HERE’S WHAT’S UP: WHY we’M SO TOUCHED BY MY DAUGHTER
Can Here’s What’s Up be more late than this? Better late than never, right? Our people, our oldest girl turned 5 this week! When our kids have a birthday, it reminds us of how far we've come. Our girls are now 5, 3 and 1 and we are ecstatic!That girl up there has touched our life in many ways. Through her, we are reminded that there is a God that is so real… we are so grateful for her existence. Here are some instances in which she touched us deeply:-When she was about 18 months old, we lay by her one day feeling so sick in our stomach that we complained out loud. We didn’t know our baby could hear and understand us. She told us “ashia” (sorry) and started rubbing our tummy. It was so comforting to be comforted by a baby.-One day, Mr N and we had an argument and we left the sitting room in anger. Our girl went to her Daddy and said, “You have to stop doing bad things to Mummy. When Mummy comes downstairs, tell her you are sorry.” And that was what prompted Mr. N to apologise. She was about 3 then.– She told us, “You are the best cooker ever!” when we prepared something she really liked. In fact she has told us this several times and we always respond by saying, “N, it’s not cooker, it’s cook!” So sweet.-One day we were having an argument with Mr. N and started yelling. We can’t even remember the silly thing that made us yell. But what we can remember is this: that girl up there interrupted, “Mom, remember what you taught us? Let it go…” Chai, shame catch us.
–That girl up there can pray honest prayers. She even thanks God for her Daddy who makes her laugh when they play. She keeps asking God to give her brothers. She uses prayers to remind us of some promises made to her. For example, “God, thank you for the fluffy slippers our Mommy will buy for us.”On her birthday, we made some vanilla cookies and decorated one with a heart as a sign that we love her dearly. She is so excited to be a 5 year old. Now our ears will now rest from hearing, “When we turn 5, we will…”Meanwhile, in church over the weekend we learned to tackle our family problems by looking at ourselves. Stop blaming everyone else except you. Look within and see how you can effect changes.Over the week, we'll be sharing some interesting recipes and stories. Thank you for always reading. Your clicks mean a lot.Enjoy the rest of your week!
