more than we deserve: This will bless your heart.

Remember the post about the boy that wanted a million Christmas cards as his last Christmas wish? Well, my kids each made him a card, and we emailed their teachers to share the idea too. Owen’s class made their cards, and he brought them home to mail yesterday. Just a few minutes ago, I was looking through them, reading what the kids had written. I had to share them with you. You’ll laugh and cry.

I hope you enjoy these cards. My name is Jen.

These two above are the same card, the front and then the message inside. I love how they relate to Nate’s situation, and I know that this is meant to be a high compliment.

Smell the light green what? Marker? Only a kid would include an instruction to sniff the card.

A large amount of the kid’s cards were directed toward spiritual issues. It is interesting to see where each of them place the emphasis. On a light note, at least she didn’t say “but if your not, too bad for you.”

Another student’s attempt to relate. Oh, what lessons we can learn from the tender heart of these kids!

This is my most favorite. I’ll read it to you so you don’t miss it.

“If your not a Christian say what I sayed: Dear Lord I give all my sins to you to wash them away. I’m sorry for all I have done, I ask you to come into my heart.

Then you’ll be a Christian

And also believe in him that he gave his only son so that people can have a chance to Heaven.

Jesus loves You!!!”

I don’t know about you, but this blesses and breaks my heart at the same time.
