My sweet Celia really has a heart drawn to China- I know, I know it might sound like a stretch but let me just say every time we go to the library she looks for books with Asian children on the cover. She always picks out Asian girls and says "she's pretty mommy"...our dear friend Aimee grew up in Taiwan and has taught her to say "I love you" and "Jesus loves you." She always asks if people she sees at the park or in restaurants are Chinese....
Tonight while reading a book I finally said...
M: Celia, I notice that you are drawn so much to people who look quite different than you.
C: I know Mommy. I just love China people (working on that :))
M: Why is it that you love them so?
C: They have friendly eyes- I just want to talk to them.
....slow pause...
and they speak Spanish.
Really though I love it- I'm hoping maybe she'll want to travel there one day and win souls to Christ- just a little glimpse inside the mind of our eldest!

This is great! Hope God will continue to nurture her love for the "China" people.
