Anya: When I grow up, I want to be …
I was tidying up our living room when I saw Anya’s choir file, with this A4-sized ‘note’ inserted into the very front of the plastic sheets.
[Anya joined our church’s children choir since she was 4 years old and she has a choir file where she keeps her song sheets]
I knew she wanted to write or draw something for her choir file, but I had no idea how she would do it.
Until I saw it.
And smiled.
I treasure the naivety of her thoughts.
And, I like that last sentence she wrote, hehe.
…
After reading this note, I was reminded of how as parents we have this ‘responsibility’ to nurture our children’s God-given talents. In Anya’s case, we need to let her continually develop this love for writing without us making it feel like a ‘chore’.
Not easy.
May God give us the wisdom to know how best we should do it.

It’s the simplicity of her chain of thoughts that I treasure (because I know such things won’t last too long)
