  • Letter 2 You encouraged us.

    Dear Isaac
     
    Congratulations, on 26 March 2009 you are free of nappies.
     
    I told daddy the night before to put your nappy back on just in case you wet your bed and for me to check in the middle of the night when exactly you tend to wet your nappy so that I will know how to train you.
     
    But to our surprise, you took your nappy off before I came in to say good nite. You said you don't want the nappy.
     
    I am touched by your courage so I decided to support you. I checked you at 1:00 am. It was dry. I checked again at 5:00 am and it was dry. I checked again at 7:30 am and it was dry.
     
    Thank God and you told me you prayed about it too. God answered your prayer, you were completely dry for the whole night and you didn't wet your bed, you went to the potty when you got up in the morning.
     
    Son, I admire your courage and you encouraged us as parents.
     
    Remember, there will be a lot of challenges ahead and there may be difficult ones to tackle but don't worry as long as  you don't give up (like what you did with the puzzles this morning) and you put your trust in God, you will surely succeed.
     
    love you always
    Mum
  • I am so proud of you - letter to Isaac 1

    Dear Isaac
     
    I have been toilet training mui mui for the past two weeks. Mui mui often wet the floor and her pants. A couple of days ago when you saw the wet pants in the sink,  you asked me what they were. Then you said: " I will help mui mui wash the pants." I asked if you were worried that they were pretty dirty. You answered no and started rinsing the pants under water.
     
    Son, you are just great, so lovely and so cute to your little sister. Yet you are only 3.

  • Mum, don't leave

    Since we have been talking quite a lot about going to where God is (heaven) Isaac has this weird thought.

    He has been whinging a bit whenever I put him to bed, he kept asking me why do I have to close the door, what are you going to do after you said goodnite to me, etc.

    Until one afternoon, he said: " Mamee I am a little unhappy, I don't want you to leave the room, I don't want you to go to God."

    oh, is that what he thought, I am leaving. Ai ya......

    No no, I am not going to God yet, although I don't know when I will be going, but I can assure you, you will be well taken care of even if I do go and I will see you there.

  • Isaac asked for Wisdom

    After his conversion, we had a shower together.

    I told him the story of Solomon and the two women with the baby.

    One day, God asked Solomon what he wanted as a gift, do you know what he wanted.

    I: A helicopter, a bus a truck.

    M: No, that's not what he wanted, he asked for wisdom. Wisdom is something like cleverness but a bit more than that. Wisdom is to know what God wants us to do and to do it right. Its much much better than toys.

    One day two women came to see Solomon with a baby. They both claimed that the baby belonged to them. So Solomon thought for a little while and told them to cut the baby in half so they can have half each.

    I: You can't cut a baby, the baby will break.

    M: Good boy but let me continue.

    So one woman said don't cut the baby just give the baby to this other lady then.

    M: (without expecting an answer) after this Solomon was able to distinguish who the baby's mum is. Who do you think is the baby's mum?

    I: The one who said not to cut the baby coz a baby cannot be cut.

    M: Good boy, yes, that's the baby's mum coz she loves the baby so much that she doesn't want to cut the baby in half.

    Knowing God is the beginning of wisdom.

    Pray that Isaac will continue to be blessed with God's wisdom.

  • Isaac became a Christian - full report

    Whilst Hei hei was doing his normal business in the toilet and I was washing the dishes, he started the most important conversation that changed his life.

    Isaac asked: Mum! why do I have 2 legs and a spider has 8.

    Mum said: Because God created you this way. You are human and a spider is an insect (!!)

    I: Did God put me together like puzzles?

    M: Yes.

    I Does GOd have ears?

    M Yes, you know why. If he doesn't have ears, how can he hear.....what?

    I My prayers. (Good on him)

    I: Is God really good at playing puzzles, like me?

    M: Yes.

    I Am I better than Jesus then?

    M: No, of course not.

    I: Why?

    M: Coz Jesus is the best. He has never done one naughty thing.

    I Why?

    M Coz Jesus is all perfect.

    I Why is Jesus in my heart and yet I can't see him?

    M: Because Jesus is ...... (I can't say he is not human but you know it's just getting harder and harder to explain) human as well as God. (not sure if he understands) and he can be everywhere.

    I: Huh??

    M: Jesus and God is the same, they can be everywhere. Like Jesus is with you when you sleep in your room and Jesus is also with Mamee when I wash the dishes downstairs.

    I: Wow

    M: Yes Jesus and God is very powerful. They can be everywhere and they can do anything.

    I: So is Jesus in Hk with por por?

    M: Yes of course, he can be with anyone and everyone.

    Things are getting more and more interesting so I decided to go and chat with him in the toilet about salvation.

    M: Let mamee tell you why Jesus came to this world.

    I: OK

    M: We all have done some bad things, we have been naughty, just like you, you sometimes do naughty things, when mamee said no, you continue and make me angry, right?

    I: Yes,

    M: So God punishes all those people who are naughty and puts us to an unhappy place.

    You should see the look on his face. :(

    M: but because God loves us soooooooooo much that he sent his only son Jesus to save us. Remember how I said Jesus is perfect and he has never done anything wrong. He replaced us for the punishment. Although he hasn't done anything wrong, he took the punishment for us.

    I: .....

    M: Do you understand? Just like when you are naughty and I was going to punish you but because mui mui loves you so much, she asked me to punish her instead so you don't get punished.

    I Yes

    M: So God punished Jesus but because Jesus is a good boy, God make him happy again and so if you believe in Jesus we won't be punished. Do you want to believe in Jesus? That is do you want to listen to Jesus and be a good boy from  now on. Listen to Jesus and do good things and not naughty things. Do what is pleasing to Jesus.

    I YES (I was so happy to hear that)

    M Then you won't need to go to the unhappy place and you can go to where God is.

    I then wiped his little bum and hugged him.

    We then prayed together as he repeated after me with his conversion prayer.

    Then we ring David to tell him. I told him everything and when I had finished. Isaac added:

    I: You haven't mentioned about the CROSS.

    M: What? Do you know about the cross, you know that the cross has something to do with it.

    I (Giggled) yes.

    I was so amazed that he could associate the cross with salvation so I explained that the naughty people put Jesus on the Cross and hurt him and finally God saved him and put him to life again.

    I then told him his mission to tell people about Jesus coz he began to ask if this this or this person will go to heaven. I said if he wants anyone to go to heaven he will have to tell them about Jesus.

    I: Is porpor going?

    M: She will go if you tell her about Jesus when you go back to Hk in November.

    I: So I will tell uncle Jason as well.

    M: YES (he is just so smart)

    I couldn't stop smiling and laughing coz i was super delighted that he had accepted Christ.

    As we prepared for afternoon nap Isaac added: Is there bread when God is?

    I: Yes (hahahah this seems to be his primarily concern as he now has a destination to go one day)

    I am sure God is pleased with such innocent faith from a child.
