After spending hours building his 100-piece LEGO house, Jozen beamed with pride. He took a bathroom break, eager to show off his masterpiece to the family. Meanwhile, his curious one-year-old brother, now a skilled crawler, made his way to the LEGO house. As he reached out to support himself, the house came tumbling down.

 

Jozen rushed back, visibly angry. "What have you done?!" he shouted at his little brother.

 

Mummy rushed over to investigate the commotion. It was clear that the little brother was the culprit. "Mummy, look! He destroyed my house!" Jozen exclaimed, his anger evident. He glared at his little brother, who sat amidst the scattered LEGO pieces, attempting to rebuild.

 

"Don't worry, dear builder," Mummy said with a reassuring smile to Jozen. "We'll rebuild the house together!"

 

As they rebuilt the house piece by piece, their mother shared a story. "A very long time ago, there was a house that was also destroyed just like your LEGO house. It was called the Temple. Can you say 'Temple'?" Jozen repeated the word, and his little brother attempted to mimic him.

 

Their mother continued, "So this Temple was a place where people would go and pray to God and also sing songs to God. But it had been destroyed."

 

At this point, they were almost done with rebuilding the LEGO house.

 

"But there was a man named Prophet Haggai who asked the people not to be sad anymore and start working on rebuilding the Temple. Can you say, Prophet Haggai?" Mummy asked and again, Jozen repeated the word and his little brother simply smiled on his attempt.

 

"And just like we're doing now, the people worked together to rebuild the Temple and they were able to do it. So my dear builder, sometimes, when something breaks or gets destroyed, we can always try to rebuild and make it even better," Mummy said, smiling as she placed the final LEGO piece on their newly rebuilt house.

 

 

"Now, go give your little brother a big hug! He may have accidentally knocked down the house, but he helped us rebuild it, and that's what matters."
