Praise to the Lord that our Melody was born on Wednesday afternoon, June 3, 2009 at 3:49pm. 7 lbs 3 ozs. Thank you for all your prayers!

Eph 5:19-20 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;”

Thanks to the Lord that Melody was finally safely born after an hour of hard pushing! I almost couldn’t make it as her face was facing up which made it very difficult. Thanks God for allowing my last ounce of energy just enough to push her out! I was sore all over my body afterwards. The pushing was always the easiest part for me in my last 5 labours, but definitely not this time. Childbirth experience never cease to surprise you! Some say Melody has to put on a show to make herself special. Well, she was really good at it!!!

The following is our beloved hymn that we sang to our little Melody. Click the song name to listen!

In My Heart There Rings a Melody

I have a song that Jesus gave me,
It was sent from heav’n above;
There never was a sweeter melody,
‘Tis a melody of love.

Chorus
In my heart there rings a melody,
There rings a melody with heaven’s harmony;
In my heart there rings a melody,
There rings a melody of love.

I love the Christ who died on Calv’ry,
For he washed my sins away;
He put within my heart a melody,
And I know it’s there to stay.

‘Twill be my endless theme in glory,
With the angels I will sing;
‘Twill be a song with glorious harmony.
When the courts of heaven ring.
