14th Feb 09, this is our first valentine day celebration together as a married couple in another country. Though Loong wanted to surprise me with a reservation at a hotel(don't think too highly of hotels here okie hahahaha) but when he saw the cost per person, think that reminded him of me nagging of too pricey :P
Anyway, I prepared dinner in advanced. Supposing to get chicken thighs, my dear husband got chicken meat in cubes... anyway I managed to turn this around so instead of getting a nice big piece of chicken thigh grilled on the plate, is all in cubes... Loong arranged the food on the plate so nicely and with a nice candle set on the dinner table, the atmosphere changes. (By the way there was no electricity too...)
So 2 nice plates of food - sweet onion chicken grilled, mashed potatoes, carrots and zukinis at the side and dessert wine. (Will show u the pictures in the next post)
Loong's commend:
" The chicken was very good! But the company is even better... " (mushy mushy)
Most importantly is, Loong was sharing about what the Lord spoke to him about being content whereas, the Lord has impressed on my heart is not to store up earthly treasures rather be a blessing to others espeacially in M.
Today at the international ch. the msg was on Living our Lives as though we are dying. Meaning, live a life to the fullness for G. and for others... though we faced lots of culture shocks, instead of staying at our shock stage, move on... think about J.C who came down and faced lots of cross-culture issues too... and it is fine for us to feel cross-culture shocks bcos indeed we do not belong to this earth, we are just strangers/aliens living here for a short while and soon we will be returning to heaven... I personally thk G. for this reminder and to want to live my life to the fullness together with my husband, serving till we leave this earth...
Its a privilege to be serving the King of kings and Lord of lords...
