Lunar New Year


Lunar New Year has been a busy time for us. The first to visit us were our family – children, grandchildren plus their spouses, and great grandchild. Then nephews and nieces plus friends, including a number of off duty nurses came to pay their respects.
It is the custom for us to maintain open house during these days of celebration and no invitation is sent out to anyone.

Most of the visitors brought blessings as they talk on positive things. Sadly there are those who are negative and mar the visits with complaints.  Lunar New Year is a joyous occasion, let us keep it so.
Rejoice always,  pray continually,  give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 (NIV)

The New Year lasts for fifteen days so we can go on celebrating till Chap Go Mei which falls on Saturday 11th February 2017.
