TOP MAN TIME.

Our first.

As a family.

Animal devotion book was used.

Adventure bible was deployed.

Everything was going smoothly.

It was about giving thanks for your family.

We tell each other why we like each other.

Maoster said Aung is patient and helpful.
Moster said Mom is funny and also helpful.
Mom said Aung is patient and kind.
Mom said Maoster is kind and a great brother.
Dad said I LOVE YOU MAO MAO AND MUMMY. He sorta didn't follow the rules but it's fine.

Then.........our conversations turned to prayers.

I told Maoster that God communicates to us through prayers. He asked what does that mean - COMMUNICATION.

I said it's God talking or speaking to us.

Maoster's eyes grew bigger. He said, " I prayed for Mylo. That he will be okay. But GOD never REPLIES. But Mylo turns out okay. But I never hear HIM talk. Like telephone talk."

Aung was excited. He answered like he was the only boy in class that knew the answer.....

"Oh, God only talk to very few special people. Like ..... Moses you know?"

Maoster turned quiet.... his eyes turned red....... he begin to tear quietly....... and muttered...." I AM NOT SPECIAL TO GOD....."

And that's how the cookie crumbled.

Aung quickly explained what he meant - in the old testament.. bleah bleah bleah.... it was hilarious to me.... I tried not to laugh cos Aung was in a panic..... like oh man, I have not conveyed the words of God correctly....like an ill-trained shepherd trying to care for the lamb.

I think I will always remember our first family devotion time.
