We spent seven and half years in Hong Kong and Taiwan (January 1983-June 1990) and made many new friends. We have lost contact with many but some still keep in touch with us. What a joy to have Mrs. Colonel Alice Lau in Singapore this Christmas. She is visiting her son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Gina. We were privileged to spend some time together and as the Cantonese would call it - yam char (had a meal) at Food Haven.
The year 2009 is coming to an end. We've been thinking and praying for our many friends who have enriched out lives. Thank God for friends.
The Gift of Friendship
Friendship is a Priceless Gift
That cannot be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater
Than a mountain made with gold -
For gold is cold and lifeless,
It can neither see nor hear,
And in the time of trouble
It is powerless to cheer -
It has no ears to listen,
No heart to understand,
It cannot bring you comfort
Or reach out a helping hand -
So when you ask God for a gift,
Be thankful if He sends
Not diamonds, pearls or riches,
But the love of real true friends. (Helen Steiner Rice)
