我要向三月的流星許願
31.03.2002 (Sun)
感冒第四天。愈來愈嚴重。搭早上九時的飛機返香港。雖然想趕及在崇拜完結前出現一下,但行李太重,身體疲累,還是回家休息休息。
Forth day
of cold. It's getting more serious. We took the flight to Hong Kong at 9am.
Though I wanted to show up at church before the service ended, the baggage
was heavy and I was too tired. So I went home and rested.
打開小曦給我的禮物,上面寫著:
您是我第二喜歡的人我第一喜歡朱老師,我很喜歡你
祝你:身體健康,一路順風,百頭到老,長身不老。
再見,希望你下次再來。
I opened
Hei Hei's present. It writes:
You are
the 2nd person I like. The 1st one is Teacher Chu. I like you very much.
I wish you health, safe trip, white hair until getting old and a long life.
Goodbye. I hope that you will come again.
完成了湖北之旅(陽新行=成身痕?),雖然帶了病毒回港,但十分感謝神,我們可以安全回來,在那裡認識到來自不同地方的朋友。他們的臉孔就好像代表一處地方,跟他們傾談,比參觀百個觀光景點使我更滿足。從他們身上,我看見神的恩典和作為,他們的信心辛勞謙卑好學熱情,是我的榜樣。他們可能在物質上缺乏,但在心靈上是滿足的。
Finished
the Hubei trip. Though I brought virus to Hong Kong, I am very thankful to
God. We could come back safely. We knew friends from different places. Each
of the faces seems to represent a place. Talking to them is better than visiting
hundred tourist spots. From them, I see God's grace and work. Their faith,
hard work, humility, diligence and warmth are my examples. They may be poor
in terms of materials, but their hearts are rich.
意外地,收到兩位專欄讀者的電郵,使嘉榆的"傑"作變成傑作。我想,他們的來信,不單是對嘉榆的鼓勵,也是對詩會的支持。

早上離開陽新,中午到武漢。途中參觀一位弟兄的教會,他們用樂隊來歡迎我們,又用三大袋香蕉萍果和梨來歡送我們,十分熱情。
We left
Yanxin in the morning and arrived at Wuhan at noon. On our way to Wuhan,
we visited a brother's church. We were welcomed by their band and "farewelled"
by three big bags of bananas, apples and pears. It's very warm.
下午四時,一團人到一間頗高雅的酒樓吃午晚飯。飯菜不錯,每個人都不過付$22!
At 4pm,
our team had lunch+dinner at a very good restaurant. The food was good too.
But each of us just paid $22!
29.03.2002 (Fri)
受難節,晚上有崇拜和領聖餐。
Good Friday.
There were service and holy communion.
孩子們知道我們明天要走,有些預備了禮物送給我們。
小華叫女同學為我們各人編了手鏈,
有個小弟弟送給我們幾張紙,其中一張上寫了1+1=2 2+2=3 3+3=4......9+9=10!
林林和楠楠說因沒有給我們禮物而感到抱歉,我說:你們給我一個吻,已經是份禮物!他們真的在我臉上吻了一下,令我感到心甜!
小曦和小潔給了我禮物,我也向他們索取了吻,然後我在他們的臉上吻了一下,過了數小時,他們的陽新味還在我的唇上。
The children
knew that we would leave tomorrow. Some of them gave us presents.
Howard asked his girl classmates to make bracelets for each of us.
A little boy gave us few sheets of paper. On one of them, it writes "1+1=2
2+2=3 3+3=4......9+9=10"!
Lam Lam and Larm Larm said that they felt sorry because they didn't have
any presents. I said, "If you give me a kiss, it's already a present!" They
really gave me a kiss on my chin and I felt very sweet!
Hei Hei and Kit Kit gave me presents. But I also asked them for a kiss.
Then I kissed them too. After few hours, their Yanxin smell was still on
my lips.

認識了學員中最年輕的女孩子,他貌似紗紗,名字跟我的讀音相同,叫曉梅。他是從山區來的。他提起施達扶貧計劃。原來我曾經捐過的錢真的可以落在有需要的人的手中。
I got
to know the youngest student. She looks like SaSa (a girl in NIC). The pronunciation
of her name is same as mine (Xiao Mei). She is from the mountain. She mentioned
the Cedar Fund. The
money I donated some time ago did go into the hands of the needy.
難得皎潔的月亮下,我問一女孩:月亮是誰造的呢?他答:耶穌。那刻,我想:這個想法很寶貴呢!
Under the
unexpectedly clear moon, I asked one girl, "Who made the moon?" She answered,
"It's Jesus." At the moment, I thought, "This though is very precious!"
孩子唱"浪花一朵朵"和"對面的女孩望過來",令我想起小強!
The children
sang two songs of a Taiwanese singer. This made me think of Keung (a teenager
in NIC).
靠著耶穌聖名,我們必能得勝
靠著耶穌聖名,我們必能得勝
誰能訴說主的作為?誰能數盡祂的愛?
靠著耶穌寶貴聖名,我們必能得勝
(In the name of Jesus, we will have the victory!)

在教會廚房工作的梁伯帶我進入他的房間,給我表演他自己寫的鼓板歌。這些歌都是跟福音有關的,很厲害!
Brother
Leung, who is working in the church kitchen, took me to his room and performed
his "rhyme songs" to me. All the songs are related to the gospel. Bravo!
......世上只有天父好,耶穌慈愛真偉大,
宇宙萬物上帝造,世人只有倚靠祂。......
...Only the Father is good on earth. Jesus' kindness is very great.
All of the universe He created. Men on earth can only depend on Him...
下午的課和事奉有關,學員和團員要在晚飯時一定要給別人夾(食送),也不可自己夾給自己。很有趣!
The afternoon
lesson is about serving. During the dinner time, we and the students had
to let others take food for us and could not get food for ourselves. Interesting!
26.03.2002 (Tue)
我們從香港來到陽新都覺得這裡有一陣髒的味道,當日耶穌由天降世為人時,祂一定比我們更加不習慣。
Though
we were just from Hong Kong to Yanxin, we still felt the dirty smell. When
Jesus came from Heaven to earth and became a man, he must have felt more
uncomfortable than us.
聽團員C和懿老師談學員的情況。很欣賞他們對他們的關心,至於我,還未有機會去了解他們的情況。
I heard
team member C and Miss Yee talk about the situations of the students. I
appreciate their caring and thoughfulness very much. As for me, I still didn't
have a chance to know more about their situations.
窮乏人,必不永久被忘,
困苦人的指望,必不永遠落空。
詩篇9:18
But the needy
will not always be forgotten,
nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.
Psalm 9:18

劍老師講課後有小組討論。以前聽過有關農村教會的情況(年輕的一輩和男性都外出工作,只剩下婦孺,家裡的農田工作和家務已不易做,教會的工作更難找人做),但親耳聽一位姊妹的分享,有更深刻的感受。
After Miss
Kim's lecture, there was a group discussion. In the past, I heard about the
situation of the churches in the villages (the younger generation and males
have gone out to work, leaving the old and women to work on the farms. They
are also busy with housework. This makes the churches difficult to find
people to help). But today I could hear the sharing from a sister. Everything
seems to be real to me now.
晚飯後和一群小孩子唱"主耶穌真奇妙"。他們為了貼紙,甚至把我"逼埋牆"。小小天使開始時也差不多這樣。感謝神給我在小小天使和新民中心的"訓練"!
After dinner,
I taught several children the song "Isn't it wonderful?". In order to get
stickers, they even pushed me against a wall! When LLA first started, the
kids were also like them. I thank God for the "training" I had in LLA and
NIC.

來崇拜的會眾抄"因祂復活"的歌詞,令我很感動。
The congregation
at the service copied down the words of "Because He Lives." I was touched.
和一班來這教會上聖經課的學員們挽手祈禱。每人若說一分鐘,共有四十多人,一挽手便是一小時。我想起出埃及記中摩西舉手禱告(的苦況)。
Had a prayer
time with the students who came here for the Bible class. We crossed our
arms while we prayed. We had 40 people. If each one prayed for 1 minute,
it took an hour to prayer. This made me thought of Moses in Exodus praying
with his hands up.
一群小孩子聚集,他們很樂意聽故事(我帶了路得,好撒瑪利亞人和浪子回家等故事書)。他們令我想起中心和小小天使的孩子,其中有幾個頗似英奇,小盛,婷婷,小婷,紅紅和妙妙。
A crowd
of children came and were very happy to hear stories (I brought the storybooks
of Luke, the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, etc). They made me thought
of the kids I know in the centres (New immigrants' Centre in Tsuen Wan and
Little Little Angels Fellowship in North Point Alliance Church) I am volunteering
in.
團員J和E在地上畫了個創世記十字架(七格),教孩子們跳飛機。很欣賞他們的創意。
Team members
J and E drew an "airplane" on the ground with 7 squares (to illustrate the
Creation story) and taught the children to play. I really appreciate their
creativity.
Because He
lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know who holds the future
and life is worth the living, just because He lives

早上十時到機場,晚上八時到了湖北陽新縣(離武漢三個小時的車程)的一間教會。
不幸地,被機場收起了我放在背包內的剪刀。
Arrived at the
airport at 10am and a church in Yanxin (3-hour ride from Wuhan) in Hubei
at 8pm.
Unfortunately, the scissors in my backpack was taken out at the airport.

怎樣提醒賣菠蘿的女孩4/4交稿呢?碰巧見到絮蘭在日記內寫詩,我就突然詩興大發,寫了這首詩:
《買菠蘿飽的母親》
當波蘿飽只是一元一個時,孩子不過是一米多高
店員數著掌上的三個大銀,總會問:你的孩子都上學了?
(還沒有,待我回家後,喚醒他,
一起吃過早餐後,他才揹著書包上學去)
孩子的臉蛋是個菠蘿飽,啃著啃著,
鬍子也長出來了
(早晨,媽咪)
孩子挽著公事包,趕忙拿起菠蘿飽,
出門口了,公事包裡是甚麼呢?
--小鳥的眼睛,衝出沒有盡頭的火焰,
搖著木筏,去找桃源外的乾坤--
是的,一本厚厚的支票簿,
簽了名字,沒有銀碼,
不消一天便給出去了
(晚安,媽咪,下次不用等我回來才去睡)
寂靜的星星是菠蘿飽的碎片
填不滿歲月的裂縫
孩子,或母親,始終會睡去的。
也許只能在一幅照片前
去捕捉思念和回憶
菠蘿飽裡面的確有過
母親給孩子的溫暖和愛
21.03.2002 (Thur)
只有當你明白自己正無條件地被神愛著--亦即是完全被接納,你才可能無私地施予。......不少的付出和接受是含有暴力成分的,因為付出者和接受者的行為,是源於需要多過由於信任。看似慷慨,實質卻是操縱;看似是愛,實質卻是渴求情感和支持。當你知道自己是完全被愛,你就可以因應他人接受的能力而施予,並且可以因應他人付出的能力而去接受。你會因著所得到的而充滿喜樂,但卻無須牢牢地抓緊著;你會因著自己能夠付出而感到歡欣,但卻無須因此自吹自擂。你將會是個自由的人,自在地去愛。
容我再上路:
我決定要重獲自由,可以自由自在地去愛......
儘管他/她沒有我期待的反應,但我知道我所付出的,都記載在神永恆的賬簿裡......
既然付出去的愛猶如禮物送出去了,我再不在乎他/她怎樣處置這禮物......
他/她若珍惜,我當然高興。他/她若不珍惜,我也釋然......
我的心靈釋放了......我變得很自由......
盧雲,心靈愛語110至111頁
In Him alone lie our security, our confidence, our trust. A spirit of restlessness and resistance can never wait, but one who believes he is loved with an everlasting love, and knows that underneath are the everlasting arms, will find strength and peace.
God is in the waiting. "It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect." (Ps. 18:32).
Elisabeth Elliot, Quest for Love p.163
今日收到許多"禮物"/驚喜:
1.朋友的好消息
2.螢影的情人節禮物
3.朋友的提醒--要做一張checklist
4.朋友即將送我有李錦洪簽名的書
5.朋友送我一對粉藍色的襪
6.十九歲的詩友穿了對鴛鴦襪,他說藍色襪襯上衣,啡色襪襯條褲。(這樣穿襪也可以?!)
7.朋友還我書。每每看裡面的內容,我都得著提醒。
8.在天道見到新一期的時代論壇。(我是週五才收到的。)
9.我請胡老師買新民中心的籌款券。券的最大金額是100元,她竟給我500元。這除了顯示她的慷慨外,也代表她對我的信任。(我可以很狡猾呢!)
10.Helen給我他和David的結婚照和相架。我把它放在睡房的櫃上(怪怪的!)
神的恩典的確很多很多,祂竟然愛我......

如果今日可以點唱,我想點這首歌給認識我的人,特別給(即將)放假的你,即將做伴娘的你,即將結婚的你,即將受浸的你,忙於做PowerPoint的你,看自己的文看到厭的你,仍然為自己的文而興致勃勃的你,在湖北的你,即將去湖北的你,忙於做功課的你,昨日電來為我打氣的你,為要作大決定而煩惱的你,即將去旅行的你,日子過得平淡的你,手術後休息的你,即將做手術的你......,還有特別特別要送給昨晚借了我耳朵的你。
《紅日》
命運就算顛沛流離 命運就算曲折離奇
命運就算恐嚇著你做人沒趣味
別流淚心酸 更不應捨棄
我願能 一生永遠陪伴你
一生之中兜兜轉轉 哪會看清楚
彷徨時我也試過獨坐一角像是沒協助
在某年那幼小的我 跌倒過幾多幾多落淚在雨夜滂沱
一生之中彎彎曲曲我也要走過
從何時有你有你伴我給我熱烈地拍和
像紅日之火 燃點真的我
結伴行 千山也定能踏過
讓晚風 輕輕吹過
伴送著清幽花香像是在祝福你我
讓晚星 輕輕閃過
閃出你每個希冀如浪花 快要沾濕我
19.03.2002 (Tue)
同事們把x999元獎金送給RK,之後他給我們這個電郵:
多謝各位同事的心意,我會收埋佢入餅乾罐,唔話俾老婆知,因為可能以後老婆只俾
20 蚊一日零用我,重叫我有淨買隻雞番屋企添!
本星期日就係我「入倉」(stock date)的日子,如果各位有時間,請來紅棉道看看我怎樣失去自由..........
一個就快入倉的可憐人上
晚上去聽張小鳴講一本書的誕生。他開始時講了許多理念的理論。原來出版一本書,最難的不是編輯、設計、印刷等程序,而是開頭時要考慮的理念︰
這本書的受眾是誰?
這本書要帶出甚麼信息?
I am beginning now to see how radically the character of my spiritual journey will change when I no longer think of God as hiding out and making it as difficult as possible for me to find him, but, instead, as the one who is looking for me while I am doing the hiding. When I look through God's eyes at my lost self and discover God's joy at my coming home, then my life may become less anguished and more trusting.
--Henri Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal
(可以寫首捉迷藏的詩啊!)

某同事最近頸背生粉瘤,需用紗布遮蓋。其他同事笑他裝了智能卡,還示範向後彎腰"do"八達通(在地鐵,在大家樂等)的不同姿勢,很好笑。
朋友本來上我家吃晚飯,可惜我臨時要加班,不能準時回家吃飯。他只好上來我公司拿了要借的書,然後買粥回家吃。實在不好意思,不好意思......
17.03.2002 (Sun)
多謝朋友的熱情款待。祝福你終有一個有福人能每天嘗你親手做的菜!
我留下的是那首愛歌的琴聲嗎?你留下給我的是......有很多,其中難忘的是你失笑時噴在我臉上的橙汁!
Frances給我香港話劇團的"年刊",新傾城之戀(有謝君豪,劉雅麗和蘇玉華)和讓我愛一次(重演)都應該幾好看。他們有話劇創作比賽,我想叫朋友參加,不過到三月尾才有詳情。
嬰兒室內,有個頭又方又扁的男孩喊足全場,又要我抱足半場。小時候的我們也是這樣嗎?
The Christian life, I believe, does not primarily center on ethics or rules, but rather involves a new way of seeing. I escape the force of spiritual "gravity" when I begin to see myself as a sinner who cannot please God by any method of self-improvement or self-enlargement. Only then can I turn to God for outside help - for grace - and to my amazement I learn that a holy God already loves me despite my defects.
Philip Yancey, What's so Amazing about
Grace?
(my favorite author,
Chinese title: 恩典何奇異?)
既然有這麼多的見證人 像雲彩圍繞著我們
就應該放下各樣重擔 脫下纏累我們的罪
既然有這麼多的見證人 像雲彩圍繞著我們
以堅忍的心向前奔跑 那擺在我們前面的路程
讓我們專心 專心仰望耶穌 那信心的創造完成者
以合一的心並存忍耐 奔跑我們前面的路程
讓我們專心 專心依靠耶穌 曠野中的安慰引領者
以喜樂的心並存盼望 奔跑我們前面的路程
∼專心仰望耶穌(讚美之泉第六集)

在君美如婷的"邀請"下,上了小明星的家吃飯。這是我第一次上中心會員的家吃飯呢!
在中心認識了幾個七、八歲的小會員。希望他們會參加即將開鑼的喜樂團,認識主耶穌!

(呆望著熒光幕,不知寫什麼。聽著活著多好的midi。今天辦公室內只有七人,早上十一時前只有我,RK和Janice。買了VCD,回家看"安娜瑪德蓮娜",套戲太無聊,我無話可說。第一次見偉瑩穿裙子,Janice笑她更似快要結婚〔組外的同事以為我們貼錯了對聯,以為是女同事出嫁〕。一團人吃下午茶時,阿輝努力為我查"自恃"和"自持"的分別。愈來愈覺得前幾天寫的文很差。很想再多寫兩篇。愈去想朋友的文章,我想一天會發瘋。幸好,已還了。我不想再作任何批評,雖然今天又發現"原故"和"緣故"是相通的。對不起,我改錯了。)
14.03.2002 (Thur)
雨希叫我看她的留言簿(www.voy.com/76631/)。我笑說每天給她寫一個字,寫上十天便成一句話。她問我是不是要寫:我愛你,真是愛你的。
寫詩繪畫創作好比吃飯的女孩子,加油呀!
我要向山舉目,我的幫助從何而來,
我的幫助從造天地的耶和華而來。

在沉悶的物理powerpoint中遇見有趣的字眼︰
位移=慧儀
初速度=初出道
朋友把兩封利是寄來我的office。他說要在正月結束前給我。哈哈!只要有利是收便行,正月不正也不緊要呢!
耶和華是我的力量,是我的盾牌,
我心裡倚靠祂就得幫助,
所以我心中歡樂,我必用詩歌頌讚祂。

晚上去聽周淑屏講人物採訪和寫作。以前只從文字上見過她的名字,以為她是個肥胖的中年女人,殊不知她很年輕,很瘦削,有點似李碧心。她講課似教中學生,我初時想早走,但後來她講多些自己做訪問的趣事,就蠻吸引。
我見過你成功,也見過你失敗,但未見過你放棄。
11.03.2002 (Mon)
催人交稿難,自己真正寫稿更難,尤其是在要在工作上做powerpoint的日子! 應該在年初三開始寫的稿,到今晚才匆匆落筆寫了很爛的三篇。
10.03.2002 (Sun)
和Frances帶小勤和小銀去香港公園,之後在麥當勞吃飯。
當我們興高采烈地玩"係唔係"的遊戲時,隔鄰一個人坐著的中年女人問我們(她的臉上沒有笑容):
她們不是你們的孩子吧?
不是。
因為你們是教徒,所以帶她們出來?我從你們的對話中聽到什麼耶穌。
沒有特別的關係的。
你看她們多麼的失禮!把茄汁擠到盤子上。
小孩子總是這樣的。
你叫人家怎樣清理盤子呢?
(我們四人都沒有答話。)
小勤,吃完未?若吃完,便走。(逃避,是我的解決方法。)
她罵她們的同時,也正在罵我們沒有好好管教她們(雖然她們不是我們的孩子)。我的心很難過。或者是我和那女人在乎的事情不同。我在乎她們有沒有謝飯禱告,快不快樂,而她著重對別人的身同感受。雖然難受,但我多謝她的責罵。
不要把茄汁擠到盤子上,以前我和Vicky也提醒過她們。(我的想法也很"自私"的:盤子甚髒,吃了盤子上的茄汁會拉肚子。)今次有陌生惡女人責備她們,她們一定會聽話吧!
這兩天,共花了差不多六七個小時看朋友的文章(共120頁呢,暫時只看了108頁)。忍不住做起編輯的工作。給別人改錯字,不好受,會覺得編輯乞人憎。專教中文的老師也會仔細讀他們的文章,給予更適當的指導。上次告訴朋友的錯字後他都沒有更正。究竟我為什麼還要看下去呢?值得花時間嗎?每次查字典時,都這樣問自己。不知道,大概是職業病發作吧。

True prayer is another name for the love of God. Its excellence does not consist in the multitude of our words, for our Father knows what we need before we ask Him. True prayer is that of the heart, and the heart prays only for what it desires. To pray, then, is to desire or long for, but to desire what God would have us desire. He who asks, but not from the bottom of his heart, is mistaken in thinking that he prays. Even though he spends days in reciting prayers in meditation, or forcing himself in religious exercises, he does not truly pray if he really does not desire and yearn for the things he pretends to ask.
Francois Fenelon, Talking with God
今日才知道原來無頭東宮昨晚已大結局。不知結局怎樣呢?
晚上六時,小強電來說正等我吃飯。可惜,為了不要讓家人以為我當家是酒店,我今晚沒有去中心。很掛住你們和二陂坊!
08.03.2002 (Fri)
晚上和月尾一起去湖北的部分組員吃飯開會。六人中,只有我一個的母語是中文,硬著頭皮在他們面前講Hong Kong accent的英文。他們不懂中文,只能說很少很少的國語,但對中國很有負擔(其中兩個曾到那裡短宣/教書)。我深刻體會到:
因為神賜給我們,不是膽怯的心,乃是剛強,仁愛,謹守的心。

在www.36.com的信仰版看到結他王子的見證。那裡還有許多人的見證,我最想看的是李卓人的(又是姓李啊!)。

三月尾,RK結婚,之後去俄羅斯度蜜月。Maria下週五開始放三個星期的大假,一個人去法國旅行。
今日RK給我們這個搞笑的電郵︰
各位,眾所周知,本月
24號為小弟小登科的日子,從此本人將失去自由、金錢、自尊、人性........,為慶祝這個大日子,現設宴(lunch)款待各位同事,人情就當然......
不用了,希望大家賞面。
小弟原本打算明天請客,但亞輝要上堂,下星期一至三我又放假,星期五 Maria已開始去法國找她的理想 — 喪波、Pierre 、LV 、Chanel......。所以得番下星期四,各位得閒嗎?請覆,謝謝!
PS : 好多謝大家貼係門口的對聯,如果邊個可以係三秒內背出對聯,請到樓下McDonald 取漢堡包鎖匙扣一個。先到先得。
(那個對聯是:天賜良緣皆好合/蓮開並蒂結同心)
方舟團契為胡老師慶祝生日。在蛋糕前,我們唱了首歡欣。
06.03.2002 (Wed)
放工後又去新書館,買的全部都是禮物。部分是for月尾將會在湖北見到的小孩子。買時很難揀,因為組員有些不諳中文,國內的孩子又不懂繁體字,最後我買了圖多字少的書(故事,手工,模型)。希望用得著,即或不然,小小天使也必定喜歡!
看絮蘭的網頁,聽到她新一首背景音樂--陽光路上(可能已換了很久,只是今天才知道),很有青春氣息,很醒神!願你在家庭,學業,感情上每天都走在陽光路上!
我這世界要跟你去分享
我也有過半天迷惘
對我過去半分鐘的淒愴
愛過痛過再次換來開朗
我的心裡你心裡有天窗
05.03.2002 (Tue)
晚上和阿輝、偉瑩去聽編製堂會或機構刊物的課。阿輝笑那位講員的每句話都可以做標題,例如︰「我的筆名是編輯室」。
實在很佩服別人的創意(改名、設計、編排等方面)和對時事、身邊人的需要的敏感度!
朋友看了我的相片後,不敢相信我有紅白機。其實那部紅白機是Vicky借同事的。最不敢相信的事,應是我去年才從Vicky口中認識這過時的玩意呢!
04.03.2002 (Mon)
聽到古巨基改編自天黑黑的歌。當然是天黑黑好聽些!
上載了相片(因為要借相機給小君,有半筒菲林是亂拍的。):
03.03.2002 (Sun)
Stephen通知我,學校團契的Edward和Elsie六月結婚。恭喜恭喜!
在家姐家發現Passion and Purity的中文版。為甚麼她未出嫁時我在家中見不到?
02.03.2002 (Sat)
聽到小強唱這首歌:
我曾經像一隻小小飛鳥
飛躍在這藍天海上
我無時無刻徬徨無助
找不到可以傾訴
我曾經像一隻小小飛鳥
穿梭在這城市之中
我正在尋找那慈愛雙手
那就是主耶穌
主啊,我要回到你身旁
我要回到你身旁
那慈愛雙手正等著我 來擁抱我
主啊 我要回到你身旁
我要回到你身旁
那慈愛雙手正等著我 來擁抱我
那就是主耶穌
小鳥飛上天,會覺得無依無靠;飛不高,又滿懷失落。無論是飛過碧海,或是飛過沙漠,只要在全能者的蔭庇下,就會滿足。小鳥即使飛得幾高,也有極限。我願你在至高者的隱密處,無時無刻感到被愛和被接納。
01.03.2002 (Fri)
Often when we come to God in prayer, we do not feel like praying. What should we do in such a case? Cease praying until we feel like it? Not at all. When we feel least like praying is the time when we most need to pray. We should wait quietly before God and tell Him how cold and prayerless our hearts are. We should look up to Him, trust Him, and expect Him to send the Holy Spirit to warm our heart and draw us out in prayer... Many of the most blessed seasons of prayer I have ever known have begun with a feeling of utter deadness and prayerlessness. But, in my helplessness and coldness, I have cast myself upon God and looked to Him to send His Holy Spirit to teach me to pray. And, He has always done it.
- R. A. Torrey, How to pray
同事P為快要結婚的RK買了迎婚的對聯和"揮春"。趁RK放工後,阿輝興致勃勃(我和Janice都覺得奇怪!)又費熬思量(因不想貼在RK位,貼在其他人的位也不可能)地找好位置佈置。不知RK下週一回來時有何反應呢?
