Trading tradition

Looking back at this trading album brings very nostagic feelings.... They literally grow up before my eyes! It all started with stars chart for the younger ones .... I still remember vividly how they fought for a fake poop!!!!  Crying commotion was part of these events then.... We continued despite of those whining . We wanted to teach them the value of delay gratification, hard work and generosity. This tradition involves the whole family and it is gratifying to see how they 'work' hard for the things they 'want' like books, crafts, stationary n toys. One day, we shall look back at these pictures with joy and choked back tears!

The size of blessings for ven is huge!

This mummy feels extremely defeated and drained handling this vivacious chilli padi. I know the size of blessing will be huge for her when I see the magnitude of the battle I'm fighting everyday. She humbles me and throws me a curve ball literally everyday. Both of us will grow stronger and wiser in due time. But before we head this direction, I need more and more divine help. I can't do this alone! Pray for us!!!

Let hope abounds in me again

Father ,  wrap me in your love and grace!

Surpasses mummy at such a young age!

Now this princess is into sewing!! She learnt all the different sewing techniques all by herself! I love her creations and indeed so proud of her 'achievements!' To me, she surpasses what I did at this age! I was so lost, playful and self centred then.... But this princess is a very mature, focus, creative, self regulated and independent learner. I wish I was like her! 

I told her that I want all my children do so much better than me, bless others with their gifts. And it is my desire that she brings up my grandchildren to do even better than her in the future! 

By the way, She wants u guys to guess what animal is this???

My dearest Father!

One of the heaviest burden I bear is not been able to repay my dad for his sacrifices. He paid exorbitant fees for my overseas university fees and my growing years. Despite of his heavy 'investment' in me, he supports my role as a homemaker unwaveringly.  He never put down my role and always encourage me to use what I have learnt to 'teach' my kids! To him, the returns are 'intangible' but more precious than monetary sense.

One day, I hear from my relatives how my dad bragged about my ability to take care of my 3 kids on my own and how proud he was with my role, my discouraged heart just felt so touched, assured and affirmed.  It is just so different when u hear from others that my father is indeed proud of me and because of that, I stand tall and have added faith to do well in this role for this season!!!! I will bring up my kids well, following your legacy of love, kindness and generosity!  Thank you my dearest dad!!!!  Because of you, I see a glimpse of our Heavenly Father's unconditional love! 

My dearest princess Venecia

Just have to love her as she is!!! A feisty, sweet street smart princess that challenges my stretched patience, my limits, my hope on a daily basis. I know she will do big things and I'm her first person that she can test her boundaries.  May my firm and consistent discipline help her to grow up into one fine godly lady who has a big Heart for others! 

Mum's rules!!!
