6 Banyan Temple

After our Consulate appointment, we went to one of the oldest Temples in
China. It was very beautiful. When I went there with my other two
babies, I had the opportunity to have them blessed. I was happy to have
been given the opportunity to have Madison blessed today as well. One
can always use more blessings, right? I was very moved by the ceremony
as well as a service that we watched earlier in the day. There is
something calming about the chants of the monks. Once we are home, I
will have Madison Christened by our priest and she will be raised a
Christian, but this is a tradition in China, one I felt moved to do for
her.
