Cancer Recurrence

I received this e-mail from Brother M.T. Hung:

"... I need your daily prayer support. I got rectum-colon cancer, about 10cm large. The surgeon made an artificial anus of me.

My long term chemo therapy and radiation therapy has just started. Months later a major operation will cut out the malignant tumor. There is also cancer spot in my right lung and liver.

Please pray for me and my wife, who is having a hard time taking are of me at hospital and at home. Thank you very much... "

Please pray for God's peace and healing power be with Brother M. T. Hung and his families.

Christmas Decoration 聖誕飾物

These two types of plant are used for Christmas decoration too.
Nandina Domestica or Heavenly Bamboo, originally from China and Japan, a symbol for good luck. The red berries are winter food for birds. (Description on left).

這種天南竹又名天竺可用來作聖誕過年裝飾物。在中國和日本, 天南竹被視爲吉祥的花木種在庭園中增吉兆。紅果子作鳥類冬天的食品。(看左邊說明)。

Poinsettia plant, also called Christmas Flower or Christmas Star. Having poisonous milk and showy yellow flowers, do not let your kid or pets eat or play with it.

聖誕紅又稱為聖誕花或聖誕星。它有毒奶液和小黃花蕾, 別讓小孩或寵物去吃或玩弄它。

Christmas Holly 聖誕聖樹

Our Christmas Hollies, red shining berries and dark green leaves, are ready for Christmas decoration. The holly tree symbolizes Jesus' suffering for us. The red berries represent the drops of blood He shed on the cross; the prickly leaves remind us of the crown of thorns the Roman soldiers placed on His head. Let us celebrate our Savior's birth with a thankful heart.
