Christmas celebrations with family and friends.

Christmas Eve was spent with our son's family and friends at their home. We had great time of fellowship and dinner together.

On Christmas Day, we had dinner with our daughter's family at the new Plaza called JEM. There we celebrated Christmas and also our grandson Emmanuel's 19th birthday.

Christmas is a family festival and we thank God for the two families - each with three children. We thank God they all know the Lord.

Our third child Dora Poh Chin is a resident at Peacehaven Nursing Home, very well cared for by the nurses and staff. We are always grateful to these caring folk. We wish would could have her join us in the festivities, but this is not possible in her condition.

We had 'tim sum' at Teochew Seafood Restaurant at Centre Point earlier on with a very good friend we have known for more than 70 years. She used to be the Central Corps pianist and was also my wife's Sunday School teacher. She now lives alone with the maid. Every now and then we would get an sms message inviting us out for lunch.

God has blessed us with many friends who share blessings with us.
