Blessed Christmas!
Another Christmas, but every one has it's own special memories.
It was a mad rush this year again. Had to get ready for the office Christmas lunch & I realised I forgot to take pictures! Managed to sneak in one round of table tennis and then had to rush off to meet Matz@Nex to complete part 2 of the Christmas shopping! (In case you wonder, part 1 was in Europe!). Then it was off to Rivervale Mall.
And after a mad speeding rush, it was off to Church to get ready for Caroling, leave Matz at home to wrap the mountain of presents! She was exhausted after that! Thanks Dear! :)
Caroling was awesomely great this year - a different Spirit in the air! And thank God for His miracle. It started drizzling, but somehow in the midst of that God provided a rainbow to remind us of His faithfulness and the rain stopped!
Everything was really raw at the caroling, but it was honest, heart-felted service from people who genuinely love God - youth and adults, different services coming together to bless the Sin Ming community, and hopefully for many to hear about Jesus! In fact one of the dialect service brothers shared that one of the residents might come to visit us this sunday! PTL! Many thanks for all those who contributed: JW, Huijun, Christine, Caiqing....and to all who came - you were a blessing!
Then once caroling was done, it was the mini-makan organised by Aunty Farren. Good time of fellowship and food. Somehow, the beehoon was particularly outstanding! Ultra-fragrant! Yummy! Haha!
As if that was not enough, we still had a Christmas Youth Service, it's something special and kudos to Isaac and Joy! Perhaps the greatest gift on Christmas day is knowing and loving Jesus all over again :) It was great to see so many and some especially who haven't come in a long while :) There's nothing better to celebrate Jesus than being with Him in His house :)
My goodness the list is long! After service we had the Z2 gift exchange organised by Shalom. I think it was something well-needed. You can give something without loving, but you can't love someone without giving! Regardless of how it's done, I think everyone still wants to receive something for Christmas - I know I do! :):)
Then then...the Midnite Madness Supper Run began! Jalan Kayu, Boon Lay, Geylang. Of course I skipped the Boon Lay :P
But nothing compares to playing Lan at 5 AM in the morning!! Darn we lost but nevermind! I got my membership card, so we better play again!! :)
Then finally after sending them home it was 645am and time for a nap! I say nap cos I couldn't possibly sleep till late - so much more for today to do! Hehe breakfast was Famous Amos cookies with Matz :)
All in all, it was a great day, but nothing greater than knowing we tried to use every possible opportunity to share about You Jesus :) You're the reason for everything and my prayer before this day ends is for more lost souls to receive the gift of You today, in every Church, every outreach, every single opportunity.
We love You, Jesus :)

Eve of Christmas Eve!
We are sorry for the late of updates. A tad slight embarrassed maybe because it has been an event-filled year end thus far. Loads of love and joy to share! More updates will come we hope.
Till then, have a merry and blessed eve of Christmas eve! :) Be Jolly, be Merry, but dun forget the REAL reason for Christmas. And nope, it's not the turkey, neither is it the ribs. It's the One who was sent for us some 2 thousand years ago. The One who loves us so much.
