Christmas gift in January

An enjoyable Christmas gift

One of the Christmas gift given to Erling and myself surprised and exited us both. We got an invitation card from a nice young couple in the church, Eli and Werner. They wanted to bless us by serving us dinner and they also wanted to get to know us better. We could choose a day in January and yesterday was a good day for all four of us.
We arrived to their nice home at Nesttun to “open” and enjoy the gift. Eli and Werner have been married for 1 ½ years but have already managed to by a house of their own. They have rented out one part of the house. They are both studying but Eli has also got a small job.So they are busy but doing fine.
They gave us a delicious, homemade dinner which we enjoyed very much. Afterwards we had freshly brewed coffee and tea and sweet ice cream. We had a good time of fellowship and talking together. We talked about many things, also about marriage and they were interested to know of our experience, being married 40 years more than them! We had a good time, I think all of us enjoyed it. It is so refreshing being with young people, we can all benefit from it and I think the younger generation get something in return being with the older ones.
The time in good company went fast and we had to say good bye, being so much enriched and blessed by Eli and Werner, this young, lovely couple.
The good thing is that this kind of Christmas gifts can be given all year through!
