We had our usual Adult Bible class from 9.30 t0 10.30 a.m. Despite it being Chinese New Year, folk turned up to study the difficult book of Revelation.
After the lesson we joined the bigger group at the main hall for our Holiness meeting. The Major based her message on Ephesians. The topic - "God's Ang Pow blessing." She spoke about Jesus' love and provisions for us to enjoy.
After the meeting we were blessed with the visit of some friends. Mrs. Colonel Alice Lau of Hong Kong and her son Michael and daughter-in-law Gina. She has been here since before Christmas and will be returning to Hong Kong this week. Good to have them with us and naturally we talked much about our many Hong Kong friends.
Our Corps Secretary and his wife, Terence and Sze Hian also came to visit us and we enjoyed the time spent celebrating Chinese New Year.
God has blessed us with many friends and we have been greatly enriched by our association through the years. Good to have them visiting us during this festive season. So far, there has been more than eighty visitors this year.
We also had an unwelcome visitor who appeared in the garden. It was a monkey looking for food. Now we have to make sure when we are not around to have our doors and windows shut. It has already paid a visit to Major Pascoe's flat. Strange it should appear as it is not the year of the monkey. We are in the year of the rabbit and should one appear, we might catch it and make rabbit stew. No, I won't dare kill a rabbit, no not even a chicken.
