"I'm glad I'm not fasting!"


4/5/07


On Sunday, I've asked the whole church to fast together for 7 days to commemorate the Passion of Christ. Many people have decided to fast at least one or two meals/day along with TV fast, and several people have committed themselves to fast 3 meals/day.

On Monday evening, my two daughters asked me to make something to eat. So I decided to make an egg dish for them, and boy . . . it smelled so good - the temptation was tremendous! As my two daughters sat down to eat, the older one, Jina (8 yrs. old), asked me if I wanted a bite. When I said, "No thanks," she said, "Why? Are you fasting?" When I told her, "Yes," she felt bad about eating in front of me. But my second daughter, Jinjoo (6 yrs. old), spoke out loud, "I'm glad I'm not fasting! Whew! This egg is yummy!" The way she said it was so funny that I laughed hard.

Praise God for my honest and caring daughters!
