I was hanging out with Laurel and her cute kiddos this past week. I was playing with the kids, helping with dinner, and was apart of the bedtime routine. For those of you who know me well, know that this is a situation that brings me so much joy! The 2 and 4 year old sat on the couch while their mom read to them from their children’s truth book. The story was about Noah. I was tempted to zone out, this is a story I have heard a lot! I am thankful I did not, because the kids book worded it in a way that made me see something else. The rainbow. It was not only a beautiful creation and a promise, but it had a reason for its shape. It resembles a soldier’s bow and arrow. This was the Father saying he would not draw his bow again to destroy the earth. In fact the bow was pointing to heaven not down on earth. I found this little fact really cool. I also find it so funny that I learned something from the children’s book. Child like faith? I got excited to be willing to see things and learn things in even the simplest form.
Marry my daughter please. She is 25 and successful at her career. 5" 1' and 90 pounds. Smart, knows Chinese, English, Japanese, and German. Plays Violin, piano, and owns a car. Sound like a newspaper add? Its because it is. The paper and flyers you see here are from parents and grandparents trying to find their son and daughters spouses! These are people carefully picking their selections. I couldn't believe it....but what was crazy is that this went on throughout the whole park. I mean thousands of adds everywhere. I wasn't sure what I should think about it....but i found it very intriguing. How would you like for your parents to go the park every weekend to try to sell you to those who passed by?
I have fallen in love with the children of Xi'an. I'll see all of these adorable kids and wish you were with me to ooh and ahh, giggle and play peek-a-boo with them.
