A simple and happy night

I reached back home at 10pm today only to see Joshua crying. Felin was frustrated because she hasn't been sleeping well for nights and Joshua threw tantrum at such time when he was supposed to be asleep. Felin said, "You take over! I'm really tired!"

I carried Joshua, gave him a good hug, kissed his forehead and asked "How are you, Joshua? What happened to you?" He quietened down seemingly understood what I said.

I brought him to the balcony and started talking to him. He kept looking straight towards the pool and the flashing lights on the trees below. I told him about the importance of brotherhood and both he and Josiah must always remember that they are from the same blood and flesh. They must always stay close to each other regardless what happen in future. Most important to love and fear God.

I then sang tune of 2 mandarin songs and also Eiderwiss. I told him about the beautiful flowers in the Swiss alps and how it strives in cold weather. I told Joshua that in life, we will face challenges and we can still strive when conditions are bad. That's the reason for his name " 予恒" which is to persevere.

I then put him back to bed and he slept soundly. I know he don't understand what I'm saying today but this blog will tell him about a simple night like this in future.

Thanks Joshua, you reminded me about perseverance today...
