Welcome to the Family

Welcome to the family

We’re glad that you have come

To share your life with us

As we grow in love

And may we always be to you

What God would have us be

A family always there

To be strong and to lean on

May we learn to love each other

More with each new day

May words of love be on our lips

In everything we say

May the spirit melt our hearts

And teach us how to pray

That we might be

A true family

Welcome to the family

We’re glad that you have come

To share your life with us

As we grow in love

And may we always be to you

What God would have us be

A family always there

To be strong and to lean on

This has been one of my favourite songs as a kid. I remembered this song from Psalty’s kids’ praise. We used to listen to it all day. Till everyone got sick of it. But actually, that’s not quite true, never got sick of Psalty. Went to church yesterday and truly felt God’s presence. This song was playing when we got there. As I sat there with Babe, I started thinking of my life and my family. I truly want to thank God for giving me a wonderful family, Babe’s family and my family of friends.

This song means a lot to me. I have to admit that in my family of friends, there are some that are still not in the fold of Christ. But I’ll continue to pray for them. God has truly been great! He has given me more than just a family, more than just mere friends. He has given me so much. Like the song, a family always there, to be strong and to lean on. Family, thanks and my family of friends who are also in my friendship bus, thanks for being there all the time. Sometimes I wonder, what would I do without them! They have been so instrumental in every stage of my life.

Had friends over for dinner last night. It felt nice. HK is becoming more like home. Andrew, Marina and Hendrik came. They’re helping us to prepare for parenthood. Hendrik is our 'training baby'. Astor and Melissa, Babe’s good friend came over too. And Tania, a good friend that I’ve not since for about 2 years. I met her in Gold Coast more than 10 years ago. We used to work together and had lots of fun. It was nice to meet up and catch up again.
