The story of 4 rats


Not so long ago in a not so far away land of Singapore, there live a god-fearing family who live at peace with Nature and all other God’s creation. There are 4 rats in the family who are best known for their charm and intelligence, which often wins admiration wherever they go. Blessed with a sharp wit, they possess a marvellous sense of humour, which makes them stimulating and amusing company to have around. One day something unforgettable happened………..
The first rat's husband was doggied home to the Lord so as to bless his family. There is no doubt that he has a strong sense of duty and responsibility.

The second rat's husband had to monkey a battle with Lymphoma and was victorious. His stamina and determination to overcome all odds is supported by his offsprings: the quiet rabbit who hears the melodies of our guitar( soul) and the junior monkey whose dancing would cast a hundred spells on the entire forest as it is unmatched in its originality.

The third rat's husband flew to the other end of the world as his company(Lehman Brothers) collapsed while a new window of opportunity awaits him. Preferring to live a life that is totally surrendered to God and staying true to his animal’s instinct he chose pigging out on good food (in Shen Zhen)and celebrating the joy of being alive before realising his dreams in the new window that will be opened up for him.

The youngest rat conquered the war of PSLE and WON! His mother, the horse, being performance and success oriented, gallops unimpeded through all obstacles in animal Languages, Science and Mathematics which even the tiger ( unparalleled performer) found it tough. Naturally the horse had to be checked by the unquenchable fire of the dragon, who is the center of all energy, who holds the secret to the truth and light. He knows that God will disperse the dark clouds. His approach to handling the most misunderstood rooster [who is usually the centre of attention in all things non-academia] is a clear indication of the Dragon’s super positive mindset in life.
Through it all, the 4 rats' faith never wavered. Their trials and tribulations only served to deepen their convictions that their one true God is in control of everything and that He works for the good of all those who love Him. Unequivocally, the 4 rats knew that they will scurry past their disappointments, pain, weariness and sorrows in life. By nibbling ferociously on the Word of God and sniffing out the promises of God daily, they were never defeated nor intimidated by other predators in life. Predators were not such a big deal after all due to the rats’ binding ties wrought with a tiger and a horse, who are always there to cheer them on, pray for them, intervene on their behalf and give them unstinting support in the storms of life.


The rats knew that their world would not be the same without the tiger’s protective prayer( strong humanitarian instincts) and the horse’s unfailing care. When the rats began their journey on this earth, they did not know the great joys or deep sorrows that were ahead of them. But God knows, He cares and He understands. He knows the rats, tiger and horse would need each other during the pilgrimage on earth.
The 4 rats knew that only by focusing on God and abiding by His will, can their lives be a true testament to His Grace and Mercy.
Yes, the Lord has given and He has taken. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
