Twelve of us met in our home this morning for fellowship, sharing of the Word and prayer. What a great time we had. We always begin the day with refreshments - tea, coffee, cold drinks, each person helps himself or herself to whatever is on the table - cakes, cookies, biscuits. The time usually passes very quickly.
Normally those who want to stay for lunch, join us to eat what is available or what anyone brings. Today however, we had to stop at 11.30 a.m as we had an appointment to take two visitors from International Headquarters out for lunch. Majors Margaret Stredwick and Richard Welch have been conducting finance training courses for representatives from the zone. The delegates have all gone home and the two trainers will leave early tomorrow morning.
We have been recipients of hospitality when we went overseas and we feel when others visit our country, we should show courtesy. We knew Richard's parents in the late 'fifties and again in the eighties they came to Hong Kong to work for The Salvation Army. Joe Welch is now with the Lord and his wife Margaret lives in England.
Thank God for friends who have enriched our lives.
"Thank You Lord for everyone who loves You and belongs to Your family. You are our Heavenly Father and we are Your children. Thank You for the world wide family of Your people.
Lord bless the family of my church. May we accept one another regardless of race or colour of skin as brothers and sisters, finding strength and joy in our life together. Help us to strengthen our bond of fellowship in Jesus Christ. Amen.
