We received a very special Christmas card from the student we sponsor in Fujian province. He is a third grader and lives at the school, as he has no parents and only his elderly grandmother. The card brought tears to my eyes. The right side message translates:The legend of Christmas Tree
Someone hosted a poor man on Christmas Eve. The poor man buried a branch from a tree on the ground and it became the Chrismas tree. The poor man gave his blessings to this tree and said, "I left this tree to repay your great kindness."

On the left, it translates to:
Wish you all Merry Christmas
Love,

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to get this special gift!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm catching up here - I love seeing your kids out on their bikes. I need to shove my kids out a bit more. It's not shorts weather but the warm sun is amazing here.
I love your house. I really wanted a ranch when we were looking for our house. But all the ranches around here that we saw were teeny tiny. Yay on the wood floors. I despise carpet. :)
I agree what a TREASURE!! Wow, so cool!
ReplyDeleteThe card is very special. It looks like spring is coming, the daffodils are beautiful.....we are still waiting for the weather to cool down.
