Observations on babies we met recently

Felin and I started to discuss about behaviour of children when we are out with common friends lately. 2 infant boys whom we met recently encouraged us a lot because they behave so well when they are out with their parents. The boys were able to sit quietly in their stroller and be carried around by anyone in the room. They learnt eye contact and are so willing to take pictures when asked to. We never hear them cry to seek attention and will just sleep when its time for them to do so. Wow... Felin and I are really praying hard that our babies will just be like them.

As for the other boy whom we met, he is about 2.5 years old. We learned about how tiring and patient we must be to take care kids of this age. He seeks a lot of attention from the parents and constantly don't seems to be satisfied playing on his own. He can stay in the playground for a good half an hour doing things repeatedly but keep wanting his parents to watch him all the time. While having dinner, he constantly play around with the utensils, play with food and pouring water around. I seriously doubt I have the patience if he is my own child. I can't really imagine as yet on how we can have meals in future with 2 boys too.

I'm seeing challenges ahead but yet I'm still treating as if they are not coming anytime yet. I did not keep my objectives that I made few months ago and yet time is running out. I reduced my exercise regime quite a lot and became no so fit again, I did not have regular quiet time and read the bible for a few weeks, my sales wasn't exactly good, I did not train well on my public speaking, I spent too much time on TV and other useless stuffs, etc... I know time is running out but yet my spirit is weak to do things I wanted to do. I'm trying to pack my appointments but I know many of these appointments does not translate to sales.

I remembered my 5 pillars of wealth which stems from Spiritual growth. Perhaps, I must first focus on God before things get right for me again. I have no more time and only God can give me the capabilities to handle the stress ahead.
