He was so glad that at last, out of all those passers-by, someone had stopped and thought of him and his mother.<br><br>With the sound of money dropping in the can, the boy thanked Christina. He also smiled and told her, \u201cGod bless you, God bless you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At these words, Christina felt moved, and her eyes filled with tears. She wished that she could have a chat with the boy but since she did not know what to tell him and it was also time to enter the theater, she had to go.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-836x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12419\" width=\"418\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-836x1024.jpg 836w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-245x300.jpg 245w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-768x941.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-1254x1536.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-1672x2048.jpg 1672w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-800x980.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-1200x1470.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As she walked with her parents, she said to herself, \u201cHow could this be that a hungry, thirsty boy who is living on the pavement with his mother tells me God bless you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christina understood that this boy appreciated the money, the food, and the drink he had received from her. This small gesture from the girl meant a lot to him and so he thanked her and blessed her too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She became aware of how much she was wasting her parents&#8217; money on things that were not important, like when she bought lots of clothes, toys or another new mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christina was so impressed by the words \u2018God Bless You\u2019, that after watching The Lion King musical, she wanted to tell her parents about her idea. She told them that instead of buying clothes from the big stores, she wished to buy a thick jacket and a sleeping bag for both the boy and his mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so they did. They bought the jackets and the sleeping bags and went over to them again. When they arrived, Christina approached the boy, had a short chat with him and asked him what he wished for as a Christmas present. He told her, \u201cRight now I need a pair of gloves, a scarf and a woolen hat because it is too cold outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also need a kind-hearted child like you who can help me in any way.\u201d That night, back at the hotel, Christina kept wondering about that boy. She thought of people and especially children around the world that are homeless. For different reasons, they have no choice but to live on the streets in cardboard boxes in the cold winter and the scorching summer, while she lived in a comfortable home with her family. Before she slept, she said a prayer for him and for the homeless around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now she was too involved. So she decided that when she returned to Malta, she would continue to help an organization that shelters homeless people by offering her time to help those in need. By doing such a good deed, she would be giving the best gift ever to the needy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christina is now asking you: Do you know anyone who needs help? What can you do to help children and adults who unlike you are homeless and must live on the streets?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-tab kt-tab-inner-content kt-inner-tab-3 kt-inner-tab_f60387-f5\"><div class=\"kt-tab-inner-content-inner\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cartone sul marciapiedi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A Cristina piace assistere ad uno dei film classici di Disney, <em>Il re leone<\/em>. Ama tanto Simba, il cucciolo di leone, che ne ha addirittura uno grande di peluche. I suoi genitori le avevano detto che durante le vacanze natalizie avrebbero fatto un viaggio in Inghilterra e l\u2019avrebbero portata ad assistere allo splendido musical&nbsp; <em>Il re leone<\/em> in uno dei teatri di Londra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Camminando lungo le strade di Londra, Cristina rimase sbalordita dal gran numero di persone che compravano regali. Entravano e uscivano da negozi diversi: di giocattoli, di abbigliamento, di cioccolato e dolci.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-1-836x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12412\" width=\"418\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-1-836x1024.jpg 836w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-1-245x300.jpg 245w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-1-768x941.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-1-1254x1536.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-1-1672x2048.jpg 1672w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-1-800x980.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-1-1200x1470.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Mentre procedeva insieme ai suoi genitori verso il teatro per assistere al musical <em>Il re leone<\/em>, Cristina vide un ragazzino che giaceva su un cartone sul marciapiedi. Teneva una lattina nella mano affinch\u00e9 chiunque passasse davanti a lui gli desse qualche moneta. Accanto a lui su un altro cartone c\u2019era sua madre che appariva esausta. Teneva un cartellino con la scritta \u201cPer favore aiutateci\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sebbene tanta gente passasse di l\u00e0, nessuno si fermava ad aiutarli. Cristina provava compassione per il ragazzo e rifletteva, \u201cCom\u2019\u00e8 possibile che fra tutte queste persone che passano di qua, nessuna dia loro qualche monetina?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nessuno si fermava ad aiutarli. I passanti erano cos\u00ec presi dall\u2019entrare nei negozi per comprare regali che non s\u2019accorgevano del ragazzo e di sua madre sul marciapiedi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nel suo cuore Cristina sent\u00ec una voce che le diceva, \u201cFermati per un attimo e di\u2019 ai tuoi genitori di darti qualche moneta, e poi dalla al ragazzo. Stai spendendo molto denaro per assistere al musical e per comprare regali! Questo ragazzo e sua madre hanno bisogno d\u2019aiuto, e se vuoi, puoi aiiutarli\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A queste parole, lei ferm\u00f2 i suoi genitori e chiese loro qualche moneta e qualcosa da mangiare e da bere che avevano appena comprato per se stessi. Poi s\u2019accost\u00f2 al ragazzo e glieli porse. Gli occhi del ragazzo s\u2019illuminarono di gioia quando vide il cibo. Era tanto, tanto affamato. Era contentissimo che finalmente fra tutti quei passanti qualcuno si fosse fermato e avesse pensato a lui e a sua madre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sentendo il lieve tonfo con cui cadevano le monetine nella lattina, il ragazzo sorrise e le disse, \u201cChe Dio la benedica, che Dio la benedica!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A queste parole Cristina si commosse mentre gli occhi le si riempivano di lacrime. Avrebbe voluto fare una chiacchierata con il ragazzo, ma, proced\u00e9 oltre, non sapendo che cosa dirgli ed essendo costretta a entrare nel teatro per assistere al musical.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentre procedeva assieme ai genitori, diceva fra s\u00e9 e s\u00e9, \u201cCome mai che un ragazzo affamato e assetato che vivacchia sul marciapiedi con la madre mi dica \u2018Che Dio mi benedica\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cristina comprese che questo ragazzo apprezzava il denaro, il cibo e la bevanda che aveva ricevuto da lei. Questo piccolo gesto dalla ragazza significava molto per lui, perci\u00f2 la ringrazi\u00f2 e la benedisse pure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lei divenne conscia di quanto sperperasse il denaro dei suoi genitori su cose che non erano importanti, come quella volta che compr\u00f2 parecchi vestiti, giocattoli e un telefonino nuovo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cristina rimase cos\u00ec colpita dalle parole \u2018Dio ti benedica\u2019 che, dopo aver assistito al musical <em>Il re leone<\/em>, era ansiosa di comunicare ai suoi genitori una sua idea. Disse loro che invece di comprare vestiti dai grandi magazzini, a lei premeva comprare una giacca pesante e un sacco a pelo sia per il ragazzo sia per la madre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-836x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12419\" width=\"418\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-836x1024.jpg 836w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-245x300.jpg 245w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-768x941.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-1254x1536.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-1672x2048.jpg 1672w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-800x980.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sds.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/story-7-picture-4-1200x1470.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>E cos\u00ec fecero. Acquistarono le giacche e i sacchi a pelo, e andarono a trovarli. Appena furono arrivati, Cristina s\u2019accost\u00f2 al bambino, ebbe una chiacchierata con lui e gli chiese cosa volesse come regalo di Natale. LE DISSE, \u201cProprio ora ho bisogno di un paio di guanti, una sciarpa e un cappello di lana perch\u00e9 fuori si sente molto il freddo. Ho anche bisogno di ragazzo generoso come te che mi aiuti in qualunque modo\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quella notte, di nuovo in albergo, Cristina rimuginava le precarie condizioni in cui versava il ragazzo. Pensava di gente, specialmente bambini nel mondo, che sono senztetto. Per ragioni diverse, questi non hanno scelta se non di vivacchiare nelle strade in scatole di cartone&nbsp; nel freddo dell\u2019inverno o nell\u2019estate torrida, mentre lei viveva in una casa comoda insieme alla sua famglia. Prime di addormentarsi, recit\u00f2 una preghiera per lui e per coloro che non hanno dimora intorno al mondo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allora era diventata troppo coinvolta. Decise che una volta arrivata a Malta, avrebbe continuato ad aiutare un\u2019organizzazione che offre rifugio ai senzatetto offrendo il suo tempo a coloro che sono bisognosi. Facendo questa buona opera, lei darebbe il miglior regalo che si possa dare ai poveri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cristina ora vi chiede: Conoscete qualcuno che necessita d\u2019aiuto? Che cosa potete fare per aiutare bambini e grandi i quali, non come voi, sono senza dimora e devono vivere di stenti per la strada?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr
