A typical Saturday for us

Lately our Saturday mornings have been reserved for ministry meetings - church-plant ministry team meetings, PReP meetings (Pre-Relationship Program which is like Pre-Marital Counselling for singles is committed relationships), counselling one-on-one sessions...and so on).  Not long ago, our Saturdays were usually filled with visits to the local outdoor markets or hang outs at the beach with many of our non-Christian friends, and I do miss those times...But I know that this is just a busy season of our church life as the Lord has been adding people to our family little by little.  We just want to be positioned in a good place so as to minister well to all who come into the fold of the family of God.

Since Jim is still quite busy on Saturday afternoons with sermon-prep and what not, our outings usually involve going out to lunch.  Today, for example, we went out for Yum Cha (or Dim Sum as we call it in the U.S.) which I have been craving for a while.  Isn't it nice that the hubs lets me pick what I want to eat? The great thing about Yum Cha is that there are plenty of things that my semi-picky Eleanor can enjoy, like prawns, tofu, rice...

After Yum Cha as we strolled the outdoor plaza where the restaurant was located, we ran into some people we knew from another church who were running a used-goods sale stall.  I love a good bargain so I quickly looked at the toys and children' section and picked up a few goodies with Eleanor, such as...

I love a good bargain!

Happy weekend everyone! :)
