Tra My’s parents and brother listen as the ten-year-old reads a Vietnamese translation of a birthday greeting she received from her World Vision sponsor.

Tra My is proud of the card, which not only celebrates her birthday, but inspires her to embrace the traditional nine virtues: love, peace, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self-control and gentleness.

2 Peter 1:5 “For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness...”

Find a way to show God’s goodness through your life.
