A day of Snow
I am not sure about the situation in Malaysia. Over here, the word ‘Merry Christmas’ is getting less and less. It is replaced by ‘happy holiday, holly joylly holiday, and yadiyeddah,,,,,whatever!!!’ Why do people replace Merry Christmas with all these words that make no sense? The word Christmas is originated as a compound meaning of Christ’s Mass. It is derived from the Middle English Christemasse and Old English Cristes mæsse, a phrase first recorded in 1038. It means celebration of Christ. People are trying to take away the Star of Christmas, Jesus Christ, from Christmas. We as a Christian, do we celebrate our Christmas with Jesus. To remind you and myself, celebrate our Christmas everyday with Jesus Christ as the main character in our life story.
Dec 10 2008 was my final exam day also a day that God rewarded me with snow. It was because He said that I am a good girl; I did very well on my final. Hahah whatever!!!! Dec 10, was the day that I first saw snow, OH,,,,,what a wonderful God. God is such a fine designer. Every little drop of snowflake, which does not bigger than a millimeter, has its own design. When I saw the snow, I was not only thank God for the snow, but also for His great creation. Thank God for taking care of every detail of every small little thing that might be “now you see, now you don’t.” We are the only creature that God created with spirit; therefore, God will sure take care of us more that anything else. Let celebration His creation with Jesus Christ as the main character….

感恩,重新得力
很多時候我們都會把這段時間看成為是一個感恩的季節,
我們會在這時段來到數算上帝在這一年裡頭在我們的生命當中的恩典.
但是也有一些在我們當中的,在這一年的結束時會感到很疲憊.
他們無法清楚的看見上帝在他生命當中的工作,無法來到數算上帝的恩典.
你是否就是那一位感到疲乏無力的,感到自己離開上帝好遠好遠的呢?你是否覺得自己對上帝爸爸感到陌生了呢?
還有一個星期,2008年就結束了,2009年也悄悄的來到了.
2008年的結束,就讓這一切都結束,把一切的疲憊無力感都放在2008年.
2009年,就讓我們重新的從上帝爸爸那裡支取一股新的力量來到面對我們新的生活.
讓我們這2008年與2009年的交替的時刻,不但成為一個感恩的季節,也是我們重新得力的季節!
與大家分享兩首詩歌
當你走到無力
當你走到無力繼續下去,
當你感到寂寞困惱空虛,
只要相信神隨時扶助你,
願助你解開困惑拋開痛悲。
當你跑到疲乏難再下去,
當你感到疑惑說我是誰,
只要相信神完全明白你,
就讓你伸手接受祂深愛你。
(副歌)
別害怕祂知你難受,
擔當軟弱與困憂,
不需再懼怕,耶穌必拯救,
願你開口接受張開你手。
別害怕祂知你難受,
擔當軟弱與困憂,
不需再懼怕,耶穌必拯救,
讓你一生快樂展翅高飛,一個全新的你。
WE ARE THE REASON 祂為了我們
As little children 小的時候
We would dream of Christmas morn 我們夢想聖誕節 在美麗的早晨
Of all the gifts and toys,We knew we'd find 有玩具禮物
But we never realized 但我們從沒想過
A baby born one blessed night 有個嬰孩的誕生
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives 賜我們最偉大 生命的禮物
We were the reason 祢為了我們
That He gave His life 付出了生命
We were the reason 祢為了我們
That He suffered and died 釘死在十架上
To a world that was lost 為迷失的世人
He gave all He could give 祢付出一切
To show us the reason to live 賜我們生命真諦
As the years went by 長大以後
We learned more about gifts 我們學習更明白
The giving of ourselves And what that means 思想我們自己是什麼意義
On a dark and cloudy day 在烏雲黑暗的那天
A man hung crying in the rain 祂哭喊掛在十架
All because of love, all because of love 全都是因為愛 為了愛
I've finally found the reason for living 我終於明白活著的原因
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him 就是把整個人全顆心獻於你
In all that I do every word that I say 做的一切和說的每句話,
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him 我把所有一切全獻於他

The true meanings of Christmas!!
Thanks LORD for making us realised the true meanings of Christmas is YOU, JESUS CHRIST!!

如果我是一只小鸟
现在与大家分享!!!
话一出口,他就后悔了。不该这么说的;何不就明白告诉她,不想陪她去的原因,一点儿不是怕她唠叨;妻整个晚上也不过向他提了一次圣诞夜的崇拜。她真心期盼,这他感觉得出来。
他应该向妻解释得够清楚了。妻一向静静流露对耶稣的爱;他百分百赞成这耶稣的伟大,说不定是有史以来最伟大的。可是,要说耶稣是神的儿子,甚至说祂本身就是神––这未免太过份了!他发誓真的不想伤妻的心,可是又无法违背自己的推理。
「对不起,」他换了更柔和的语调,出来帮妻拉起车库的门,「我就是无法当个心口不一的伪君子。如果妳能够指点我,一次就够了──上帝为什么要变成人──我 一定乐意奉陪。可是……」话就此打住。妻也曾试过几次,婉转地想说服他,却都失败了。当妻出门时,他费劲不去想她眼眶中打转的泪水。
妻走后,屋子显得十分安静。晃到客厅、打开电视,随手又关上。走进饭厅,景色如画的窗外,正开始起风。片片雪花横飞,扫过他的视线,他几乎看不清鸟儿喂食器的踪影了。在后院照明灯的微光下,看得出是一场不小的风雪。他打个寒颤,转身进厨房,冲了一杯热可可。
不知什么东西让他又转了回来,喏,就在眼角的一隅,他看到了那蠕动,不是雪花。原来是一只落单的麻雀,在风寒中觅食,却来不及走避这场瞬间让大地白了头的风雪。
如果能有什么叫他兴奋的,那就非鸟儿莫属了。鸟儿秀美、优雅、纤弱,赏鸟真是一件乐事;连麻雀都不逊色。可是,眼前这一只令他罣怀:显然出了麻烦。
他在察看的当下,风雪仍没命地刮着,疾劲十足。他发现原来在暴风雪中迷了路的还不止一只,是一整群哪。此刻这些小东西停留在地,辛苦地想找东西填肚子;他知道它们的下场,如果继续这么下去。
他迅速转身到后廊的衣柜,找到手套穿上靴子,去车库翻出盖得严严密密的鸟食谷物桶。里面有个平日充当舀匙的塑胶碗,此刻他舀了满满一碗,走入屋外的暗夜。
怕吓着这群小东西,他顶着强风慢慢往鸟群踱去,然后把整碗的谷子朝空中撒出,正好可以落在鸟儿四周。只有少少几只鸟儿找了谷子,随即被不断飘洒的雪片掩盖过去。
他又回屋里,这次干脆将整个桶子拎出来,一把接着一把的朝风雪中洒去,却全不奏效。最后他只好放弃,全身酸软不堪,为着这般的徒劳无功而颓丧不已。 「我懂了!」他出声大叫:「把灯打开,把鸟食撒在车库地板!」
回到车库,开了灯,把剩下的鸟食撒满地板。到头来要清理这些可得费一番工夫,但一切值得啊。他又进屋,让车库的门留一条缝隙,好瞧瞧后续的发展。
鸟儿不懂他这主意。明明摆了一地的食物,又可以遮风蔽雨的,却成群留在院子外头。他保证再三、诚意十足的,跑出厨房的后门,来到鸟群背后,想借着吆喝声,把它们赶入车库。结果反而吓到鸟儿,纷纷飞起,躲入树丛中。
他只好回到房里,鸟儿也立刻回到地上,好像知道某处有什么援手已经伸出;可是他一露脸,它们又立刻飞离。他呆立在映照灯色的池边,摇着头,泪水迸涌。
「天哪,它们为什么不能懂?它们需要的东西都在这儿等着,却瞧一眼都不会。如果我有什么办法可以教它们懂,那就好了。如果我是一只鸟儿,就可以领它们进车库来……」
他转个身,车库里暖黄的灯光,横过院子里一株雪白的丝柏,反射出一道银光,正好构成一个十字架。
喔!我的上帝!

巫启贤信主了!
他直认年轻时候的自己自以为有音乐才华,有唱歌能力,所以会因此骄傲起来,但信主之后,他才清楚知道,自己是何德何能,“我没有学过音乐也没有受过歌唱训练,这些原是天父给我的能力,我的使命就是用自己的才华做音乐,让自己成为一个有影响的人,也让我更有魅力去演唱福音歌曲,让我更清楚自己的方向!”他承认当年的自己自以为是,“我到了44岁终于明白人是如何的渺小,卑微....其实每个人都有自己的任务及使命....”
在音乐分享布道会里,巫启贤向在场朋友透露了自己信主的过程,巫启贤因为在去年3月小女儿发生一次的意外,在医院昏迷两天后,神迹苏醒,让他与太太决心全心侍奉天父的主要原因....受到天父的感召,与太太彭美君一起受洗成为基督徒。信主之后的他,在一次的诚意祷告后,把二十多年的烟瘾戒掉,让他成为太太心目中的偶像,女儿眼中的“香爸爸”。他说:“我之前一天要抽两包烟,抽到自己也有点讨厌了....虽然曾经尝试戒烟,却因为自己的软弱而失败了....”他笑言说现在终于成功戒掉了!
成 为基督徒后的他,也开始写了福音歌曲,他创作的第一首福音歌曲《荣耀荣耀今看见》.他有感而发的说:"我现在才发现,以前写的很多歌曲,原来都与主有关 系."信主之后的巫启贤,表现谦和,以往的那股傲气荡然无存,他说现在的自己进入了人生的另一个阶段,"我找到了人生的道路了,接下来是要怎样去完成这人 生的新阶段,我会用时间来侍奉主."

My Heart, Your Home
Come and make my heart Your home
Come and be everything I am and all I know
Search me through and through
‘Till my heart becomes a home for You
A home for You, Lord
A home for You, Lord
Let everything I do open up
A door for You to come through
And that my heart would be a place
Where You want to be…
You are my portion, filling up everything
You are the fortune, that’s causing my heart to sing
That it’s amazing…
That You could make Yourself at home with me

你要休息,要知道我是神
在你的身边曾经, 或许正在发生着惊天动地的事.
我们的理想和梦想, 不知怎的好像总是跟钱分不开? 我常有听到这样的话(包括我自己) : "现在经济不好, 还是"看定点先“, 才来做打算(计划)".
我个人非常重视事前规划, 再配合预算内的资金和资源, 我相信这样才能推动计划, 达成理想和梦想.
但人生不如意十常八九, 如在旷野行路,或大海行舟,难免常常会遭遇一些出乎意料的困难与挑战. 诗46里, 诗人也描述"..地改变, 山摇动到海心... 外邦喧嚷,列国动摇..."
曾有经验丰富的老者对我笑谈风浪,细说当年的挑战, 轻描淡写的描述被敌人围攻的事迹. 这些都让我近年来,对我们的老前辈更额外的尊敬。回想少年时的轻狂和骄傲,对长辈心常有不尊敬的心态, 真不知天高地厚.
但神所能给的更是超越了经验, 因为在地动山摇当中, 上帝说祂”必帮助这城”. 更难想象的, 是祂还吩咐我们说 “你们要休息, 要知道我是神”.
需知道, 要做到这样, 是需要何等的信心啊!
我自问自己未能在敌人临门的时刻, 很难不会“多加一刻忧虑”. 但神的美意乃要我们得平安, 在灵里能够“休息”(Be still), 能得着镇静与安息. 我相信这样, 才能沉着应付风浪.
一起来享受神的安静吧!
p/s : 这08-Dec 到10-Dec, 我一家人也参加了教会的退休营会. 好好“休息”

12月1日的星星月亮
這兩張是台灣拍的!
這張就是在馬來西亞拍的!!!
12月1日晚上的天空好特別,出現了笑臉!原來天空也會微笑!!!星星和月亮真的為這個天空點綴了不少的色彩!他不只是對著一個國家的百姓微笑,而是對著許許多多不同國家,不同種族的百姓微笑!剛才致電給台灣的朋友,本來是想要叫他們也看看這美麗的天空,但是他們都說已經看了!!!其實我也不知道台灣是否看得到,就只是想跟他們分享這份的喜悅!!!不單只是馬來西亞看得到這樣的奇景,台灣也看得到!!!奇妙,奇妙,上帝的創造真的很奇妙喔!
剛才接到一個朋友的電話,她好傷心,在電話裡向我哭述,但我卻不懂得如何的安慰她!!!本來還以為她打電話給我,是想要叫我看月亮,但過後才知道不是!在掛電話之前,我叫她去看看那懂得微笑的天空,我不知道他有沒有看!但我相信如果她看了,她的心情就會好起來了!如果沒有看的話,我也相信上帝會透過不同的方式來到安慰她!!!

Lazy to read bible
I feel such lost sometimes not seeking Him, not telling Him what was really going on and not praying for His Kingdom, but own needs first. I felt guilty for not praying for the cells or our young people to grow at times.
I feel such confusion about not able to relate His will with my career many times. I feel 'disconnected' from His grace and power over my running of companies, possibly a cause of my own 'self-control' spirit dangling around my soul.
I failed to pray purposefully many often. Sometimes prayer was just merely 'sending a report' to God. I remember sometimes I was praying because I have to, and hoping the action of praying and the word of my mount will motive and encourage others. I learned from my pastors the true thing, that one of the most difficult task as a Christ-follower is to pray purposefully, persistently and with discipline.
I feel I fail to please God many times, because I allow many ungodly thoughts travel in and out my mind and never put a harsh stop to it (them). I felt such agony and tortured sometimes unable to please Him by sanctifying myself from sins and world. All in all, I'm very sure that I'm a sloth and not worth of Jesus dying for me.
However, I choose not to continue to become one, for I'm willing to grow out of my transgression. I will choose to continue to become a better Christ-follower even thought I am not a good one yet. and I will not give up my hope that I can become one because He who paid the price for has already made it possible for me.
I am definitely not yet a man that I was designed to become, but I will want to try to fill myself up according to my designers' specifications and mold. Perhaps more tweaking needed.
life goes on and "growth" is an on-going process ...
Dear friend, have you being growing into your designer's spec lately ?

邀你度過一個書香茶香的午后
書是《房角石書坊》的靈魂。
雖然我們的空間有限,但還是保留了一個小小的閱讀空間。
書架上的書是我精選的好書,也是我的參考書;另有一部份是雨亮的藏書,還有三份一是宣春去了班台後,托我們照顧的書。
這裡的書都很精彩,它們的主人是愛書人,也願意與人分享閱讀的樂趣,歡迎你抽空到這裡,沖一壺茶,讀一本書,讓書香茶香伴著你度過一個清閒的午后,也陪著在辦公室忙著的我們。

房角石書坊
房角石閱覽室和協傳(PTC)的辦公室今年5月開始,從Sri Rampai搬到Desa Setapak(Metro View),不知不覺,快半年了。新的地方地點比較適中,會員或朋友上門也容易多了。唯這裡的空間比Sri Rampai的小,我們一直找不到可以設很多咖啡座的地方,因此這裡將會專注發展成書店,正式取名為《房角石書坊》。我們的招牌將在12月完成,期待到時掛上招牌後,會有更多人光臨拜訪。我們也決定了,從12月起,延長營業時間,從星期一至星期六,上午十時至晚上九時,方便工作的人也能來。
《房角石書坊》主要售賣基督教書藉,大約每三,四個月會有新馬港台的新書,也會有我們PTC自己出版的新書。最新的一批書藉將在下個星期上架,這次有楊腓力的新書《禱告》,和我精選的許多聖誕禮物書,包括路卡杜(Max Lucado)的哦!我都快等不及了!
我們把《房角石書坊》定位為一個推廣閱讀的地方,因此除了書坊裡陳列的書,我們也會盡量協助會員尋找想要的書。
閱讀,是一件美好無比的事,我們期待多做一些事,可以讓更多人愛上閱讀。過去的房角石閱覽室,今天的房角石書坊及12月即將在Melawati 開張的cornerstone book n café,都抱著同樣的心願。

我收到的一则电邮
让我想起, 耶稣是为所有的人上十架的. 我们也应该好好的教导我们的下一代, 能拥有真正的世界观, 希望孩子们能以耶稣的心爱世上每一种人.
在美國,有位白人婦女帶著 6 歲大的兒子出遠門,找來了計程車,司機是位黑人。
這 6 歲的兒子從未見過黑人,心中非常的害怕,就問媽媽:
「 這人是不是壞人,為什麼會長得黑嚕嚕 ?」
黑人司機聽了很難過。
此時白人婦女告訴兒子:「這位司機叔叔,不是壞人,他是一個很好的人。」
兒子沈默半晌再問道:「既然他不是壞人,那他是不是做了什麼壞事,所以天父在懲罰他 ?」
黑人聽了淚水在眼眶中打轉,他很想知道這白人婦女怎樣回答 ?
媽媽說:「他是個很好的人,也沒有做壞事。咱們家花園的花,有紅、有白、有黃... 是不是 ?」
「是啊!是啊 !」
「那花的種子是不是都黑色的 ? 」
孩子想了一下,「對啊!都是黑的。」
「黑色的種子,開出色彩鮮美的花朵,讓這世界多采多姿,是不是 ?」
「是啊!」孩子恍然大悟地說:
「那司機叔叔不是壞人嘍!感謝司機叔叔,您讓這世界多采多姿,我要為您祈禱。」
天真的孩子在一旁禱告著,黑人司機的淚水奪眶而下,心想:
「 身為黑人被世人瞧不起,今日,這位白人婦女如此溫婉地教導孩子,
解除孩子心中對我的恐懼,為我祈禱與祝福。真得好好的謝謝她。」
此時,目的地到了,黑人司機趕緊下車為白人母子開車門,感激的說:
「夫人,謝謝您, 您的一席話,讓我的人生,充滿光明希望,不再晦暗,夫人,謝謝您 !」
很美麗的女子,是不是 ?
這是發生在美國的真實故事。第一次聽到時,深深憾醒沈睡的心。
不止一次的讚嘆這位美麗的女子那高度智慧的言語,教導孩子不要有分別心的同時,更溫暖了傷痕纍纍的心。

蔡琴揭「讀你」秘密 讀的是聖經(台灣醒報報導)
中央社/黃慧敏
有「低音天后」之稱的蔡琴今天揭露了她的招牌歌「讀你」其實讀的是聖經!蔡琴說,「讀你」詞曲創作人梁弘志生前告訴了她這個「秘密」。蔡琴今晚在一場福音活動中,再次演唱了這首歌,全場數萬觀眾跟著應和打拍子,十分熱鬧、溫馨。
「台北葛福臨福音節」第四場晚間在台北中正紀念堂舉行,蔡琴表示,為了今晚唱壓軸的聖歌,她整整禱告了兩天,參加演唱會以來從來沒有這麼緊張過。蔡琴在唱了「被遺忘的時光」和招牌歌「讀你」,還獻上自稱是一百零一首的福音歌曲─「耶穌愛你」。
2003年受洗成為基督徒的蔡琴說,她唱過四百多首歌,錄製了四十張專輯,但她覺得自己在上帝面前好像啞巴,因為一首聖歌都不會唱,大部分的時間,都在做「天涯歌女」。
她表示,雖然她對聖經非常陌生,但覺得上帝很幽默寬大,當她把心轉向上帝,不管唱什麼歌,她都感覺「她的心和上帝一起合唱」。
蔡琴更首度揭開了「讀你」這首膾炙人口歌曲背後的意義。她說,「讀你」、「恰似你的溫柔」的作者梁弘志為天主教徒,離開人世間之前告訴她,「讀你」 讀的不是情歌,讀的是「聖經」!她表示,因為讀聖經,才可以「讀你千遍,也不厭倦」。唱的時候,蔡琴並要求全場跟她一起打拍子合唱。
此外,蔡琴也提到「被遺忘的時光」的歌詞中,是上帝敲打她的窗,是上帝撩動她的琴弦。蔡琴今晚獻上她唯一會唱的聖歌「耶穌愛你」,渾厚的嗓音,唱來別有韻味。
蔡琴提醒現場民眾,上帝在禱告中提醒她,一定要用愛,彼此合而為一;而這合一不只是基督徒之間要合而為一,基督徒與未信者也要合而為一,台灣人和不同國家的人也要合而為一。
台北葛福臨福音節慶,從十月三十日到今晚舉行四場,除了蔡琴,參與演出的藝人陶(吉吉)、洪榮宏、王芷蕾等人專程從國外趕回,林俊傑、吳建豪也推掉 其他檔期飛回台灣參與表演;另外,陶大偉、孫越今晚也出席了福音節慶。主辦單位說,每位藝人都是分文未取,將最好的演出獻給上帝。讀你

因为神的教会与事工, 也应该像身体一样, 应该是有成长的.
好, 求上帝帮助我们吧!

Are you a Christian or Christ-Follower ?
Well it is absolutely the best thing to read more especially the bible.... but on the other hand, walk the talk and do what we've learned from the Word is more important. I like the part "Follow Christ the way I live my life..."
Well, Christian were called as they were original because they are seems to be "Christ Follower" or "People Who Live Like Christ". Just that the word "Christian" is becoming more like a noun, a group name or an organization rather than the actual reason they were called that way. Our life style should project Christ image.
I'd like to be called Christ-follower rather than Christian :- )
God bless you, Christ-Follower.

+ , - , x , ÷
大家可别误会, 我不是在骂脏话哦…. 而是前几天, 读了一篇短篇, 觉得满有意思的, 在这里想和大家一起分享.
作者说到, 庸庸碌碌的人们, 所有人生的追求, 都能以四个符号来概括. 什么符号呢? 就是加 (+), 减(-), 乘(x), 除(÷).
里头的内容大至说到每个工作者, 都希望自己的薪金, 利润当然是加加加…, 繁重的工作量当然是减减减…. 什么是乘呢? 作者说... 狂想一下, 最好升级乘倍! 一连三级跳. 尽快的升到最高级. 那除呢?? 因这作者的工作是位作家, 那他“除”了当作家, 他还能干什么呢??
作者又问, 那作为基督徒的, 会怎样看这加 (+), 减(-), 乘(x), 除(÷)? 当然希望恩膏会加添, 服事减少, 财富乘倍, 除去不喜欢的会众. 作者说, 可是 “狂想”归 “狂想”, 一位牧师却告诫说 : “加! 感恩心要加倍! 减, 对人生不如意事的埋怨要减少; 乘呢? 信靠主的信心要乘! 除呢? 该除去, 是烦恼.”
最后作者的结论是 : 活着要感恩, 遇事不埋怨, 信心加倍, 除去烦忧.
使徒保罗说得好 : “我知道怎样处卑贱, 也知道怎样处丰富 : 或饱足, 或饥饿; 或有余, 或缺乏, 随时随在, 我都得了秘诀.” (腓立比书 4:12)
---这就是丰富喜乐的人生了.
---这道理原来这么简单啊!
让我们彼此勉励吧!!
My Car was Found
During the first week, I had hope that my car would be found. However, week after week, information after information (cars were stolen and could not find, even if they were found, the parts would be gone), I lost my hope. Nevertheless, I did not lose my faith in God. I kept on praying to God to have His way. I prayed that my car would be found, but I did not have enough faith. I prayed to God “God, I know that if my car was not found, then I know You will give me another one, and I don’t have to worry about the money.” God is always faithful to those who have faith in Him. Thousand and million praises to God.
Faithful is he that called you, who also will do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:24

what a friend we have in JESUS
what a friend we have in JESUS, all our sins and griefs to bear,
what a privilege to carry, everything to GOD in prayer.
o what peace we often forfeit, o what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry, everything to GOD in prayer.
have we trials and temptations? is there trouble anywhere?
we should never be discouraged, take it to the LORD in prayer.
can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share,
JESUS knows our every weakness, take it to the LORD in prayer.
are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
precious SAVIOUR still our refuge, take it to the LORD in prayer.
do thy friends despise forsake thee, take it to the LORD in prayer,
in his arms HE'll take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there.
try this my dear friends.....
if you know the melody line of this song.....
sing it aloud.....
sing it as a prayer......
it will remind and assure us that we will always have JESUS as our friend.....

Daily Bread 10-Oct-2008
想放在此与大家分享 :- )
傑瑞米·泰勒(Jeremy Taylor)是17世紀的英國牧師,他因為信仰而受到很大的逼迫。但是即使他的房子被洗劫,家人陷於貧困狀態,財產被沒收,他仍然數算那不能失去的恩典。
他寫道:「他們沒有拿走我愉悅的面容、喜樂的靈以及良知;他們也沒有奪去上帝的供應、他所有的應許……我對天堂的盼望、以及我對他們的寬容;我依然可以睡、可以消化、可以吃、可以喝、可以閱讀、可以默想。人若還能有這麼多可以喜樂的理由,就不該選擇坐在自己『那一小把刺』上面。」
也許我們的遭遇不像傑瑞米那麼艱難,但我們每個人都會面臨挑戰與困境。我們是否只是抱怨?或者我們選擇不讓這「一小把的刺」以及我們的困難遮蓋了上帝所賜予出人意外的豐富恩典?
當我們想要抱怨的時候,讓我們記起上帝的信實,並且「稱謝耶和華,求告他的名,在萬民中傳揚他的作為……要記念他奇妙的作為和他的奇事。」(詩篇105篇1節,5節)

God is always good....
God is really good to me. He prepares everything before all these happen. First, He prepares my heart and faith to trust Him at this very moment. Second, He prepares a car for me. My friend, who lives in campus just bought a car a month ago, is not using her car during weekday. She allows me to use her car. Third, God lets one of my Saturday student stop learning because He knows that I am going to loose my car, and I do not have to worry about no transportation going to her place.
In addition, I have learned that I am really blessed by God comparing to others. At least, I still have money to pay for my tuition fees. My friend, he does not even have money to pay for his tuition fees. He needs to work for few semesters before he can go back to school. Not patting myself at my back. One of my students’ mothers told me that she was encouraged by my faith to God. God is always good.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

God is in control
I image how it hurts when these people already signed S&P buying a bigger house, now they found out the bank no longer giving them 120% loan, and they are stuck with the property and has no money to move in because their employer are putting up memo of retrenchment.
I can imaging some who has decided to buy a decent sport car, or their dream car, now would have to start looking for buyer, and yet it's hard to find one because everyone else is doing the same thing.
Price of property and super luxurious goods started falling and falling, and all the people can do is to hold on to them with uncertainty.
Some may start to go to church again, I guess. Cause this would be a good time for some supernatural power to come intervene their problems. Well I can also image some which used to be too busy are starting to show up especially in the prayer meeting. I imagine some couples are seeking counselling of the cell leader or Pastor, for the quarrel that started weeks ago on the topic who should spend less now.
I used to understand some little bad things happen for a good reason... however I'm not too sure this USD516 trillion derivative black-hole is a "little bad thing". Looking back as the amount of only USD700 billion (FYI, 1 trillion=1,000 billion) the Fed has prepared to help may be all the help US government can afford.
Now I realized, that only God's intervention can stop this black-hole from continuing to such-in even our Malaysia economy, or the money of the rest of the world as well.
Looking at the situation and figures, I think it's pretty scary and little unbelievable. No wonder it makes people lost hope of the future.....
Thank God for His faithful servant, I remember once saw Billy Graham in a video "...don't give up, don't let the headline strike you, God is still sovereign .... have a future that's brighter than tomorrow..."
On one of his Q&A about God in control "...that because God is in control, He is working behind the scenes to accomplish His purposes -- and because He is, we can have hope."
We should have hope, bible tells us that ".... hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Roman 5:5)
Let's have hope together, for our relationship with God, our church, our political situation, our economy and our nation to be a better place for His purpose.

Do they see Jesus in me??
最近大家都很忙吧,时间只足够来到这里逛逛,而没时间在这里留笔吧!
我再次把这首歌放上来,因为最近我的经历,我所面对的事情,正好让我来到反省,到底我有没有让我身边的朋友从我身上看到耶稣基督。
我生命當中的殘缺!
現在的心情是那麼的內疚慚愧羞恥,我手所做的工正在羞辱我的上帝爸爸.
Do They See Jesus In me
作詞:Pete Carlson/Amy Roth 作曲:Pete Carlson/Amy Roth
Is the face that I see in the mirror
The one I want others to see
Do I show in the way that I walk in my life
The love that you've given to me
My heart desires to be like you
In all that I do all that I am
Do they see Jesus in me
Do they recognize your face
Do I communicate your love
And your grace
Do I reflect who you are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus Jesus in me
It's amazing that you'd ever use me
But use me the way you will
Help me to hold out a heart of compassion and grace
A heart that your spirit fills
May I show forgiveness and mercy
The same way you've shown it to me
Do they see Jesus in me
Do they recognize your face
Do I communicate your love
And your grace
Do I reflect who you are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus Jesus in me
Well I wanna show all the world
That you are the reason I live and breathe
So you'll be the one that they see
When they see me
Do they see Jesus in me
Do they recognize your face
Do I communicate your love
And your grace
Do I reflect who you are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus Jesus in me
歌詞是那麼的簡單,那麼得容易的明白,是那麼容易的扎入人心!
ey:
haiz....no use appologize after that,
just i really a bit dissapointed that day,
cos the case quite urgent but no body can help,
and make me cant concentrate teaching.
i hv a feel after that day.
i was thinking if i am a non christian
and asking u 4 urgent help
but u reject me by giving excuse lazy
then i don think i can know ur God 4 ever
cos christian like this kind just good to God but not man.
這是前几天朋友給我的一段話.我真的不知道該如何來到解釋這件事情.
有一天早上,ey致電給我,那時候的我其實已經起床了,也做了靈修。但是卻覺得很累,又跑回去床上睡覺。過後電話就來了,她請我跑去她家一趟,告訴她的男朋友鎖匙就在窗邊。但是我拒絕了,理由就是我要睡覺,很懶!
過後,我就繼續睡了,因为我覺得她還會找到人幫她.所以过后也沒有再去問她這件事情了,也完全的忘記了這件事情!但是不知怎麼的,那天突然間想起這件事情,就主動的向她道歉.但她說他生氣我,過後就沒有任何的回復.直到星期六下午就寫了上面的那段話給我!
看了,覺得很對不起,覺得很慚愧,覺得很羞恥,覺得自己真的很自私,不但沒活出主耶穌的樣式,反而還讓主耶穌的名字蒙羞了!其實已經不是第一次這樣了,之前有人懷疑我跟上帝爸爸的關係時,其實我就應該好好的反省審查自己的態度了.但我沒有審查,反而還在問為甚麼我的弟兄在質疑我?
說實話,我的生命正走下坡了,生命當中有很多的埋怨,不滿,不順服的地方了!至到這一次,我不得不好好的來到思想我的言行舉止,到底是在榮神益人或是一直在傷害人.那天我一邊聽著這首歌,一邊在思想當中的歌詞,我禱告說我的生命要完全的獻上在上帝的面前被主來到使用,我不要再讓自己的自私驕傲再次來到羞辱我的阿爸天父!
那時候我很難過,很傷心,但是我哭不出來,欲哭無淚!我知道是我的錯,我也很感謝朋友的直言,一針見血的,很刺激喔!
親愛的阿爸天父,我感謝你把這麼多的朋友放在我的生命當中,很多時候看似一種傷害的事情發生在我們的生命當中,但這卻是上帝你應允發生在我的生活當中,我相信你會像應允尼希米一樣的應允我,供應我的需要.上帝爸爸,我不期望你挪去這些的傷害,只懇求你加添力量讓我能夠走出甚至是走過這些的傷害,能夠學習當中的功課!感謝你,我的上帝爸爸,奉主耶穌基督的名字我禱告,阿門!

鍾素明馬來西亞短宣分享
我目前人在柔佛洲的第二大城市Batu Pahat(馬六甲往南走),它的人口不多約50萬,屬電子工業城,有近30個公司已股票上市。在柔佛洲有四場講道,已完成了三場。昨天二場的講道都是一位顏弟兄安排的。二年前他與幾位基督徒看見Batu Pahat的特殊孩子家長整天以淚洗臉,神興起他成立一個「Batu Pahat智障中心」,中心一直是極辛苦在經營著。
顏弟兄一知道我要到馬國短宣,他就向協傳的三洋牧師表達希望我可以到Batu Pahat。昨天上午我在顏弟兄的智障中心向家長及老師講【特殊孩子送給我的生命禮物】。晚上他在聯合海洋宴會廳辦了一場【她是我的寶貝】生命見證分享會。顏弟兄的心熱切想讓更多的人知道我家的故事,但中心帳戶內只有馬幣250元(一馬幣約值台幣9.4元),但單單飯店的餐費及場租費就要馬幣2500元。
他說:「錯過了汪媽媽,下次還會有哪個宣教士是懂得特教的?」一想到可能是「唯一的一次」,他就憑「信心」租下場地。他開始動起來了,沒想到:接下來有人竟自願幫忙設計海報及餐券,更有人出錢印製。他說有位基督徒醫生買下100張餐券(馬幣10元/一張),送給他的智障中心家長、老師。及義工。賣出100張餐券等於收到馬幣1000元的奉獻,財務的缺口仍大。於是他更認真去兜售餐券,但他幾乎是連連碰壁,他說有次到一間教會去,人好多卻只有賣出三張餐券,他覺得許多人心是冷漠的。好長的時間過去了,合計只賣出130張餐券,心想:看來我連汪媽媽的旅社費都無法籌出來……
但8/28馬國最大報星洲日報(大馬10人有6人會看該報),在副刊以近四大版面,登出我家故事後,整個局勢就大大改觀,許多人主動打電話來詢問,而且幾乎都不是基督徒。昨晚連工作人員約有300人聽見了我家的故事,餐券總計賣出275張,足以應付所有的支出。
昨晚離去前許多人走到我面前致意,有位非基督的男老師說:「我不是基督徒,看星洲日報時,我已感動落淚,來現場聽,震撼更大。原來每一個孩子在上帝眼中都是『寶貝』…」許多年輕人要跟蕙欣耀祺合照,年輕人說:「『信心』對我們原本是『抽象』的;但今晚目睹蕙欣字正腔圓地唱歌、耀祺自信滿滿地打鼓…,我們心底就都懂了…」有位老奶奶說:「今晚我看見神的榮耀,我已經好久不哭了,但蕙欣唱歌時,我眼淚流了下來…」有媽媽說:「今晚我不來聽,我會繼續打我的孩子…」人群近11點時,才逐漸離去。我跟顏弟兄告別,他卻再次提醒我說:「汪媽媽,您來一次是不夠,希望明年汪爸爸也能來Batu Pahat,啊!特教與親子的禾場好大…」
回到旅社已過12點,我感謝神,讓我有機會與顏弟兄一起同工,我要謝謝他的「成全」。昨晚我腦海出現許多像「顏弟兄」一樣的弟兄,他們在我過往的短宣路上,不僅用愛接納我,神也透過這群弟兄向我說了許多話……美國Torrance的本祥、西雅圖的吳弟兄、加拿大的杜弟兄、華聖頓的宏哲弟兄、多倫多的劉家山牧師、還有……啊!我真想念您們。親愛的代禱同工我也一樣謝謝您們,想到您們,我就感謝神。
今晚在柔佛三合港基督教會講道,明天下居鑾,終站新山(大馬第二大城),我還有七場講道的路程。

風雨中也能飛翔
我是第一次聽他的分享,很感動,上帝給他的是一個祝福,而不是一個咒詛.
過後,聽蕙欣唱歌的時候,我更是感動得差點流淚,
這首歌是在寫他自己,當我一邊在聽,我就一邊回想汪媽媽的分享,
看到蕙欣的生命,是那麼的堅強,是那麼的美!
<風雨中也能飛翔>
人生旅途多風浪,世事變幻嘆無常。
我的心要仰望祢,祢在天地永為王。
不管夜晚有多長,黎明終究會來臨。
我的心要等候祢,祢的美意必顯彰。
有祢知道我景況,安慰我一切憂傷。
將掛慮重擔,放在祢手上。
黑暗中也能歌唱,有祢站在我身旁,
指引我每個方向。
點亮我希望,加給我力量,
風雨中也能飛翔,
啊~風雨中也能飛翔。
推薦!!!

鍾素明传道的报道
榮獲台灣智障者家長總會“第一家庭獎”的汪致中,22年前與妻子滿心期待迎接女兒的到來,沒想到女兒出生後被證實是先天腦部缺陷的孩子,頓時令他們晴天霹靂。不過,他們從不放棄女兒,現在女兒不僅會彈鋼琴及電子琴,還跟另一名中度智障的孩子組成了“寶貝二重唱”,參與各項弱勢團體募款演唱。
汪致中與太太鍾素明的女兒汪蕙欣,到了3歲都還不會開口叫爸爸、媽媽,5歲才開始學走路,站立不穩、說話也咬字不清,親友都建議這對夫妻放棄這名智障孩子,但他們堅決要親自把女兒撫養成人。
2小時喝不完60cc奶
鍾素明週三(3日)在《光明日報》、《星洲日報》及協傳培訓中心聯辦的《她是我的寶貝》生命分享會上憶述,起初她很粗心,完全沒發現女兒有學習障礙的症狀。“我鄰床的媽媽餵孩子喝奶,60cc的奶水都在15至30分鐘內喝完,蕙欣卻用了2小時都喝不完,甚至喝到睡著。”
發現女兒是先天腦部缺陷後,她和丈夫都很難過。“醫生告訴我,蕙欣的腦部有32個空洞。原來她在我子宮裡的時候,腦部就已經不獲得健康的發育,醫生說這是萬中才有一的情況。”
蕙欣容易感染發燒,一燒就四十幾度,因為女兒的病,夫妻倆勞碌奔波,親友見了不忍,都建議他們放棄蕙欣,把蕙欣送到收容所,但他們一直沒放棄。
首次開口唱歌感動到哭
“我記得蕙欣第一次開口唱歌的時候,我感動得哭了。因為我看到蕙欣在跟自己挑戰極限,她可以講話,還可以唱歌。”
她說,雖然蕙欣的學習進度很慢,但她和丈夫都願意配合女兒放慢腳步,跟女兒一起學習。現在,蕙欣仍然接受語言治療師矯正發音,還有學習唱歌和彈琴。
鍾素明在台灣創辦了“寶寶班”,專門照顧一群智障及特殊障礙的孩子,其中一名18歲的多重障礙男孩黃耀祺也出席這場分享會,現場不忘顯露身手表演太鼓,獲得全場掌聲鼓勵。
汪蕙欣也呈現《風中也能飛翔》和《小白花》2首歌曲,黃耀祺以搖沙鈴伴奏,場面令人動容。
耐心愛心教特殊孩童
汪致中說,教導特殊孩童並沒有特別訣竅,只有耐心的陪伴及愛心,才能讓特殊孩童健康成長。雖然特殊孩童平時都頭低低,不愛講話,但他們絕對能從父母的眼神看出關愛,被鼓勵走出來接納父母。
“父母必須用眼神與特殊孩童傳達信息。無論是自閉兒還是過動兒,都能在父母的眼神裡看到關愛或厭惡。因此,父母必須靠眼神表達愛意,讓孩子敞開心房,學會信任。”
他說,特殊孩童的智力發展不健康,他們聽不懂大人在說什麼,只會通過胡鬧和發洩來表達心中不滿。因此,他不鼓勵父母以懲罰的方式制止特殊孩童的行為,而是要用愛心告訴他們不可以這樣做。
“生活中的很多細節,都可以變成教導特殊孩童的小技巧。父母只要和孩子一起玩、一起學習,就會發現孩子逐步成長。”
他強調,要讓學習障礙的孩童開口講話、有反應及互動,並不是一朝一夕的事,因此父母千萬別放棄孩子,而是要每天和他們一同學習。
獨資自製多媒體教材
“育有智障的孩子並不是一個悲劇,而是萬中選一的祝福。”鍾素明說,女兒汪蕙欣的心是自由的,雖然現在22歲了還會被人欺負,但她總有一顆豐沛愛人的心,無時無刻都選擇原諒並關懷身旁每個人。
大家都叫鍾素明為汪媽媽,汪媽媽說,蕙欣偶爾還是會鬧情緒障礙,但一陣子過後就會認錯說:“媽媽,再給我一次機會。”
汪爸爸及汪媽媽用了7年的時間,獨資獨力自製多媒體教材,每逢週日教育一群智障、自閉、學障、過動的孩子,將小愛化為大愛。這舉動不僅使一群特殊孩子受惠,也溫暖了在角落哭泣的一群特殊孩子的家長。
汪媽媽欣慰地說,蕙欣雖然長短腳,卻比平常人走過許多國家,矢要把愛傳到世界每個角落

台湾钟素明传道的分享
11/9/08(星期四)7.30pm在星洲日報禮堂有一場公開分享會,屬福音性質,歡迎邀請親友參加。
任何詢問請撥電03-41437971(莉婷)
鍾素明分享馬國短宣
親愛的代禱同工:
我人目前在吉隆坡OMF招待所,馬國短宣節奏,愈夜愈忙,睡眠時數偏低。一想到二姊及昔日大學團契同工劉大章,都因車禍傷及腦部,我的心好不捨,大章至今仍昏迷在加護病房。今天行程空檔,早早起床,漫步在庭院,我為姊姊及大章禱告。女兒蕙欣先天腦傷嚴重,伴隨部份器官有缺陷,今天乎特別能感受到大章目前所承受的肉體痛苦,更能體會出他家人此刻的助。啊!禱告,不間斷的禱告,只有禱告能帶出「能力」!
從北馬的檳城開始,我察覺:我在台下個別陪談時間,竟然是大於台上講道時間。有位女牧師說:汪媽媽,哇!這樣下去你這趟短宣肯定「超累」。但這也給我機會貼近會眾的心。我發現:星洲日報的傳播力量大,許多人第一次走進教會。主辦教會沒有意識到:會有這麼多人會來。我感到此地教會的心尚未預備好。在怡保以琳福音堂,那晚外面一直下大雨,教會的傳道人開始為我「打預防針」。他說:今晚的人可能會很少,原本週五晚辦活動就不容易,好幾次證明都是這樣,明天週六上午的「影音圖像教學變變變」的專題講座可能10多個人而已。沒想到大出意外,當晚來了近200人,會後,許多人握著我的手,說謝謝,一開口就流下了淚來,有人甚至哭倒在我懷裡,這些人都說是看星洲日紙來的,隔天的專題講座來了45個人,許多說:「是看報紙來的!」
進入到吉隆坡,首站蒲種長老教會,牧師說:8/28星洲日報登出我家故事,他就接到許多詢問電話,當晚非基督徒與基督徒各佔一半,Q&A時間,許多非基督徒一開口,就哭泣起來。有位家長說:「大馬政府不管這樣的特殊孩子,學校老師叫我們把孩子帶回家自己教,連教會也不管我們…」說到此,這母親已泣不成聲。有位母親說:「我的兒子很聰明,但他不快樂,我覺得蕙欣好快樂….」聲音已哽咽,無法再說不下去…。
9/7主日崇拜來到Sunway信義會,地點雖變,場景卻一樣。一對夫妻,流著眼淚,與我握手,丈夫說:「謝謝您來大馬,我的兒子自閉,我們活得好苦,沒有人來救我們。今天上帝終於派您來安慰我們…」有位弟兄等了好久,才有機會跟我說話,他說:「我的兒子是OK的,但我錯了,我沒有用神的愛去愛他,回去的第一件事是要向兒子道歉。」離去前,牧師說:「我的教會應該『認罪悔改』,長期以來,我們只看重多數人的需要,特殊的孩子也是上帝的寶貝,但因是少數,教會竟長期視而不見…」這位女牧師哭了,她問我:「您可以將寶貝班的團隊帶到大馬,為我們舉辦一個【親子服音夏令營】嗎?」
9/7晚上及9/8的晚上在十一里信義會,第二晚的人潮,比前一晚多出一倍,Q&A時間好多人都在哭。有位青少年說:「汪媽媽,我剛信主一年,仍有許多老我。我以前不明白,爸媽照顧我這麼辛苦,今天我終於明白了,回家後想抱著我爸媽。以前我常埋怨,但看到有缺陷的蕙欣,在風雨中也能飛翔,我想要『重新活起來』…」
有人說:「在大馬從來沒有人說『特別的愛給特殊的孩子』,因著您來大馬,報紙竟以此來當標題,而且字好大,那天我看見這標題時,我哭了!原來上帝仍然愛我們這群在大馬的特殊家庭,您為我們帶來了『希望』…」。
目睹大馬許多的靈魂在憂傷中,遍地都是可搶救的靈魂,我的心幾乎無法承受,莊稼發白到如此地步,怎麼可以視而不見呢!躺在床上,無法入眠,我哭著向上帝祈求;主啊!求你興起工人!啊!十字架的愛一觸摸到他(她),大馬許多人心,竟得著了安慰。
有時我們感到很為難,要為未曾見過面的人禱告,特別那個地方,你也未曾去過。但保羅在哥羅西書1:9教導說:「因此,我們自從聽見的日子,也就為你們不住的禱告祈求…」,現在大家「聽見」了,我懇求您:「不住的禱告祈求」,為馬國的特教福音事工禱告。

the story of a panda
once upon a time there was a panda but not kung fu panda (joel is very much into kung fu panda - so hubby needs to clarify) who join the olympic game(since is so hot now).
he went to join the running competition. he was so fat and big and this made him run very slow. he was so sad because he turned out to be the last.
then he went to join the diving competition. when he dived the water splashed so high. he was sad because he lost again.
the panda decided to try at the badminton game. but he was not able to run fast and lost again.
with my eyes closed, i was giggling in my heart wondering what game will hubby go next. i guessed he will say "lontar peluru" (forgot the english term).
the story continue.....
then the panda went to join the weightlifting game and he won by using only one hand.
hubby: joel, u see..... GOD create everyone to be special. you can be good in this thing and your fren can be good in another thing. the panda is not good at running, diving or badminton but he did well at weightlifting. and the panda never give up when he lost his games.....
ok. end of the story. lights off. joel satisfied and time for bed.
clap! clap! good one hubby.....
NEVER GIVE UP AND WE ARE ALL SPECIAL!!!
i am a blessed child
at times like this i am very much affected both physically and emotionally...i literally drag myself to work everyday and at the end of the day my energy level is zero.....
IT IS ALSO......
at times like this i feel the presence of GOD. i can sense HIM so near to me and i desire so much of HIM.
at times like this i feel the love of my family especially my 3 darling at home.....walter ling, joel ling and how ling. they are my "kaki" and "tangan" at home.
at times like this i feel the warmth of my church. they pray for me and support me in every way. i received phone calls, sms, emails, sandwiches, herbal drink and etc.....
at times like this i feel the closeness of my relatives. my prayer warrior aunt will proclaim GOD's promises on me each time i call her. my aunt at hometown told me yesterday that she will send some "kampung chickens" all the way from sitiawan.
i am so blessed for the people around me. i thank GOD for each one of them.
so hormones, i think u lose... sorry....

覺得這首歌的旋律好好聽喔,有點輕快的感覺!
我第一次聽這首歌就愛上了,
一開始聽的時候,還不知道它的歌詞,
但今天當我找這首歌的時候,就發現原來它的歌詞也好好喔!
這首歌,應該不是詩歌,但是...
當中的歌詞就好像上帝爸爸在對我們說話一樣!
他正對你我說著祂的愛
在說著浪子回頭與迷失的羔羊的故事!
當你在外面流浪了太久,迷失了你的方向,
當你迷失了自己,感覺孤單無助,
當你在外頭遇到很多的攔阻,委屈,難堪,責備
別忘了回轉你的腳步,回到上帝爸爸的面前
上帝爸爸的愛是永不止息的,永不更改
上帝爸爸一直都在等著你回家,
上帝爸爸一直都愛著你,等著你回到祂的懷抱當中!
孩子,你在聽著嗎?別忘了上帝爸爸愛你,是永永遠遠的哦!
你還未出母胎,他就已經為你謀算你的前程了!

拾起一捆柴
我相信它能够让大家早上一开电脑时, 可以先吃了神的灵粮才开工或其他.
愿神祝福你, 每一天都有美好的开始 !
:- )
一場痛苦的疾病,讓教聖經的比利沃克老師有好幾個月無法照常上課。後來他對學生說,因為不能教導他們,使他心裏很難過,但上帝卻藉著他的病和康復教導他。
在臥病期間,有一天,他在禱告默想的時候,被使徒行傳28章中的一段經文所吸引。這段經文記載了保羅在馬耳他遭遇船難的事蹟。他從中看到,除了保羅被毒蛇咬了卻沒事的神蹟外,還有好多教訓。
這位偉大的使徒,曾向千萬人傳講福音,行過許多神蹟奇事,寫了新約中的多卷書信,卻成了囚犯,被困在小島上。他曾否躺著哀嘆自己的遭遇?他 是否想過自己因為是使徒,就應該享有比其他人更好的待遇呢?不!聖經告訴我們,他的選擇是去幫助船上的同伴和照顧大家。當時下著雨,天氣又冷,所以保羅 「拾起一捆柴」,放在極需添柴的火堆上(第3節)。
因著困難的環境,你也許被撇在一旁好一陣子了。也許你的生命到了一個地步,不可能再參與需要消耗精力的行動了。不要悲觀失望。請記住保羅的榜樣,去做你所能做的事,哪怕只是簡單地「拾起一捆柴」
上帝絕不會把你放在不能服事他的崗位上

Praise the Lord !
Recently, I was reading a book called A WALK TO REMEMBER. The story is about a life changing of a ‘typical’ teenager—alien and weird. (Let me call this teenage, Mr. A). Mr. A was born in a rich family. Whose grandfather did many harmful things to others in order to benefit him self. The story happened in a country side. In this town, there was a pastor. This pastor worked for Mr. A’s grandfather before. He knew all the bad things about Mr. A’s grandfather; therefore he did not like Mr. A’s family. This pastor had had a wife. But his wife past away when giving birth to his daughter. His daughter—Ms. B was a faithful Christian. Ms. B did many good things for the town residents. Grandpas and grandmas, daddy and mummy, little boys and little girls loved her so much, except, the weird group, teenagers. The reasons they did not like her were because of her good deeds and out look. One day, Mr. A invited Ms. B to a prom. The reasons that Mr. A invited her were because he had no one to invite, and he did not want his friends to make fun of him. Therefore, reluctantly he invited her. After the prom, Mr. A’s perception toward Ms. B had changed. Mr. A and Ms. B were in the same drama class. Every Christmas, the high school drama team would perform a story written by Ms. B’s father. This year, Ms B was chosen to be the prime female role and Mr. A was chosen to be the prime male role. At first he was reluctant to do it. However, Ms. B’s sincere requirement made him no reason to reject. Days after days, Mr. A fell in love with Ms. B. With prayer Ms. B had changed Mr. A. Mr. A started to do good deeds to the residents. However, thing did not go smoothly. Ms. B had leukemia. Mr. A was so sad. During the last few months of Ms. B’s life, Mr. A father helped Ms. B a lot. Because of this, Ms. B’s father had forgave Mr. A’s family.
Although the story was sad, the ending was good. Our lives full of good things and bad things. When good things happen, we say “Praise the Lord.” When bad things happen, we say ‘praise the Lord.’ Do we really praise our God? Saying “Praise the Lord” during bad things happen is a tough homework that every one needs to learn. By God’s grace we are able to learn it. Sometimes, Mr. Tan—satan means it for evil, but God means it for good. Let us encourage ourselves with this verse “ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” Romans 8:28
