We even have a Christmas tree . . .

Yesterday we went shopping over at the World Cup Stadium. We had heard that it had been turned into a shopping mall. Sure enough - we found a huge grocery and department store surrounded by many smaller shops. As we explored, we found a very small display of Christmas decorations. The stores here do not seem to commercialize Christmas like we do in the US. Actually it is quite nice. But anyway, we were looking at the decorations when a polite young clerk, who spoke perfect English, asked if we needed help. She directed us to a sale item - a 3 foot artificial Christmas tree for $5.00. What a deal !! So with ornaments and lights we spent less than $25.00. Nothing is cheap here in Seoul -- but we got a cheap Christmas tree. God is so gracious.

As we look at this special little tree, we are reminded daily of God's constant provision for us. We hope you will join us this Christmas in celebrating, with joyful and grateful hearts, Jesus' birthday and all the blessings that God has given us. Merry Christmas !
