Married for five years

In another two week's time will be our fifth wedding anniversary! As a couple, we would like to

thank God for each other. 
Despite that we have made many mistakes and did things (which we have regretted after that) to hurt each other; we are glad that the Lord has sustained us. He gives us love and grace to forgive each other. He gives us strength and patience to move on. As a wife,  I am always grateful for my hubby; he is truly a supportive, patient and loving husband. Thank you, dar ;)

thank God for the son.
Having Zhi Hang in our life reminds us how much God loves us! For Zhi Hang has brought so much joy into our life! Even though bringing him up and teaching him according to the ways of the Lord are always challenging; but his hugs and kisses, tears and kind words have never failed to warm our hearts. We love you, son :)

thank God for bad times.
We are reminded by the verse in 1 Peter 1: 7, "These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."(NIV) For we believe that it is through these tough times that   our faith in God is made stronger.

thank God for good times and good people.
As a family who only depends on the husband's income, we can only declare that it is by God's providence that we could go through this year quite comfortably. We always feel that we are not lack of anything and are contented with the little that we have. God sent many kind people to pass us 'hand-me-down' clothing for the boy; many wise ladies have also passed us the recipes which not only help us to enjoy nice meals, but have also helped us to cut our spendings!

thank God for kind family members.
Thank God for how our parents' support through helping us to look after Zhi Hang, especially when both Eric and myself are busy with work and studies. They are so kind!

It is good to always take stock of what the Lord has done in our life; and because we have counted the blessings every year, it never fails to encourage us.  This also spurs us on to make it our aim to live our life to honor Him!
