"Because I love God more than money"

That's what N said when he gave the $12 that he found among his barang barang. It was one of those CNY angpao that he didn't realise that he didn't give to me to consolidate and save after CNY. So he happily told me after finding the $12 that he wanted to give it during offering time in church at Sunday school. He said that his Sunbeam teacher taught them that they should love God more than any thing else in this world. Including money. And that lesson was imprinted in him well. I was encouraged. He looked forward to giving his offering while waiting for 2 weeks for Sunday to come (we missed church one Sunday, to his disappointment!) and mentioned it now and then. When last Sunday finally came, he was so glad to be able to give his $12. His 5.5 yo heart can be so tender and sweet sometimes. True, he has become more loud and active as a typical K2 boy... where running around is the preferred speed option and talking, singing loudly is the norm. Normal doesn't mean acceptable, haha! But at least his heart is leaning towards God's direction. For this, I praise God!
