One Year With Jesus

December 21st, 2004 - Tuesday

One year ago today, while my neighbours gathered to roll tang yuan (glutinous rice flour dumplings) and celebrated Dong Zhi (Winter Solstice Festival) communally, my cousin Anna came with Anne. I had called Anna earlier telling her I wanted to learn more about the Christian way of life. This followed the vow I made just before Mum died. I listened attentively as Anne introduced Jesus and his teachings to me. Thus began my catechism of the Roman Catholic doctrines.

    Thank you and thank you. That was a meaningful day for me.
