yesterday once more

Yesterday, Jeff had taken leave to celebrate my delivery of jere 6 years ago! I am very thankful to God for giving my these little ones to adore and learn.

We started the day at east coast Mac Donald then to Tampines for Wall-E. Bought popcorn and coke and the cost was $32!!! After the show, we led Jere to pick his birthday cake and then to Toysrus to pick a gift! Well...little Khloe also get a gift from daddy. All were happy except our pockets. We took them home and told them to nap, woke them up at 4pm and allowed them to play with their new toys. That evening, we met up with oldies and went to Chinese Garden once more..the last time was 4 years ago! Bought them laterns and some blown up toys at the fair. The most unforgetable for Jere was the ball thingy. And that the story I want to share or rather is the highlight of the day.

He saw the floating ball...I know fear was in his heart...I nudged him and told him to try! It was $3 per child. We suggested Gloria to join in too. Off they went. Jere had a great time trying to balance and run inside the ball while on the water... except that Gloria was having some problems balancing herself. The teaching point was obedience, I told jere. He was shocked that I could read him so well. After the game, I took him aside and said that this $3 is very wekk spent. Ealier that day, he was upset that I had refused to pay her a $4 treat into those jumping float at Tampines pasa malam. I told him that $4 is not worth the try...besides nothing great to jump in such a mini float. I told him to pray and tell God how much he wants the ride. I pointed to him that God hears you coz we both love God. His reponse to God had led us to Chinese Garden and into the fair and into the floating ball. I told him that if he chosen to walk away from the pasa Malam feeling bitter and sour...God will not let you go with such an attitude. He agreed that God loves him and a undivided obedience to parents is important in pleasing God. Praise God.

Today, I was tried again. He pleaded to get a BEN 10 toy which cost $10. just a figurine...no big deal....then as O was trying to convince him not to get the toy, I realised that I had been acceptable to monsters. That might explain why he had nightmares. Also we talked anout hidden sin and lukewarmnesss and also being compromising to wrongs. To cut the story short...my prayers were all answered yesterday and today. I had asked God to help me teach Jere the importance of loving God unconditionally .....ASk me for more details if you would like to hear...(yawnn...)
