Diary Game: "We are proud parents" Childrens Ministry Graduation 2022

"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth."_{3 John 1:4}

^{My two son Mori and Math}
As the Children's Ministry Class ends in our Christian Church here in the Philippines it is also time to give awards to those active and top-performing students of the year. I am glad and proud that my two sons are one of the awardees.

We are surprised by the medals and ribbons that they received. My first son Mori was the first honor of his batch and received a total of 4 medals and 3 ribbons including the team leader of the year. My little son Math was on the other corner cheering him and shouting "Kuya, kuya, kuya" (older brother in English).

Now it's time for the kid's aged 7 below level, and I've seen on my little son's face that he was also excited to receive his award like his Kuya. Unlike his Kuya, he was not the first honor because sometimes he failed to attend his class because he was not feeling well or sick most of the time. Still, we are surprised at how he copes up with his studies and managed to become one of the honors and he received 4 medals and 4 ribbons plus he was the memory verse master and super speller.

Honestly, we didn't expect them to receive an award that many. My wife and I didn't even prepare and we are even late at the venue. It was good that we sent them earlier and the program started early too. Our sons are always making secrets with us. They always surprise us even with their achievements in school.

They really made us proud as their parents. We never force them to be an achiever, but being one is already a bonus. We always wanted them to enjoy their childhood, but they always surprised us with awards we never expect. Above all, we are grateful to God for having them and they grow up with the fear of his word. I hope this will never end and they will continue serving God until they have their own family, even without our presence anymore.
