Christmas

Well, I guess I haven’t been much cop in writing each week. It’s not that I don’t think of everybody I guess you just get involved in life.

Life in Hong Kong goes by at quite a pace really. I’m enjoying the hustle bustle. Work keeps me fairly busy, which is a good thing.

Two weeks ago Nick, Christal and Kayli braved taking me to see Shawn Mendes. It was an experience and one I really enjoyed. Though, I’ll admit to feeling a little out of place with teenage girls all screaming around me, I guess I would have been the same at their age.

However, the night was enjoyed by all, and I have now been educated on who Shawn Mendes is, there may be hope for me yet. 😄😄😄

Christmas is tomorrow and it’ll be the first Christmas for me without mum and dad so what to do. I needed to make it feel Christmasy in the flat so here’s my attempt

To be honest I’m quite happy with the finished results. However when you compare it to Elements Shopping Mall that puts it to shame.

Isn’t it incredible. It was so nice seeing all the children enjoying the characters.

However, in this materialistic world it is hard sometimes to remember that we are celebrating the birth of the Son of God. The ultimate gift. Not wrapped elaborately in bright rich paper but as a baby born in a stable (one that was probably smelly and cold) and put in a manger (a feeding trough). He didn’t come in glory or as the people had wanted but He came to save us, to comfort the broken and lost. To guide us all to the light and love of our true Father.

2017 has been an interesting year and God may at times feel far away but know that He is working all for our good. May 2018 be a year of healing, of peace and love to you all.

God bless.
