To be kind-hearted

July 11, 2008

I gave Xuanie some star-shaped potato chips, in onion & sour cream flavor, that are his favorite. Although he had quite a few pieces of them sitting on the table in front of him, he went to his grandma, dragged her into the kitchen and pointed at the cabinet above the fridge, asking for more. He then came back with the bag, and with a wide smile, wanted everyone else at the table to have some chips. He’s a sweet one, no?

Xuanie has a good heart. He gets upset when he sees injuries (even just minor cuts) on others. He never gets angry at people. He gets angry, but always about the matter, not with people involved. If you take away a toy he cares about, he will want it back, but he bears no anger towards you even as he tries to get it back. I recently saw a baby of Xuanie’s age scrowling at his mother when the mom took a bite of his ice-ceam. I hope Xuanie will never become an angry person. I hope he’ll always be a good-hearted person.

God has been kind to me, in many different ways. With Xuanie, I remember praying for a baby with a good heart/spirit. So far, Xuanie has been a very kind baby. God is great to me. May He help me to bring Xuanie up to be a man of beautiful spirit.
