Connecting the dots

"This is my desire to honour You, Lord with all my heart I worship You, All I have within me I give You praise, All that I adore is in You, Lord...I give You my heart, I give You my soul, I live for You alone, Every breath that I take, Every moment I'm awake, Lord have Your way in me. " Break me, mold me, transform me each day. This is my prayer.

I am so thankful for the past week that I can share thoughts, experiences, feelings and a lot more with Ed, Joyce, MS, Jac, ES, Mike, ZL, SC, EC and many other friends. It was quite sometimes I didn’t have quality conversation. I really appreciate the time we spent together! they motivated me, uplifted me, encouraged me, inspired me, blessed me…and I am sure they will always do. They shared out of the heart. I don’t know how to explain my excitement to u but exchanging thoughts, experiences with them was so much fun! I also learn to be a better listener. We live in this world, is not lone ranger but meant to be in a community, live with people around us. Enjoy the time spend with one another, you will find it is a joy .

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart form me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). Do you need more power and strength in your life today? When you are connected to the Father through Jesus, you are connected to your life source. Just as a branch is sustained by the vine it’s attached to, we are sustained by being attached to Him. If you think about how fruit grows, it doesn’t just happen over night; it takes time and the right conditions. In the same way, the spiritual fruit in your own life develops over time, too. You might be tempted to get discouraged if you aren’t seeing “fruit” as quickly as you’d like, but be encouraged today! If you’ll keep your heart humble before the Lord and stay connected to Him through prayer and studying His Word, you’ll see that fruit begin to form in your life just as He promised! You’ll see the fruit of joy, which is strength. You’ll see the fruit of love and peace, which will sustain y...

昨天去了一趟医院, 心有感触... 在等待升降机的当儿, 看见一位母亲抱着他的儿子, 看那孩子的身高, 大概有9岁了吧... 看见他的样子, 心都痛了...他每吸一口气或呼一口气, 我都能听到有痰的声音在他的喉咙里, 使他必不得已用更多的力气... 呼吸对他而言, 很辛苦... 还可以看见他的眼眶里忍不住的泪... 他也不时会望着妈妈, 发出很痛的呻吟... 我并不了解那孩子的状况, 但是仿佛可以体会他母亲的心情, 眼睛也红了... 有一次和我妈及伯母到医院去探访刚动了手术的堂弟. 同一个病房里有其他也动过手术的小孩, 一些在大声的哭, 有的在喊痛, 有些呢没哭也没喊, 但身上插着一些喉... 妈妈和伯母不敢多望一眼, 因为会很伤感而忍不住眼泪, 这是妈妈的心情. 那时的我很难体会她们的感受... 人越长大, 感触越多, 能体会的事也多了, 眼泪也很时常会失控地流... 感恩所有遇见的人, 事, 物...我会好好收藏所有珍贵的回忆. 用心体会吧!

一个星期六下午, 他和她在同一间咖啡屋。两人点了爱喝的Irish Coffee,不加糖。 他在看书, 而她也看着同一本书。不时会听见他们咯咯大笑, 身边的人也禁不住偷笑起来了。 一直坐到傍晚时分, 他们才离去。 他向老板娘说声谢, 她向服务员微笑点头。  不知道过了多少个星期六, 他们又回到了同一间咖啡屋, 选了同一张桌子。 他红着双眼, 点了Irish Coffee; 她泪流满面, 熟悉她的服务生也为她点了Irish Coffee.。这一次, 他们坐到店快要打烊才回家, 两人擦身而过。 无数个星期六过去了, 他们脸上又带着笑容,向咖啡屋的老板娘和服务生打招呼! 这一次, 他们没有点Irish Coffee, 反而向老板娘要了有点儿酸又带些甜的柳橙汁。 终于, 他们的眼神有了交集, 两人微笑了。

有对失业的年轻夫妇, 在早市摆摊子, 靠微薄的收入维持一家五口的生活. 这对夫妻,丈夫喜欢养鸟,妻子喜欢种花. 即使失业, 鸟笼里依旧传出悦耳的鸟啼声, 阳台上的花儿依旧鲜艳夺目. 失业后的他们, 收入减少许多, 却仍快乐不已, 邻居们都感到讶异. 一天,记者去采访他们. 丈夫说: “我们虽然无法改变目前的境况, 但是我们可以改变自己的心态.” 妻子说: “我们没了工作, 可是不能没有快乐.” 是的, 活着就要快乐. 不管你失去了什么, 千万不要失去快乐! 我相信, 笑一笑, 世界会更美好! = D

一个人在回顾自己的一生时, 发觉在人生的旅途上有两组脚印… 属于他和上帝的, 但最令他困惑的是, 在他人生低潮和最失意的时候, 地上却只有一组脚印, 他不解地问上帝: “为什么在我最需要你时, 你却不在?!” 上帝用慈祥的声音回答说: “孩子, 当你看见一组脚印时, 那正是我背着你!” 今天我们走的是什么路? 蓝天白云, 花香遍野, 脚步轻盈? 或是双肩沉重, 前路崎岖, 风雨重至, 一步一艰辛, 希望有人扶你一把? 只要你愿意, 无论是怎样的旅程, 耶稣都会和你走过.
