Sunday mish mash 1/2019

According to the Chinese Lunar calendar, today is the 6th day of Chinese New Year and it falls on a Sunday. Woke up early and prepared for church. 
 Pretty altar flower at the church.
*     *     *     *     *
The day before (Saturday), I had the following for lunch and dinner.
 I cooked a simple chicken soup for lunch with whatever left over ingredients I could find in the fridge. I prefer to clear my fridge from all the small containers holding these left over ingredients.
 For dinner, I ordered a plate of chewy Yam Abacus to share with friends.
 Saturday's evening sky - 6:55 pm.
 7:15 pm
 - same as above -
 On the opposite side.
Saw this in the coffee shop where we had our breakfast this morning.
Most of our young ones have gone back to work after the celebration and many more will resume work on tomorrow (Monday). The 15 days CNY celebration will end on 19 Feb 2019.

Sound the trumpet!
Come to the joyous celebrations at full moon,
new moon, and all the other holidays.
(Psalm 81:3, The Living Bible-TLB)

      To be more exact it should be 16 days including the reunion dinner celebration.

    Very pretty flowers for church, and pretty skies, too. Taking all the leftovers and making a soup usually turns out a wonderful meal, doesn’t it.

      But these days, most of us do not observe all the traditions of the whole celebration.
