There are different hobbies people usually follow to spend their free time productively. Some are interested in reading, some in cooking, some in gardening etc. Then, there’s Mrs. _Sherly Abraham who was a Bank Manager by profession and lives with his loving family of four, blessed with the faith in Jesus Christ. Mrs. Sherly is an enthusiast of stories. She reads stories of all sorts whenever he gets free time. One day she happened to pass through the Thiruvalla – Kozhencherry road to visit her friend in Ranni. On her way back, she decided to get some books from Sathyam Publishers, where she used to get books regularly during the pre-Covid period. She went through several collections of stories and picked a handful. One of those was ‘Stories for a Faithful Heart’ compiled by Alice Gray. She has been longing for the book for quite some time.
Each story in the book has a message to the reader and the stories caught her interest. She went through them, one by one. But one story touched her deep. The story is titled ‘Charlie’s Blanket’ by Wendy Miller. It is about a kid from a poor family who sacrificed the blanket of her very dear baby doll for Jesus Christ. The story is set in the U.S during Christmas time. It gives the idea of compassion. It shows what exactly Jesus came to this world for. It is all about sacrificial love, the very exact message Jesus Christ gives through his life as the Son of God, the Creator of all living beings.
Mrs. Sherly told us that she came to realize that each person should have an open heart for others. She started to look into his life to see what she does for others. The introspection led her to the conclusion that apart from making her life comfortable, she’s not doing anything favouring the needy. She once did things within her professional boundaries but nothing else to transform the lives of those around her. That’s when she decided to sponsor children who required special care. Mrs. Sherly along with her husband initiated voluntary works to care for children with disabilities and needed special support. A story of compassion made her go for a soul searching adventured which led him to transform the lives of those in need upholding his faith in Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour.
She personally expressed her joy in finding the book she always wanted to read, and she extended her gratitude to the team ‘Love Package’ for donating ‘her precious book’ to the Sathyam Publishers where she got the book from. “I cannot find the words to express how I felt when I found this book here. I can see how brilliantly God acts in my life which helped me to bring a change in myself, which I believe has in turn help others” with a big smile.
