A Time for Everything

"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven." Ecc 3

Anita enjoyed reflecting on this passage from the Boxing Day sermon as she visited a local church. It was so good to know the sovereignty of God and to trust HE has made everything beautiful in its time.

Knowing there is a time for everything, the Chan's household had made use of the unpredictable change in Reg's body to make the best of their Christmas. They praised God for the miraculous turnaround when Reg managed to take food in without feeling sick. So when he felt better, they took the opportunity to go outdoor for fresh air and had fun in the nearby park.

There is a time for everything, Reg got tired very soon! They went home for lunch. Reg made a request to have hamburger for lunch. With the fear that Reg would get turned off by the food once it is cooked, Anita did her best to grant his wish. Thankfully, Reg ate it and liked it and so did Jed.

The short trip to the park was enough for Reg to take 2 hours nap in the afternoon, while Anita played with Jed and prepared the Christmas dinner at the same time.

Even both Reg and Jed had limited food range, Anita managed to cook and serve variety of food in time for the arrival of Reg's mum and sisters. Reg got excited because his turkey was a success and he even managed to eat some. Unfortunately, both Reg and Jed missed out on the lobster dish. Yet Jed could not get his eyes off his contribution (the Christmas cookies) and he even took a picture to proof this was his favorite! (YES! Jed took that piture)

We did enjoy a nice Christmas meal with family and we were so glad to see Reg eating again. His temperature did rise to 37.7 at night, but we thank God that it did not go up to 38.

The next couple of days will be when Reg's immunity reach the lowest point, and we really pray nothing happens. However, we rejoice the time we had in these two days. And we look forward for 2010 to pass and with new hope, we await for the new year to come.

May everyone has a blessed New Year!
