He's my latest favourite kiddo at church... he gives me a cheeky grin and smile whenever he sees me and not forgetting a Big hug too.. hehe... He's the son of our dearest then youth leader-Hua Ken, the assistant Pastor of our church now....Elliot's mum aka Ju nyung is a korean..thus explains why Elliot's soooo adorable, so fair and lovely... he speaks english with an acent (cos of the Barney videos that he watch almost every other day), chinese quite well too (cos of staying in C-hina since he was born till now) and of cos Korean (cos his mummy teaches him Korean)...
hahah he's sooo cute that I cant resist not playing with him.... the other day he actually asked his mum and dad if he can go back to his C-hina's hse...to which his parents replied: "no...C-hina's house old and spoilt already..and we are in sg now..so got to buy new house" and Elliot's reply was "then can we go to the supermarket to buy a new house"
hahah How Sweet and cute is that?? Innocence of a child... well.. it got me thinking of what Jesus said in Matthew 18:3-6, where having a faith like a child (innocent and humble) will enter the Kingdom of God...where should anyone stumbles a child and causes a child to sin, it was a truly a great sin....
got me to think of the many parents, adults i see...where their actions sends the wrong messages to children.. they do not practise what they preach and worst...they do nasty and evil things to children...Read in the papers yesterday that a man who was a family friend raped a young girl for the past 8 years..since the girl was 8 years old til recently...goodness... can you imagine the amount of trauma the girl went through? a trusted family friend who betrayed the trust of the family, and worst still..did a nasty thing to a little one...
The girl from what i read in the papers engages in self mutilation, leading a promiscious lifestyle and is currently seeing a psychologist..but the dr says.. that the emotional trauma and things she went thru is too deep seated that it might take years of therapy or maybe never to have her 'cured'... that she might even develop some form of personality disorder in future.... a pity and sorrow thing that something like that could happen to a little one and causing her to grow up hating the world she lives in....
As the world turns more upside down day by day..I am reminded daily that I have a responsibility to pray...to pray for Light to shine in the midst of a dark dark world...I am reminded that I am also responsible in my daily life to be Holy and not stumble anyone else, anyone who is big, small, young or old.....
