EPISODE 18: OUR 1st CHRISTMAS AT GC

Well, today is our 1st Christmas spent in Australia.

Yesterday, we had a nice quiet family dinner, just we 3 " kings of orient" are.. We had seafood pasta alfredo, (white sauce) + spinach&cheese puff pastry+salmon pate on rice crackers. Simple evening meal, but totally pressed down, shaken together & flowing over...Then we had a good time of singing christmas songs and afterwards a short worship session unto the Lord. We were so used to rushing like mad during christmas eve for service and then getting ready for the next morning, so this was a nice change being able to relate as a family together and fully appreciate the meaning of Christmas and also teaching Jordan about true meaning of Christmas.

Woke up this morning, & had a hurried breakfast & went for early church service at Genesis, then brought Mum Beryl back to have lunch with us at our place. She brought along some christmas crackers (read more on what crackers are on web link if interested) which she said was lots of fun to pull before a meal.

It's really nice to spend time with Beryl, relate and share with her our hopes & visions and she likewise. She's a real blessing to our lives.

After that what? Busily sending out SMS xmas wishes, and now in a frenzy packing to fly off to Malaysia tomorrow. We will be away till Jan 14th 2009.
