A story about a young girl named Liyah who learns the importance of charity and honesty through a series of challenges at her church.
Liyah was excited to go to church. She loved singing and playing with her friends. Today, her church was collecting toys for children who didn't have any. Liyah wanted to donate her favorite teddy bear, but she felt a bit sad. 'What if I miss my teddy bear?' she wondered.
At the church, Liyah saw a big box for toy donations. She took a deep breath and walked towards it. But then she stopped. 'I can't do it,' Liyah whispered. Her friend Sarah saw her and asked, 'What's wrong, Liyah?'
'I want to help, but I love my teddy bear too much,' Liyah said. Sarah nodded and said, 'It's hard to give away something you love.' Liyah thought about other children who had no toys. But giving up her teddy seemed too hard.
Liyah felt overwhelmed and almost gave up. 'Maybe I should keep my teddy bear,' she thought. She walked away from the donation box, feeling sad. 'Why is this so hard?' she wondered. Liyah sat down on a pew, feeling defeated.
Just then, Pastor John walked over. 'What's troubling you, Liyah?' he asked kindly. Liyah explained her problem. Pastor John smiled and said, 'Giving with love is the best kind of gift. Imagine the joy your teddy bear will bring to another child.'
Liyah thought about what Pastor John said. She took a deep breath and walked back to the donation box. 'I can do this,' she said to herself. She placed her teddy bear in the box. 'Goodbye, teddy,' Liyah whispered. She felt happy knowing she made another child smile.
