When I am afraid ...

Long time no blog. This is a long overdue post. I had been bringing my kids and family to a church near to my house, on and off, a few times.  Each time also gave me good impression, many things to chew on, and some inner strength. Guess when time and schedule permits, we would be going there more often.

I remember the very first time, when I was with my younger son Lincoln in the younger kids class, I learnt about golden verse like "When I am afraid, I put my TRUST in You" from Psalm. Also, the Parable of Sower from Matthew, about the seed growing on different level of soil (faith) and how the environment affect the growing of the seed into a plant.  The teachings and sharing by the teenage leader, and some young teacher, are simply truthful from their heart, and inspiring.  I had learnt about those teachings when since young (I went to a Christian Primary school, and a Catholic Secondary school, even took Bible Studies in my O-Level exam, and got an distinction), but never had thought about the meanings behind are so deep.  Yet, can be explained to kids in an interesting manner that you will feel amazed on the kids response :)

Today, the topic was on "Hope", and "Faith" which are quite abstract concept and not easy to explain, but the young teachers were able to pull it through. When I was watching one video being shown to this combined class comprises of Pri3 onwards kids, my eyes were moisted.  The simple cartoon was from Korea. http://youtu.be/Kusgx612VMs

 

Please have a look if you have few minutes to spare.  You will feel much relieved that it has been all worth the wait, and the 'hard work'.  Now I know why people are crazy about K-Drama. The song and video is simply touching, and certainly has created a huge impact on me.  I had taken the above photo on one Saturday morning after slight drizzling in the East Coast Park near my home.  Now I know why I had taken the foot print.  It must have been about the footprint in the sand poem by Mary Stevenson.  The one set of foot print is when God was carrying us, when we were down, during our most trying periods.

Towards the end of this morning Sunday class, I was pleasantly surprised that the closing was about the book "Heaven is for Real" that the young teacher read recently, on the little boy Colton's short stay in Heaven for just about 3 minutes, and come back to tell his story.  My two lovely sons though have not read the book, shouted that they knew about the story (as I had downloaded the iPhone App before, and they must have been reading it many times).  Grin.  Do have a look at my other blogpost, when I reviewed about this interesting Heaven is for Real book.  It was a fun read.  Have a good week ahead folks!! Talk later.
