When I re-entered the room, I was surprised that AS was still awake.
"What took you so long mom?" He inquired.
I said that I prepared the food items for tomorrow's marketing, salary for house helpers, as well as sorting out bills ( I enumerated them one by one : Electricity, water, telephone, cable and other papers for filing as if to justify my being away 😁).
Then AS proudly blurted out: "We're rich right?"
I told him "Not really (as what the world defines rich) but Dad works hard and God is the one providing for our needs. What we have is enough; it is just right.
Sometimes when I find that we don't have enough, as we trust God, something amazing will happen and we will have enough!
Remember the story I told last Sunday? About how Elijah was worried how he will eat and drink, but as he obeyed God, God provided the brook for him to drink and bread and meat delivered to him by birds. (1 Kings 16:29 -17:6) Amazing right?"
AS: "Can you tell me more about God?"
Wow, I praise God for teaching moments like this. 😊
I was the teacher last Sunday. Even though I prepared well, I still do not have control over my students. Last Sunday was one such "uncontrollable" situation. I felt my lesson fell on deaf ears. But that is to show me that God is in control; He IS in the business of transforming lives not me. I only need to obey and surrender to Him.
Now I see that the lesson was not for naught as He used it again tonight to speak to my son's heart.
