Christmas at the Wong house


Edmund and Alice had a wonderful Christmas Day, surrounded by many family and friends who came to visit. Lunch was typical Hong Kong style - delicious and plentiful. We expect to be eating the leftovers for many days to come!

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking with the Lord. Across the
sky flashed scenes of his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the
sand; one belonged to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the
sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of
footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it, "Lord, you said that once I
decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the
most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand
why, when I needed you most, you would leave me."

The Lord replied, "My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was
then that I carried you."
