A Simple Gift that Means the World



Listening to the world news over the last day was leaving a nasty taste in my mouth. 
Uncertainty, violence, mayhem, indecision.

Today's post delivered my Christmas surprise from the young child we sponsor in Sri Lanka through World Vision. P has been part of my family's lives for six years. His simple yet beautiful greeting for Christmas reduced me to tears. Not tears of sadness, rather tears of happiness.
I've never met P but like to imagine that I will travel to Sri Lanka one day, maybe for his high school graduation! P wishes to become a teacher.
The people represented here are his family of seven. P is the one rocking the yellow pants and green shirt.

Joy.


Sometimes it's the little treasures which have the power to put a smile back on our face.
