Visited the Milky Way Kindergarden in Korea last Friday. Met up with the Principal and Pastor of the school and learn alot. Unlike other kindergarden, the main education here is to teach the kids about God and their faith. At such young age, they develop the habit to pray and praise and seek God at all times. Pastor shared that once they build a strong foundation spiritually, they will be able to grow faster on other areas. It was a struggle initially for Pastor to convince the parents but they mange to do so and have multiplied to about 14 branches in Korea. And it was God's blessing that they even got approval from the government and receive subsidies.
Indeed I realise more about the basic of life, how we as human being should lead our life to make it meaningful. Faith - that's our foundation. With faith in God, we receive direction for the right path of life. With faith in God, we receive wisdom to overcome obstacles. With faith in God, we receive strength to move forward. With all these fundamental mentality instill in us, how can we go wrong? How can we not be happy?
There's so many teachable moments that God has created in our life. Yet how often have we realise? How often are we consciously aware that the Lord is always beside us? The kids are always aware. They pray to Lord every day. They praises to glorify Him everyday. They listen to the simplified words everyday. They become more and more spiritual everyday. They ARE more spiritual than us. They can see Jesus. Ask all of them and they will all point to the same direction telling you the Lord is there. They can even shared with you the places that the Lord has brought them to in Heaven. These are kids. 3, 4, 5 years old. Why would they lie?
The next day, there was a soccer games in wmd for kids. That's when I got to see how the kids put thier faith into action. During the game, every pair of legs were racing as fast as they can after the ball. At any instance, you will see faces of determination. For every goal that the team score, all the young players will kneel down to pray to give thanks to God. Once they win a game, they will run to Jesus statue to praise and pray to give thanks to God. How touching...
They are just kids... but there are so much that we can learn from them, we as adults...
