Welcome on Board, Son

Oct 1, 2010 is another milestone in my life.

God gives me to you.

You were born a little smaller compare to your brother, a mere 2.60kg.

Deciding your name has been a long process.

I wrote few options on my white board, and very undecisive about it, particularly so for your name in English.

One morning, I read the book of Genesis for my devotion and came across the story of Cain and Abel.

When I ponder on the contrast between these two brothers, like lightning strike, I know what your name would be: Abel Lim.

I wish your heart would be like Abel, giving his best to God out of his true faith and genuine worship to his creator, even to the extend of paying his own life for it.

After sharing it with your mom, we decided to use the Indonesian version of Abel, which is Habel (pronounce as 'hah-bell' in Indonesia, and 'Hey-ble' in English.

Therefore, you name is Habel Lim Shi Xin, 林实信.

Welcome on board, son.

Together, we build a family that serve God and minister to people!

You are a brother now, Fidel

Son, today onwards, you (and this blog) will no longer be the same.
Because, you will be called Brother now on!
God gives me 2nd son, and he gives you a brother.

Let me tell you this, it is a great honor and priviledge to be a brother.

Now on, you have an individual, a person, who no one else is dearer for you than him.

You have obligation to love, to protect, to enrich him together with me.

This is a tremendous priviledge from God.

I am going to share this blog with your brother.

What I have written and what I am going to write, is what I want to share with both of you.

Together, we are one family.
