3 Years ago today a little girl was born in a village the Jiangxi Province of China. The morning she was born she was placed in an apple box and abondoned at the gate of the Civil Affairs building in the town of Yong Feng. Whoever decided to leave her there, perhaps her mother but more likely another relative, included in the box a small red tear-off note that identified her birthday at September 10, 2005. Red is a sign of 'good luck' in Chinese culture.
Today that little girl has become an essential member of our family. The joy and blessing she has brought to us is way more than the word 'luck' can convey. She is a true blessing and a gift from God. And that little girl, Ming Mei, has a new bike for her 3rd birthday.
