In a former Post I wrote about the annoyance of  Christmas music in shopping centers. I must say there are some songs which are clear worship to God. "Joy to the world…" I have never celebrated Christmas so many times and told the Christmas story to so many people before. The reason is that I spent several days in the mountains visiting the Lahu villages we are working in. We distributed one hundred blankets and loads of presents. I did about 6 hours of Christmas caroling in Lahu (I still don’t know what I sang though). My family came also up for a night to celebrate in Hui Kau Laam. We had a great time.
Yesterday evening we spent at home as a family, ate Swiss fondue, red the Christmas story, sang some Christmas songs, prayed together and of course opened a lot of presents. Christmas can be very stressful. Still I don’t want to miss it. it is a special time as a family and it is good to remember that God send his son Jesus to be with us.
Today we had a lazy day. Coffee in bed and time well spent as a family. In Thailand the Christmas days are just ordinary days, business as usual. Tomorrow we will go for a Christmas dinner with some friends, before it is back to work.
To all of you readers. I wish you God’s peace and a time of rest.
