On the 21st December last year 2019 which was a Saturday, we drove to Taiping to attend a wedding ceremony and dinner. It usually takes about an hour's drive but on that day, it took about double the time to reach.
We didn't expect such heavy traffic when we entered the expressway. Fortunately, even though the traffic was heavy, at least it was moving but at a slower pace.
The weather was fine and not too hot for travelling.
As we neared the church, it rained. Thank God we found a space to park our car just opposite the church. We reached just in time before the wedding ceremony started.

After the wedding ceremony, we had some time to spare before the dinner starts. We took a drive out to Taiping town.
As hubby drove, I took these photos.
Praying that it would not rain as we will be driving back to Ipoh after the dinner.

Thank God for journey mercy and we reached home safely about 10 pm.

Christ also suffered.
He died once for the sins of all us guilty sinners
although he himself was innocent of any sin at any time,
that he might bring us safely home to God.
But though his body died, his spirit lived on, ...
(1 Peter 3:18, The Living Bible-TLB)
