up to Heaven....

today......it was probably the happiest day in my teaching experience yet.

I had just read a story to my students in class.. and i asked them to color a picture.

so as they were coloring... suddenly Chen-Chen asked me quietly,

"Teacher.....i want to up with God."

i was like... "WHAT??"

ya, i know his grammar is pretty bad.....but his English improves day by day. =)

then he seemed very shy and i didnt know why. then he said again "how to be up with God?"

i was still quite blur.... that's the result if you dont eat your breakfast! brain cant function properly.so eat breakfast! lol...

then i asked him what he meant...n he asked my how to be with God "up there" after he dies.

wah liao.......so young and think about after die where he wana go.

so i was very happy to explain to him about Heaven and how to go "up there"...

and he prayed and asked Jesus into his heart.

i was so happy...while praying i started to tear up and almost cried.

and after that, little Mel who was also listening to our talk also said she wants to go to Heaven too. so prayed with her also.

i was really overjoyed. could not stop smiling after that.

children may be young and you think they don't know much. but one thing i learnt is that they watch you very carefully and they DO know and absorb alot of information and they understand more than we think they do.

i used to be very doubtful when a little kid makes a decision to accept Jesus. i would think to myself "does he really know what is going on? or is he just doing it to follow his friends......?"

but after teaching my kids... and after hearing their questions about God... and after seeing their faces.. i think that sometimes children are even more sincere and sure in their decisions than adults.

so i hope when they grow up, they will remember this and ask Jesus into their hearts again.

ahhh...... i feel so happy. =D

they can read. (i teach them phonics)

they have Jesus.

my job as a teacher is done. LOL
