Having fun planning for Christmas?
Hope your celebrations are wonderful family times and spiritually sweet to reflect on our Saviour's birth!
Today I found the BEST way to run errands!
Put on Christmas hats, give neighbor kids song sheets of Christmas songs, and drive around town delivering or picking up all the things that need to be handed off.
We brought smiles everywhere we went and it was SOOO much fun!
Julie, Victoria's Filipina maid helped me by baking all the gingerbread men for our neighborhood caroling tomorrow. Victoria is back in USA and Julie has some extra time. Bless her for offering to help me out!
The kids helped me decorate today and we'll pass these cookies out as we sing around the neighborhood tomorrow night.
To get ready for the big adventure of Christmas Caroling in Clementi, we sang our way around downtown prepping for the official party. Along with 4 other stops on my errands, we stopped by Annette Foster's and sang for her. If Lyn had been home, we'd have come by next door at the Collonade! We rolled the windows down and cranked the music up. The "Lost Kidz" started wishing people MERRY CHRISTMAS as we drove down the road, and were tickled that so many waved back with huge smiles!
Tomorrow night I have no idea how many are coming to sing.
Probably about 20, all ages and races.
Tonight a Malay barber I'd never met before asked if he can come singing with us.
The neighbors who work in the shops downstairs are looking forward to whatever it is...and happy to know that Yi Hui is part of it. I'm praying that it's just the right number. Not to many to overwhelm the neighbors, but a perfect picture of the Body of Christ and what heaven is going to be like. I know that whatever happens is going to be a springboard for a lot of sharing with neighbors in the coming year.
