This very morning, God answered my prayer, my prayer MP 100, and I called it MP again --- Miracle Primera!
God answered immediately my humble and urgent imploring for correcting Ben's attitude toward life. And He responded to me through a rare response of Ben upon what I slurred the day before, Jan. 2, when I responded to Honey, my little cousin, about the gift, a remote control heli her mom sent Ben, along with my improper review over her arithmetic performance.
I told Honey that the quality control of such toys was much more to be improved and it was really not a smart bargain to make such purchase. I said so in the face of her and her mom. To confess honestly, I would have liked to disuade my gullible auntie from buying things lack of discretion. She always did so, which was almost a waste of money each time. After all, I was somehow frustrated to find a gift soon turn out to be a piece of potential recycling wreck.
Later on, as we worked together on Ben's poor arithmetics, Honey also joined in. As a fifth grader, she didn't seem to show adroitness at some questions which I took as a matter of course for a commone pupil. I 'reproached' her a bit, indicating that she should have worked harder, again, in the face of her and her mom's.
However, things went another ways as it came into the ears of Ben. He came into my bedroom and woke me up, telling me that I shouldn't act boldly and recklessly. In others eyes, I was but a stupid mule blundering as much rudeness and ignorance as I could, which would break others' heart, and so would Ben's, said he to me with tears. He quoted Proverbs 12: 18 to show me the rightousness: 'There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.' I, ahhed and ohed, was simply awe-struck by God's timely words, and to my all consternation by the young boy who should make such quotation.
Ben was right. I am impolite, rare understanding to others, speaking thoughtlessly, and rude. This is a good lesson, at the beginning of 2011, for me to re-experience and be contrite, a good reminding for me to correct my ways of speaking. And through this shocking but worthwhile advice I knew God cares about me always, loves me forever, and, what I am all but wordless, touchingly grateful beyond any description to, tells me that He has listened my prayer --- He starts to teach Ben in His way, and me, a poor little oldie.
