A Family Reunion! 觀兮天籟 (馬武督山莊)

#2013-0829

Since Antony started serving at the Holy Trinity Church (in Keelung) as a xiusheng [修生 or "church intern"], there have been much less opportunities for him and me to have father-and-son free chats. He comes home only once a week, each time spending only one night with us -- his family. So it's becoming more important that he and I (as well as all other family members) should cherish all the possible moments for being together and sharing something with each other.

Now that the Holy Trinity had decided to come to Ma Wu Du (馬武督) for a two-day retreat, Antony gave me a phone call, saying that we who are his family were also welcome to join the event. "Don't you think it's a good chance for us to meet and chat again?" asked Antony. And I said, "Sure! It would be a delightful country retreat for us all." That's why yesterday Jean and I took Anita and Little Bee to Ma Wu Du, in Guanxi, Hsinchu County, where we have all stayed for one night plus one morning, and had a wonderful time during "the blissful family reunion."
