So much fun

Hi friends

We just got back from a trip to the Glendale "Americana" - which is true to its name, an all American shopping experience: 100ft Christmas tree, fake snow, tram rides, Santa's grotto, dancing fountains, and Bing Crosby still dreaming of a white Christmas!It doesn't get more fake than this... but it was all exceptionally well done.

Carys was simply over-awed... and I must admit, despite the glitz, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Desperately sad to think that this is all that most people have to enjoy. A few short lived pleasures, and then wrath to come! So wonderful on the other hand to realize that Christ has saved us, and also given "all good things for our enjoyment"! With heaven ahead... all these little pleasures just become reminders of the wonders God has prepared for us in the life to come. Wish you were here with us to share in the fun... seeing Carys' delight was

such a thrill.
