Babies!!
Hee! You know I was just at Annie's house today, having personal bible study conducted by Sister Huijun. Well, there is always a great pleasure in going up there because that also happens to be the home of Annie's beloved son, Justin or aka Baby Justin.
I have to say, I really have met few babies as cute as this one. Even on the trains or buses I may come across parents wheeling prams with babies in or should I say just the average baby of the average Singaporean on an average Singaporean street on an average Singaporean day. But then I started using baby Justin as a benchmark to judge the cuteness of other babies (oops) and I found that there are very few who can compare. I'm guessing its his plump and rosy cheeks that make him so adorable. I think he is cuter than I was when I was little! (oh dear! Hows that possible? =P)
But the baby is a really fun bible study companion. Today he sat along with us as we were taught on his baby chair and listened to preaching of the Word, Praise the Lord. But he wouldn't keep completely still and is in this phase where grabbing things is like ultra fun. So he would play with pens and highlighters etc. There were many fun moments like when Sister Huijun was preaching midway when he started to violently shake his head as if to disagree with her...hee. But cute and Sister Huijun herself also very fond of him and will just gladly play along =)
Today was the first time I saw him smile and I thought I distinctively heard him say "hello" (or did I hear wrong?). Also, I was allowed to carry him for the very first time...hehe.
I just wish to say that well, babies are just so very heartwarming. I went up to Annie's house feeling a little down and left feeling very high. When the baby just reached out to me, it was like wow, the joy is there. I don't think I can express here how I felt when he reacted to me...it was just...wow. I just felt so happy carrying him, even if for only awhile. I think if I were the father or a brother I would have cried right then.
I just think babies are such great joy to behold and their company is great. They are a blessing from the Lord God. Of course I have seen only the good side of babies for today baby Justin was as good as gold. But is hardwork to raise a baby worth the joys it would bring? YES!!! Definitely!! Cheers!
Praise the Lord my God, and thanking Him for the presence of baby Justin on Earth. May he grow to be a powerful man of the Lord! Hallelujah! Amen.
