JESUS I BLESS YOU
MKC, as always, never fails to put a smile on my face.
i guess children just give me so much joy i dont know what i'll do without them. seeing them for so long, i cant help but get so attached and in love with them. no matter how naughty and irritating and attention seeking some may get, when you love them with the love of God you tend to look at them in a different light, how God looks upon them as his precious children. and its beautiful when even the most unsuspecting kids get touched by the grace of God and you just see such a great transformation in their attitude, and i choose to believe it is God, using us mkc leaders as His vessels and touching the children.
and it makes me so happy im part of it. <3
today the new programme was started.
and dicky's team started off [im in dickys team]
so we went to 'test water' and guess what,
we decided we could jump right in.
apart from some minor things to sort out, i think we started great.
with the two rules of 1.raising hand to ask permission and 2.the quiet sign thing the ground was laid and we had a short game of scissors paper stone sticks
and we went into praise and worship.
where auntie steph and i kept like forgetting out actions and getting so tired out, but the kids responded and were dancing and singing along with us.
omgosh how sweet they sound :DDD
then was the teaching part and dicky did object lesson with all them tools.
like, all the tools made were meant for a purpose and you cant use a hammer as a measuring tape or a screwdriver as a hammer all.
so our purpose in life is to worship God,
and here i came out in army suit (helmet was damn heavy sia) and go,
joanne: 'im ready im ready sir mam sir sir.'
dicky: 'ready for what? and im not a mam.'
joanne: 'but you're wearing pink! anyway yeah im ready for WAR SHIP, like go and fighting fighting in the war ship'
dicky: 'what war? what ship? did i say anything about war? kids, is there war in singapore?'
joanne: 'no war? then why when they were singing they raise up their hands? like surrender like that.'
dicky: 'ohh, thats WORSHIP, they were worshipping Jesus!'
joanne: 'worship?'
dicky: 'yeah! and you're just in time cause im about to tell the children that they're invited to a party!'
joanne: 'party? oh yay party party party, can i go can i go?'
dicky: 'yeah sure, everything that has breath can go to God's praise party!'
joanne: (checks breath) 'okay i can breathe so i can go? YAY!! okay ah mam sir i'll go get ready and i'll be back!' (recruit exits)
dicky: 'haiyoh how many times must i tell her that im not a mam? that recruit must be new ah.. [and talks about how when we worship we should be focused on God and not let other things distract us]'
joanne: (comes back carrying a phone, tin of biscuits and fan) 'im ready sir!'
dicky: 'what in the blue world are you carrying?'
joanne: ' oh this? see right, this phone here is for when im bored during the party i can call my friends, when i dance and get hungry i can eat and when i get hot i can fan myself!'
dicky: 'no no no, you got it all wrong. i jsut told the kids when we worship we gotta not get distracted by other stuff and just focus on God, so you, take all these things back, and when you are truely ready, you some back here. okay?'
joanne: 'yes mam!'
then was the mary and martha part where they laugh even more.
i just hope that amidst the laughter, they undertand them message behind the actings.
argh kids laugh so easily. :))
