In the truest sense, God is gracious.
I was pretty upset about not spending Christmas in its true meaning. I grumbled and whined and complained. God probably heard, and couldn't stand me.
So He "saved" my Christmas; thanks to my brother in-law, and my father in-law; and my father-in-law is not even a Christian.
My father in-law recently went through a bout of illness. That probably set us thinking about our own mortality; the frailty of life. He decided that we (my wife's family) should spend the festive holiday together as a family, including his god-daughter, whom I met the first time. So we spent three nights and four days drifting in the strait of Malacca. We had good food, plenty of rest, some time off shore in Langkawi and Singapore; but most of all, we had lots and lots of time together as a family.
