Jocelyn and her vuvuzela

5 years.

E (in the car, driving): Hey Jocie, what did you do at school?

J: Daddy, we watched gorilla movie today.

E: Oh really? What is it about?

J: Oh Daddy, do you know… do you know the gorilla called… ah….

E: Yes dear?

J: Oh Daddy… called…. Ping Pong

E (almost lost control of the car): …..

Happy Birthday, my sweetie pie.

You have given me so much to remember.

What about 聖靈?

Another theological conversation on our way to school one morning:

Jocelyn: Daddy, I want to invite everybody [a long list of people hereafter]… and Jesus, God and Mary…

Daddy: But what about the Holy Spirit?

Jocelyn: Oh, yes, and the Holy Spirit.

Daddy: Do you know, God the father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, they are always together, so happy that together, they are one GOD.

Jocelyn: Huh? What about Mary?

Daddy: What about Mary?

Jocelyn: Mary is Jesus’ mommy! [meaning: God is the daddy, Mary is the mommy and Jesus is the son, so Mary must be in there somewhere….]

Daddy: But Mary is a person like you and me. God the father, God the son and the Holy Spirit, together they are one God. It’s different.

Jocelyn: What about 聖靈?

Daddy: 聖靈 is the Holy Spirit! Why do you always forgot the Holy Spirit?

Jocelyn: Because I don’t know his name!

Daddy: ……

In the theatre

Hi daddy,

I’m watching movie and scared of the dark. But I have the light with me. I’m still scared.

Thank you Jessica, you have made my day! (Just that I did not know my daughter is already using a smart phone!)

Not well.

If you are one of those people who pray, please remember Jocelyn as she is having fever and rash since the weekend.

Update: Jocelyn is confirmed with having scarlet fever.

Jocelyn in Wonderland

Jocelyn says:

You know what? This is daddy’s first time to wonderland! I introduced him to many wonderful games and adventures there. Look how happy he is playing the “spinning cup” with me!

Sushi Time!!

Jocelyn says:

Hi everyone! Ta-da, I am 4 years old now!!! And guess what, it is also time for my favorite sushi! And look at those cup cakes which Lan Yi & Gu Ma got me! By the way, I don’t even know that you can write on a small cup cake like this! Maybe they can write my chinese name next time…

Thanks everyone! Enjoy the photos!!

自己pray。

在車內。

「Daddy,我想pray 一個prayer to Jesus,然後Daddy pray …」

「好,咁你pray 啦。 」

「謝謝天父,我而家4 years old 啦,求天父,求天父… birthday girl 唔 sit on the bench…」

在學校,老師對住調皮的同學,罰time-out,就係去 sit on the bench。

為父滿懷安慰,女兒終於識得自己祈禱。

「囡囡,跟住要講乜嘢呀?」口裡的「阿們」孵之欲出…

「…求主潔淨,奉主名求,阿們。」
