Something to think about

Lights off.

Having our usual chat in his room before sleeping.

 

K        :   Why are some children not sweet to their mummy?

Mum  :   Sweet?

K        :   Like me (he kisses my arm), I am always sweet to you

I realised he meant 'affectionate'.

Mum  :  Maybe sometimes the mummy and the child do not spend enough time with one another. Everyone is busy with their own things and they forget how to be sweet (affectionate) to one another.

You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers ~ John J. Plomp

Some time away

Away from home that is.

Blessed with free accomodation in 2 different hotels in 3 days, a first stay-cation for us. It was a thrill for K, who exclaimed many times during the first day at Resorts World about how he loved hotels and showed his appreciation "oohing and aah-ing" loudly when we checked in to the room for the first time.

We explored Festive walk the first night, just K and I (dh was attending a gala dinner), was not too thrilled by the selection of food available and headed back to Vivo for Ramen and sushi.

Headed towards Imbiah Lookout the next morning to check out the sights…

No thrills, no 3D shows, just beautiful nature for us nature lovers.

A visit to the under-water world, always a part of our itinerary each time we are at Sentosa

More fancy poses along the way. I still can't figure out where he gets his inspiration from…

More 'waiting for the bus @ the bus stop' poses

We ended the evening with 'Songs of the Sea' which K absolutely hated.

After whining 'I want to go now', we left early and

missed the best part of the show; the finale with the fireworks.

Next morning, crazy queues for breakfast at Festive Walk so we hopped on the train back to Vivo for tea, pork floss toast and a game of 'Old Maid'

revised115-15

 

Checked out at 12pm and headed to our next stay-cation at Park Regis at Merchant Road

revised115-16

 

Pretty cool being the first to experience the rooms even before the hotel's grand opening…

Great place to stay for any business traveller.

And the people at Park Regis went that extra mile to prepare a room to ensure a comfortable stay for the 3 of us.

Lunch @ Central at the restaurant with the view of Clarke Quay.

Savoured the best Ramen in Singapore.

We really love our Japanese food, K and I…dh is left with little choice since majority wins 😉

The family had a great time at our first stay-cation, especially K.

The only complain that I have is of a stiff neck.

Been forced to sleep in strange positions on the hotel beds,

since K insisted on clinging to my arm for all three nights while sleeping…

Spirituality

Spirituality has always been a big part of my life. For me, it is not a religion but a relationship; a relationship with my Creator, thankfulness in a Saviour who has redeemed me from the abyss of hopelessness + sin and the full assurance and joy that the promises of my future that are given in me through my belief in Christ.

For many, spirituality transcends the boundaries of organized religion, resonating deeply as a personal journey of connection and faith. Within this tapestry of belief, tarot reading emerges as a unique avenue for spiritual exploration, offering seekers a pathway to divine insight and introspection. Much like seeking counsel from a trusted confidant, individuals turn to the cards to navigate the complexities of life’s journey, seeking clarity and guidance along the way. Amidst the ebb and flow of daily existence, the call to ask a psychic resonates as a beacon of hope, inviting souls to delve into the depths of their innermost truths and aspirations.

In the tapestry of spirituality, tarot reading becomes a sacred dialogue between the self and the universe, a bridge between the tangible and the ethereal. Beyond mere fortune-telling, it becomes a tool for soulful introspection, empowering individuals to uncover hidden truths and navigate life’s twists and turns with grace and wisdom. As seekers embark on their spiritual odyssey, the cards serve as faithful companions, illuminating the path towards greater understanding, purpose, and enlightenment.

God has been very real in my life and Christianity for me explains more about my life and the world than any other system of belief I’ve encountered, so naturally, I will want to share this hope for our lives with my child. We talk about the wonders of creation, how good God is to us, how we should love friends and other people around us even when they are not lovable.  For a 3 year old, he is confident that God is real, when our prayers for good weather are answered 100% of the time, whenever the activities for the day are planned for outdoors.

One morning, dh told me that K said this to him when he woke up, “Daddy, I had a dream, I dream of Jesus. I love Him and I believe in Him!”

Dh thought it was really cute, while the hairs of my arms and back of the neck started to stand when I heard that from dh. I started bombarding K with a barrage of questions,

Mom  :   “What does Jesus look like?”

Kyle   :   “He is handsome, with a beard.”

Mom  :   “Did he say anything to you.”

Kyle   :   “No, he smiled at me and I know He is Jesus and I know He wants me to sleep well, because Jesus also likes to sleep!”

For skeptics, this may sound like a 3 year old dream. For me, it sounded that K has his first spiritual encounter and I was deeply touched that our Saviour answered my prayer for my child to know Him more.

The next evening, K randomly told me this, “I know God wants Uncle Nick to believe in Him.”

I am beginning to suspect that my little one has his own direct line to God, something which I may not be even privy to…in fact, I have yet to dream about Jesus in my whole 30+ years of life, despite asking every once in a blue moon in my prayers for Him to speak to me in my dreams :)

Despite that I don’t need to see to know that God is real and Christianity is demonstrably true, as He has proven Himself countless times that He is a true God and can be fully depended on with my life.

Do you ever wonder why Christians tend to be rather irritating and are always asking people to believe in their God, or maybe you think we are a group of silly people who couldn’t deal with reality? Do you have the courage to find out if the God that Christians talk about is really true? Ask Him and you will surprise how He will show it to you.
