a party & a legacy

The boy will be 5 on the 18th, but he had an early party today. (his sister also had her 1st birthday party when she was 5, at the local McDonald's.)

but today's party was held at home. our part-time domestic helper cooked nasi beryani with chicken, popodum, cucumber salad for the parents while the wife prepared nuggets, fries & sausages for the kids. pizzas, jelly, fruits, drinks on free-flow& the mandatory birthday cake completed the spread.

the kids were the usual suspects - from church - & all in, 10 came with their parents. i think everyone enjoyed themselves with games, presents & food:

poison letter


forfeit : hug the birthday boy


tucking in


blowing out the candles


just hanging out


hand ball

Jason Fong from the Scripture Union gave a talk on handling children today, based largely on his personal experience with his 2 girls. we would do well to instil Christian values in our children, in order that they may pass this virtue & legacy on to their children.

we will not hide them from their children;
we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
his power, & the wonders he has done.
so the next generation would know them, even children yet to be born,
& they in turn would tell their children. psalms 78:4,6
