. One Sunday, a famous singer was supposed to come to the church to perform. But the singer got sick at the last minute. Mary, though very shy, stepped up and sang beautifully. Her pure voice filled the church, and everyone felt the presence of God. This story shows that even a small child can make a big impact with their faith and talent.

Another great one is the story of Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus was a short man, a tax collector. He climbed a tree to see Jesus. Jesus noticed him and went to his house. Zacchaeus was so touched that he promised to give half of his possessions to the poor and pay back four times what he had wrongly taken. This story can teach children about repentance and God's acceptance. It's a great story to end the day with.

A story is about a child named Tim. Tim had a pet lamb. One winter, a poor family in the village was very cold. Tim's lamb had a lot of wool. So, Tim sheared the lamb and gave the wool to the family to make warm clothes. He was being kind just like Jesus taught. He felt good knowing he helped others.
