Hallelujah, God Bless the Child

Oh Sacrament most holy. Oh Sacrament divine. All praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine.

One can't help but be amazed by how much this child has grown. It wasn't too long ago when he was just this petite 12-year-old with an all-endearing nature, full of innocence and adorable naivety. Wisdom, time and maturity has changed this lovely individual and it was such a joy to see him receive the Sacrament of Confirmation last Sunday.

Joyce and I were talking about the immense growth in faith and sensibility (and yes, height) that we've witnessed in this little angelic pal of ours and the fact is we could not have been more proud. The same goes for his biological parents, of course.

Some things never change, though, and we're glad that his gentle nature and his big heart are two of them. In time to come, I hope to see a Jerome Jude Matthew Lim who's a gentleman in every way and a passionate servant of God.

May the little fearless light in him shine in all its splendour for the world to be inspired.
