Tangrams

     Riel, my 8 years old son, made this short story book using Tangrams.    It was about the animals' journey to find a new land. I was touched when I read his story because the king (lion) reminded me of Jesus. In their journey, the king promised them that they will find the good land no matter how many hardships they encounter. Their journey lasted for 40 days and 40 nights and they were surprised to find the king on top of the mountain he called 'Mount Crescendo'.  The king said he never left them and that he was always watching them. Riel's last line in the story was: "When it's with the king, there is joy".

      I hugged him after I read the story and he said he was really thinking of Jesus when he wrote it.:-)

Faithfulness

     Our topic last week was very timely: FAITHFULNESS. I guess the Lord was preparing the kids for the actual visual reinforcement and application part through the heavy rains/flood. We live just a few meters away from the Markina River and at 23 meters high, the water should have entered our street but it didn't. It was certainly a miracle and we are thankful for the Lord's favor and protection. For 3 days, we have been praying and we sang this song over and over again...

"Your Name is a strong and mighty tower
Your Name is a shelter like no other
Your Name, let the nations sing it louder
'Cause nothing has the power to save
But Your Name"

Thank you Jesus!
Psalm 46:10 (ISV) - "Be in awe (be still) and know that I am God"
