Sunday morning saw us drive to Watoto Central for their 9am service. Following the usual worship, we were blessed by the Children's Christmas Cantata.
The story revolved around the work of Malika, the angel charged with the responsibility of preparing everything for Jesus's birth. Interestingly the word Malika is Lugandan for 'angel'.
In the story she was given the following quests - to ensure the wise men found the Star of Bethlehem; that Mary and Joseph enjoyed safe passage to Bethlehem; and that the Inn Keeper provided accommodation for the pending birth.
Interwoven throughout the story was the theme of how God uses unassuming things (even a donkey) to carry out His purposes and plans. The challenge was certainly presented that God is on the lookout for men, women, boys and girls who are willing to be used by God and of God. There was also mention made of the truth that God has a plan for each one of us and to work within that brings great blessing for everyone involved.
Following church we walked to the nearby craft market where we bought a few gifts for family and friends.
Nearly three hours later I was ready for lunch and a little sleep - I managed lunch!
