On 1.1.2017, we went to a church we hadn't visited before for Sunday service and got to talk to some new brothers and sisters in Christ there. Ate really yummy "dian bian hu" (Foochow delicacy) and welcomed grandpa, aunt & uncle from SA.
Grandpa followed cousin D to the swimming pool and I had to document this historical moment (i've never seen grandpa swim before. Ha!)
I pray that I can begin the new year with faith, hope, and love & to apply these advice from Thomas A Kempis:
"As long as thou livest, thou art subject to change, even against thy will; so that thou art at one time merry, then sad; at one time quiet, then troubled; now devout, then worldly; now diligent, then listless; now grave, and presently light-hearted.
But he that is wise and well instructed in the spirit standeth firm upon these changeable things; not heeding what he feeleth in himself, or which way the wind of instability bloweth; but that the whole intentnion of his mind may tend to the right and best end.
For thus he will be able to continue one and the self-same, and unshaken, in the midst of so many various events directing continually the single eye of his intention unto me."
