On January 3, Dr. Vic and his gorgeous wife Babsi hosted a "cheese and wine" evening at their charming house in BF Homes , QC . The coming together was more than just eating cheese and drinking fine wines – it was a fellowship of people who have stuck together through the years and bonded with each other beyond common interest, common goals , or common histories. What happened that night shaped a large part of personal updates and memories about joy in serving . Mostly, we reminisced about the many out of town services we did under Jun & Angie then our passionate household leaders. We created beautiful memories that reminded us about spiritual companionship and camaraderie we shared with each other as laborers in the Lord’s vineyard . We remembered them with delight and gratitude . This special moment stood out as vivid reminder of the good, old days in community.
Also, that night we learned something new about matching cheese and wine .Dr. Vic ( a renowned London trained Psychiatrist who has a passion for fine wine and good cheese ) took time to share and talk lengthily about the harmony existing between the two. According to him, both have a great deal in common. They should have similar intensities. There should always be a balance - cheese should be paired with similar wine and delicate cheese should be paired with lighter wine.
Undeniably, the affair was one opportunity to acknowledge the value of maintaining and strengthening ties . Like wine and cheese that exist in harmony, our relationship with one another can be compared to the friendship between the wine and cheese- sparkling, spirited and steadfast.
As for the delectable cheeses, fine wines and the wide variety of tasty finger foods and snacks, everyone enjoyed the night immensely.
Cheers to friendship ! Cheers to a lasting commitment to do God's service- be it great or be it small !
