Can You Guess What We Did Today?

It is Sunday here in China and can you guess where we were?  You guessed it…church!  Nothing thrills JT more than finding a church when we are on vacation.  We found Christ’s Church right across the street from our hotel.  Several of the families from our group attended worship together today.  Today was very special though because we took Will Hudson to his first church service.  He did such a good job as we kept him occupied with stickers, jellybellys, suckers, and gum.  He also played airplanes with his friend, Josh.  Church lasted for over an hour and a half.  The service was conducted in both Mandarin and English.  We sang two songs in English.  Isn’t it crazy how some the simplest songs can have the most profound meaning.  The first song was so appropriate, Heavenly Father, We Appreciate You.  Jason and I were both moved to tears as we sang the next song, Beautiful.  Thinking about the beautiful little boy the Lord has given us.

Beautiful, beautiful
Jesus is beautiful
And Jesus makes beautiful
Things of my life.
Carefully touching me
Causing my eyes to see
And Jesus makes beautiful
Things of my life.

As you worship halfway round the globe, please know that we are thanking God for each of you!  May He continue to make beautiful things of your life.
