Tuesday late afternoon, our son Stephen and family came to visit us with Christmas presents. That was great for Christmas is a family festival. We visit each other during Chinese New Year, and there is no reason why we should not make it for Christmas too.
Our Lord Jesus Christ was with the family, his parents in the stable or cave on that first Christmas Day. The shepherds came in haste to pay their visit to the Christ Child. The wise men from the east travelled all the way to Bethlehem guided by that special star to give gifts and spend time with the Holy family.
Earlier in the day after service, we joined in fellowship and Christmas lunch with the church family.
That same evening, our daughter Gladys and family took us to West Mall where we celebrated our grandson Emmanuel's birthday. He had just completed I.B course at ACS (Independent) and now doing his internship at the Ministry of Law. In February he will begin his national service. We had pasta at the restaurant, then moved to Swenson's restaurant to have our ice cream. O it was a real treat and we enjoyed every moment of it.
So it was a wonderful Christmas - to celebrate the coming of Christ into the world. He is the reason for the season. What a great time we had with family, friends, enjoying food and fellowship.
O give thanks unto the Lord for He is good!
