Day # 1

A day of touring, the typical...Great Wall and Temple of Heaven.
We had the pleasure of blue skies in Beijing- a rarity,  and flowers from National Holiday. we were also touring on a Saturday, so many of the families were out with their children. they told us that one of the roads we had just vacated was being closed for a bike race this afternoon (just like Farmersville)  but in China there is no advanced warning of "traffic control"
This evening we found a small restaurant near the hotel...they served frogs legs and large intestines, but we stuck with noodles and kung pao chicken...we couldn't eat all of it..the next time we order just one dish.
Off to bed and then more touring in the AM I probably won't get to post again till just before we meet Shekinah...prayers please for the child who is about to have her life turned upside down and for the new/old mama...and the niece who is about to witness this whole adoption proceedings

  2. Prayers for your day, friend, and for this new little one who cannot yet understand what is happening to her world. Prayers for the niece who will see and ache as well, and for the night that will follow this up and down day. I write this at 1:30am EST, thinking of you on the sunny side of the world. Thankful that God's love wraps the whole way round. Peace be with you.
