Is Jesus In My Heart?

Last night as Dan and I were putting Jedi to sleep, we were reflecting on the things that he had done in the day. We had just finsihed praying for him as well. Suddenly he asked us:

"If I cry alot, will Jesus still be in my heart?"

Thinking this was a great opportunity to tell him more about God at his level, we said:

" Yes! Jesus will always be in your heart whether you cry or laugh, whether you are naughty or good. That's how much He loves you."

A meditative silence from Jedi....

I thought it might be helpful to expound on it so I asked Jedi:

" Jedi, your cough is all better now. Do you know who has healed you?"

Jedi shook his head.

" Jesus!"

I went on to ask:

"Jedi you have grown so strong and tall too! Do you know who has helped you?"

Jedi's answer: "Carrots and vegetables!"

Dan and I collapsed into a fit of laughter. Jedi wasn't trying to be cheeky. He was answering honestly from all that he understood about life as a three and a half year old!

Krisalyn's 2nd Birthday!

Our little girl turned 2 on the 7th of Jan this year! Had a small celebration with family and some church friends at our humble abode on 4th Jan. Krisa was thrilled with her Hello Kitty birthday cake and was impatient for a slice to eat. She was a good sport and didn't mind not having had the chance to blow her candles which were puffed out by her cousins and Kor Kor! Thanks everybody for coming and the lovely presents for her. Wished my parents could have been there to celebrate with thier grandaughter too but they sent their well-wishes from Down Under.

Daddy being the thoughtful one bought a little piece of birthday cake for Krisa on her actual day and we had another mini celebration ...just the four of us. Jedi had a slice of cake too so he could enjoy and celebrate his Mei Mei's birthday!

Krisa, Daddy and Mummy pray that you will grow in the grace and beauty of the Lord and learn to walk closely with Him all the days of your life. We are blessed that He has given us the chance to be your parents and to look after you. We love you sweetie pie!
