Check out this sweet video of a man giving an orphan a doll, and the little girl cannot contain her excitement.
Bilal Erkus was at an orphanage in Nigeria, and he was playing with a little girl named Bedel. He had brought a surprise for her, and he asked her to close her eyes before the big reveal.
When Bedel opens her eyes and sees that the gift Bilal was giving her was a brand-new doll, she couldn’t contain her excitement! A big grin flashes across her face, and she grabs the doll and brings it in for a tight hug. The little girl then starts giggling uncontrollably and it is just the sweetest sound ever!
What a priceless reaction! And what a sweet moment shared between Bedel and Bilal. I’m sure it will be a memory that the two always cherish.
May we always look out for the orphans and widows of this world, and show them the love and compassion of Jesus.
James 1:22-27
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do. 26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
