Yesterday, we gathered the children to count their ang paows. Our elder girl was so happy. And we got to teach her some simple mathematics too.<\/p>\n

What amazed me was their happiness and contentment. Our younger girl opened the first ang paows and found $2. It occupied her for long long time, and she forgot about the rest of the paper & money.<\/p>\n

Our older girl got a lot of ang paows this year. She got from $2, $10, and $50. At last she opened the angpaow from us. It contained $4, much less than the $10 and $50. Yet she was so delighted with that $4 as if it valued the biggest.<\/p>\n

I thought to myself that it’s not because she didn’t understand money. She knows already what is $2, $4, $10, $20, and $50. The reason she’s so happy with the $4 has more to do with the giver than the gift itself. A childlike attitude which I believe pleases God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
