Give Appropriate Gifts John 3:16

Last Sunday, my church pastor shared this story with us.

His mother bought a dress for the great grand-daughter as a present. After that, the little girl's mummy noticed a change in the girl's character. Little grand daughter used to be an angel - obedient, cheerful, helpful, joyful, loving, good-natured. But now she is very rebellious, full of anger and very disobedient and throws her temper - she is not even 3 !

Her parents and all in the family tried to find out what has happened. I believe the Holy Spirit must have revealed to the mummy that there is something not right with the dress. Upon inspection, they found a label "Barbie" attached to the dress! The parents told the little girl about this dress and asked her permission to discard it. The little girl gave her permission and the granny (pastor's wife) shred it to pieces. And now the little girl is back to her normal self - the little cute and obedient child of God!

When we buy presents for our loved ones, please choose with care.
