Just another day...

It is weird being in China. Today is just another day in China. No big deal. All the stores are opened. There is Christmas music, but mostly because it sells items. I feel so fortunate to know that there is something better than just this life. Something bigger. Something we can look forward to! Something better than anything we will open under our trees this Christmas or next Christmas. Thank you, God. Thank you for the gift of your son. I am humbled to know how much you gave and how I did nothing to deserve your precious gift. Thank you, God and Happy Birthday, Jesus

Hi, Mary Beth! Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year from the Bonnins. I couldn't help but notice that your thoughtful Christmas post was a little melancholy and homesick. Always keep before your boys the "reason for the season." Don't you think the Chinese are missing out on the grandest thing on earth?
We'll be so glad to have you back in a few months.
Love, Gretchen

Yes, I guess I am a little homesick. And yes, anyone that doesn't know the real reason for the season is truly missing out!
