Tomorrow, Jan 22, my youngest son Jak-jak is turning 7 years old. It never ceases to amaze me how God has allowed me to watch my kids grow up and be a blessing to me and my wife each day (even when they are most annoying).
Jak-jak is such a sweet kid. Never a day passes that he does not say “I love you mom and dad”. Sometimes our exchange would go like this:
Jak-jak: I love you more, Dad.
Dad: I love you the mostest, Jak.
Jak-jak: I love you most of all!
When you ask him, who he loves the most, he would say, “Jesus, first, then my family second and my friends third).
Its such a wonder how Jak would put Jesus Christ first, somebody who he has never met in person, from whom he has never felt a hug and a kiss, over his loving parents. I’m not jealous of this but I am truly happy that he knows what faith is all about and I hope he continues on this journey as he grows up. My most favourite bible verses are when Jesus talks about children. Our faith should always be like Jak-jak’s faith, not blind faith but faith knowing that Jesus Christ loves us and will take care of us, just because!
Lord, thank you for the blessing of my son, Jak-jak, for allowing me to see how much You love us and how you want us to love You. Please continue to bless Jak-jak in his life, you know what he wants so please grant him his heart’s desire. In Your most mighty name I pray, Amen!
