January 2008
Yesterday at the mission, I was teaching the Bengali ladies and one silky haired little girl named Showley gave me a beautiful moment and memory. She drew me a picture with some of my favorite colors. I told her "I love it, you are so sweet, and you have such beautiful bracelets!"
We smiled and I carried on teaching. After class, I noticed my picture was crumpled. I opened it and saw eight little black bands. She had given me most of her bracelets! I was shocked. How sweet: a gift from a child. A simple yet profound gift.
Showley loved her little bracelets and wanted to show her love for me. This love is like God's love for us. He gave us his most precious gift-- his Son! Merry Christmas!!
