The naughty little Ones

a short one.

chinese school was fun! the kids were really really crazy- and im not exaggerating. ashley concluded that their parents have been feeding them too many CNY goodies, hence the glucose rush. class 1,2,3 were uncontrollable! usually, its just 3 boys who have some sort of attention defecit and are really rascals, but today, even the girls couldnt sit still. everyone was so naughty! joseph, vince and weiyao has to literally "hug" one/2 boys each to prevent them from running about. hilarious sight. at break, i had 5 boys running after me, thinking i was playing catching with them, i had them yelling names at me, and whacking my butt?!? after a while, i gave up n started playing with them. haha it was good fun! kids... they are just so innocent. their energy levels amaze me...

but the little one that made my day, was yvonne.
a seemingly quiet, yet playful girl; she sat beside me during class and tried to listen to joseph telling the parable of the paralytic. her first question was, "what's a phrase?"-uhuh, random! and then, she slowly warmed up and asked me," who's jesus?is jesus a girl?"- haha!
"so, Jesus died and rose again?"- pointing upwards.
" so, jesus is God, and all the others are false?"-- i said yes, with much conviction. she didnt doubt, she didnt question further. she just nodded.
"my cheeks are sore..."- i told her she could ask jesus to heal them, because He can do anything she asks for.
"so how can i talk to jesus?"- awwww.

my heart really was melted by her sweetness. her eyes were filled with wonder, and curiosity and innocence. it just makes me want to give her a great big cuddle and love her.
how sweet and beautiful children are.. so untainted by the vices and ugliness of this world. they ought to be chershed and loved so tenderly, and nurtured in the way of the Lord. I love kids:) i love them, they are so so so adorable and lovely!
i truly pray she will find her way to Christ when she grows older. and dear Lord, please heal her sore cheeks! and dear Lord, please take care of all the little ones and meet them in their little world.
Dear Lord, help us to receive your love like children, may it be the biggest love we will ever know.

Luke 18:16-17
" Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little children will never enter it."
