Merry Christmas and New Year 2022
“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven” (Ecc.3:1 NKJV)
How grateful we are for those of praying parties and beloved friends who
have kept us in their caring over the year passed and coming by.
While the Covid-19 impacts are detrimental to our lives on the
globe, nonetheless, Christmas remains as the real light of everlasting truth
and hope of salvation for all those who believe in the resurrected Jesus Christ
as a savior, joyfully adore Him in the humble manger of Bethlehem.
I am so well and enjoyed a reasonable year and sending to greeting
by this SNS (blog, FB, twitter, Instagram, and e-mail) this year though I
always prefer to see you face to face or write "real" cards at least.
Our three children have grown up and are doing their best independently at home and abroad. The eldest son got married last summer. Now he continues his research life in the United States. After studying abroad at a graduate school in the Netherlands for four years, our second son has been active as a design researcher in the world and is pushing his way. Our daughter also got married this fall. And she continues to work as a social worker in the hospital.
Because the children left the nest, Yukiyo and Katsunobu
"graduated from childcare". So, we are just beginning to move on to a
new stage in life.
It looks like the tough days will continue in this new year, but I
pray for the protection and blessings from Him for everyone.
God bless you, Shalom from Kyoto, Japan
Katsunobu & Yukiyo, Kihara
