I would like to share a video clip of a KidZone presentation in our church one February Sunday. Eve belongs to the older group of kids, called Big Leap and Elevate, who practiced the song some previous sundays already during their children's church. I bring Anne to First Step, kids who are below 7 years old, just so she gets the feel of being with other children. She likes coloring and most of all, she likes snack time. But since she's just 2 years old, she gets bored fast and so I bring her back to the sanctuary to be with her Apa (for papa). On this particular Sunday, all the children were in the same room, practicing and getting ready for their presentation. Anne was watching them, trying to imitate their actions, and before I knew it, she was already in front. So I let her be since I knew then that it was just a practice. But when all the children went down to the sanctuary, one of the coaches took her and placed her in front of the stage. Thus this video. I was only prepared to get a shot of Eve, but I get to have a shot of both of them. Yes, Anne is the baby in front wearing a light blue dress while Eve was behind her, in dark pink dress. Anne may not be aware of what she is doing that time, but she made her achi (elder sister), specially her papa and her mama beam with pride and joy. I know that her heavenly Father has accepted her song of praise and that is why my heart was just welling up with tears. It was unexplainable. I know, someday, our family will refer back to this video, will relive the moment and become a source of inspiration and encouragement to all of us.
