GuoHua turned 12 in June

We sent a couple of packages to GuoHua. My favorite was a book called on the Night You Were Born by Nancy Tillman (2006:Darling Press). A dear friend translated this into Chinese and then we sent it off for her birthday on June 7. The book starts…

On the night you were born,
The moon smiled with such wonder
That the stars peeked in to see you
and the night wind whispered,
“Life will never be the same.”
Because there had never been anyone like you
ever in the world.

This just sent my mind thinking about the preciousness of every child created to reflect the glory of God. Every one cherished by the Father. I do pray that the wonder and truth of her value will truly fill her heart one day as she comes to understand Him.
