God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

Chinese New Year 2016

We had a great time celebrating Chinese New Year, the year of the monkey.  We decorated the house with all the crafts we made for previous New Years.  I made sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, rice, we had Asian pears, and we had our dragon desserts (one of our favorites).  After dinner the kids got to open their red envelopes.  They got chocolate coins wrapped in gold wrappers.  The kids were very excited!
