Kids

Today was meaningful as we spent an hour praying through Ps 63 together as a congregation. It's not often that we pray as a Body to lay hold of God together. It was quite awesome to see the whole entire Hall 10 filled to the brim. Can you imagine when we praise the Lord together and worship Him in Heaven? That would be a beautiful sight!

We visited Uncle in hospital after service and sad to say, he lost his little last right toe to Diabetes. But his spirit was good so we were not so discouraged. Poor man, he has been fighting this battle for almost 3 months. Hopefully he will be discharged soon.

After the hospital visit, the 4 of us had yummy waffle & ice cream at Gelare in Siglap. It was a good time of chatting about our 2nd half in life, the kids in our midst and especially, how kids in our day and age should be disciplined and brought up in the fear and authority of the Lord.

More than just being concerned for the children, my heart has been crying out that the Lord will speak to the parents in order to teach and instruct their kids God-ward. In many scenarios, we really cannot blame the children for being ill-disciplined or even rebellious. The parents have not taught and modeled for them or have not been good examples for them to follow. Having said that, is there a place where the community can come in to speak into the lives of the parents or children? Is that where God wants us to influence and keep our own families in tact before we can go out to make an impact in the world? My heart is deeply grieved .... sigh.
