Janesha Learned Generosity Through Superbook
In a village in Indonesia, a bright and cheerful 10-year-old girl named Janesha comes from a family deeply rooted in education and service. Her mother, a Sunday school teacher, actively incorporates the Superbook Academy curriculum from CBN into her lessons, instilling strong Christian values in her students.
Janesha’s parents have noticed a concerning trait in their daughter, despite her sunny disposition. Janesha is shy and struggles with sharing her belongings with friends. Her mother hopes that Janesha will grow to be more caring and generous.
One pivotal Sunday, Janesha and her friends watched an episode of Superbook titled “The Good Samaritan.” The story of the Good Samaritan, who selflessly helped a stranger in need, left a profound impact on Janesha. She learned that acts of kindness are a reflection of God’s love and that helping others is a noble and rewarding endeavor.
A few weeks after watching the episode, Janesha’s newfound understanding of generosity became apparent in her actions. One day, while at home, she surprised her family with an unexpected gesture. Janesha ran to her room and returned with a pair of her own pants. When her parents inquired about her intentions, Janesha explained, “I want to give these pants to Kalina.” Janesha’s friend, Kalina, frequently wore torn pants. Janesha’s innocent yet profound statement, “I feel sorry for Kalina. We should help others when they are in need, just like the Good Samaritan,” touched her parents deeply.
Janesha’s transformation from a shy and reserved child to one who actively seeks to help others is a testament to the power of storytelling. The Superbook episode “The Good Samaritan”—available on the CBN family app—not only entertained but also educated, leaving a lasting impression on Janesha’s young mind.
