20110318 Coincidence? (II)

Everyone seemed to be in a very upbeat mood this evening.
My 6:00 pm group of first to third graders were all lined up
to read the sounds, words, a sentence or a paragraph to me,
depending on their individual level.
One of the twins, a first grader, KC, came up with a question
that I didn't  quickly catch.

Me:  "Yu Huang what?"  I thought he was asking about a place.

Everyone:  (laughing) " Yu Huang Ta Ti!"

It was always so easy to make this age group laugh, especially whenever I mispronounced a Chinese word, so I got my paper and asked them to repeat it as I scribbled the Chinese phonetic symbol.

Once again I earned another laughter because I was not writing the Chinese character when I should be at this age.

Me:  "What is that?"

KC:  "The god that we 'pai pai' " ( clasping hands and bowing his head).

Me:  " I did not get your question.  Can you say it again?"

KC:  "I said, who is greater, your God or Yu Huang Ta Ti."

Me:  "Oh! that!  Ok, well, why don't you ask Yu Huang Ta Ti about it?"

KC:  "Will he talk to me?"

Me:  "You can try it tonight.  Ask Yi Huang Ta Ti to answer your question in a dream."
         "But," I continued, " It would be my God talking to you if you dream of a cross."

More laughter..

KCh:  " Teacher, I know you believe in Jesus.  Have you heard him speak?"

Me:  "Oh yes!  Do you want to know how?"

 I Picked up the Chinese Bible on my desk and randomly opened it to a page and read a verse.  I cannot now recall what it was.

K Ch:  (standing closer to me.) " May I touch it?"

Me: "Of course."

K Ch:  "Does it have phonetic symbols?  I want one!"

Me:  "Let's try another verse okay?"  "We can ask Him to speak to us and then read the Bible."

Again, I opened the Bible at random and this was what I read out loud:

因為我是  神 再沒有別神

I cannot tell how the children took it.  There were laughters.  My God surprised me with it.
It is one thing to say "Let's look at Isaiah 45:22" and read the verse to them, but it really did not occur to me to give KC that answer.  My God did speak for Himself!
