Lyrics of Zaccheus
Zaccheus
Zaccheus was a wee little man; a wee little man was he
He climbed up in a sycamore tree for the lord he wanted to see
And there’s the savior passed that way he looked in a tree.
And he said, “Zaccheus, you come down for I am going to your house today.”
Zaccheus knew that he’d done wrong and sorry for sins was he.
“Lord, to the poor I give one half and all my good,” said he,
“and if I cheated anyone, four times will I repay.”
And Jesus said, “Salvation has come to you. I’ve come to seek and save.”
Zaccheus was a wee little man but a happy man was he
For he has seen the Lord that day and a happy man was he!
And a very happy man was he.
Zaccheus was a wee little man; a wee little man was he
He climbed up in a sycamore tree for the lord he wanted to see
And there’s the savior passed that way he looked in a tree.
And he said, “Zaccheus, you come down for I am going to your house today.”
Zaccheus knew that he’d done wrong and sorry for sins was he.
“Lord, to the poor I give one half and all my good,” said he,
“and if I cheated anyone, four times will I repay.”
And Jesus said, “Salvation has come to you. I’ve come to seek and save.”
Zaccheus was a wee little man but a happy man was he
For he has seen the Lord that day and a happy man was he!
And a very happy man was he.

Reasonable guilt
Guilt is good or bad? Guilt comes from "should". Lord, what kind of "should" I should keep? Please teach me.
當注目於行為及結果
Fear is real but fear has no contribution to the reality. Fear did not help the situation. Therefore, acknowledge the fear but don't let fear stop your way. If nothing is done, nothing is changed and nothing has been gained, even a little experience.
No matter how, I decided to tell myself to focus on what I have done (though it doesn't imply morality) and what is the result. It is because it leads me to real life.

決心只數算"成功"
I have brought Chinchin to the library.
I have asked a street worker to explore what I wanted to know.
I have take courage to share and ask.
I have found Chinchin's observation ability.
I have followed my heart to feed the baby according to my wish.
I have called Bonnie to learn to show concern and love.
I have tried to remember and learn to understand what the church is happening.
I have tried to teach Chinchin numbers.
I have tried to show CD games to Chinchin.

Reminders from Big brother
Dear Lord, thank you for giving me Chen Yue as my big brother. Thank you for your teaching about "lost". As a lost sheep, I cannot find myself; only you can find me out from the lost and darkness. Lord, please let me see you more clearly and help me to trust on your leading. Only you leading can help get out from the lost and darkness, just like out from a forest.
Dear Lord, thank you for giving the scripture about the failure of people to see Jesus in the past. Thank you for using Steven to point out the "common failures" of not able to see Jesus. Lord, don't let my problems, my tears, my thoughts block my eyes from seeing you. May you always touch my heart and clear my eyes so that I can see your presence.

他救了我
1
以前我迷失在罪途，輕慢主愛，遠離公義正路，
我真不知為何拒絕，捨身流血愛我靈的耶穌。
*
祂救了我，從罪中釋放我，在各各他為我付上代價；
我一切罪主已完全赦宥，使我黑夜變為白晝。
2
我真永遠夢想不到，我能得到這樣平安喜樂，
基督已拯救我靈魂；也能救我勝過一切罪惡。

manage yourself and serve others
I will to improve the management of important things: important documents, important records. I think it is time to settle. So:
1. I had to decide--what to do and what is important. it would be a list and a priority.
2. Then I had to settle--where to put and why is that? Importance is that it would be out of the reach of children. and the categorization is easy to remember!!!

Be present & follow the life flow
To me, it is not easy to be just present with Chinchin without seeing my active participation. But during the period of trouble two, people advised me to learn this. It is because she tends to be self-centred and don't like to follow. So be present and have occasional attention/hug/touch may be more appropriate sometimes.
Besides, people told me that her regression behaviours like sucking fingers, drawing old things and playing old games are some ways she can reexperience the happy times before and the happy times with mommy in the past. So, allow such regression behaviours in adjusting period is needed.
Attention-seeking behaviour is another issue that must be alway beared in mind. Ignore and don't address the attention-seeking behaviour but to divert her, e.g. by giving a hug to her, is a good way to walk through this period.
Going to the park, to the library, an hour break with husband, are those I could do and help the present situation. Enjoy the present time I can be with her always and help her to walk through the school adjustment period, this is a good way to "pass" this time period.

reminders from a friend
A kind note from a friend:
1. I tends to anxious for very long future, ten more steps in future. It is "over". I need to learn to think less future and walk more.
2. I have to learn to let others to share the burden, trusting others, and everybody has a need to lean on others sometimes.

a question, an answer
When there is a question, give a temporary answer even sometimes it seems that you can't have a good one immediately.
Life is an exploration and a chance to experience. Try new things always, except for dangerous or evil things.

Prayer for children and myself
God, teach me and guide me to help Chinchin & Loklok to know you and trust in you. Let them find the abundance of life in trusting you. You are love and truth and would you please lead me to your love and truth?
born again/ eternal life
if someone does not born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me. that's the way to inherit the eternal life.
