My Pandan Baby

That's my "Pandan Baby" at KK hospital. He looked really hip in that uniform because it was too big for him. Because of the green uniform, I called him "Pandan Baby" while he was there. He is recovering now though he is still wheezing a bit.

Some friends told me to claim healing for him or declare him free from illness in Jesus name. I know they meant well, but I just smiled and said "yeah". In my heart I was simply praying "I will go to the valley if You want me too" (Ginny Owen's "If You want me to"). I dare not twist the arm of God to demand anything from Him. The least that I could do is to pray "Lord, Thy will be done". The Psalmist might have declared that the favour of the Lord went before him like a shield, but I see the life of Paul in Acts. Didn't he he suffer hardship but yet throught it all, his affliction was considered nothing next to the Glory of Christ in Him and in Heaven. In Paul's suffering, God's favour was still upon him. In his affliction he toiled for the sake of the gospel and reaped a greater reward from God.

I dare not demand, but that doesn't mean I do not pray. Some might accuse of me of being faithless, I say I have more faith that them because my faith is not based on good circumstances (May this statement stand the test of time). Now Joshie is home, he is a "Pandan Baby" no more because he is home. He is back to where he belong, at home as my "Little Pudding Baby" or "Lychee Baby". What shall I eat now? Pudding Ears of Pudding Nose? Or may be squeeze some Lychee Juice out of his chubby face.
