Let's Dance Macarena

2011-08-04T23:49:00.006-04:00

Several months ago before I ended my first grade, I showed to my Ibu (mother) how I learned to dance Macarena at school but it was difficult for her to follow me. She finally searched it at Youtube and I was glad she found it.

It seems this video is easy to follow and Ibu looks happy she can learn how to dance Macarena easily now so we both can dance together for fun and exercise. You can also learn from it and let's dance together. (Don't forget to turn off the volume of Little Mermaid songs by pressing "the pause" botton on the left bottom of this blog)

Merry Christmas to all of you.

Below Ibu attaches some pictures and three videos from Christmas last year. She would attach more christmas pictures this year when she has enough time to download and post them here. Enjoy and happy holidays! I made this at my class. Ibu was so proud of me. She said I was such a good 5 years old artist. Ibu helped me to make this small project for my class. She is very creative by attaching cereals as Christmas ornaments. Thank you, Ibu. I bought this ring at school for my Ibu's Christmas present. It was a pitty, her fingers were too small to wear it but she was still happy and kept that present as her special treasure. We had so much snow last year and Ibu and I made our first snowman in a different shape. It looked funny but we had lot of fun. He he . . . I was in my home and enjoyed seeing my Christmas tree.

2010-11-24T10:55:00.003-05:00

PATIENCE is waiting until later for what you want now

Don't get tired of doing the right thing

Memory Verse: The end of a matter is better than its beginning. So it's better to be patient than proud. (Ecclesiastes 7:8)

Today's Bible Story: The Golden Calf (Exodus 19:2-8; 32:1-7, 15-24, 30-34)

Some great songs about patience: Patience and Wait, available at amberskyrecords.com

DAY 1:

Read Matthew 22:39
God wants yu to keep loving others when it's easy and when it's hard. When you do that, you'll know that you're doing what God wants, and you'll be a blessing to the people around you. So don't get tired of loving others.

Thanks God for helping you love others.

DAY 2:

Read Matthew 6:1-4
Do you think about giving things to others when it's not Christmas or their birthday? God wants us to keep giving--all year long! When we keep giving, we keep showing God's love to others. So don't get tired of giving to others.

Ask God to show you ways to keep giving to others.

DAY 3:

Read Deuteronomy 13:4
Ask a kid, you constantly have people telling you what to do. It's not always easy to do, but it's what God wants. When we keep obeying people in charge we show them--and God--respect (another virtue)! So don't get tired of obeying your leaders.

Listen to God and do what He says.

DAY 4:

Read John 3:16
Believing in Jesus isn't just a one-time thing. It's something you keep doing throught your life, and the benefits are endless! So keep on believing in Him.

Know that Jesus is always your Savior.

Do you know that my Mom wrote a book entitled Enthusiasm? Check this book out at Amazon and I'm sure you are going to be interested to read.

I'm her books fan. I used to ask her where is your book for me although I still can't read the complicated words but I'm proud to hold her book as you see two pictures below. And she said one day she would give one and let me read her story.
And also I used to ask her where the next book signing is. I'm always interested to come to every book signing she has.
