《当我老了》——写给孩子的一封信

2008-10-16 星期四

Heard this over radio 1003 last year.  However, at that time, my blog were unable to write nor display Chinese character.  As such, I had kept it in my PC.

Now, since, I have updated my Blog version, and I wanted to reopen my blog (Have not update since 1 year ago…)

Very nice and meaningful:

当我老了,不再是原来的我。
请理解我,对我有一点耐心。

当我把菜汤洒到自己的衣服上时,
当我忘记怎样系鞋带时,
请想一想当初我是如何手把手地教你。

当我一遍又一遍地重复你早已听腻的话语,
请耐心地听我说,不要打断我。
你从小的时候,我不得不重复那个讲过千百遍的故事,
直到你进入梦乡。

当我需要你帮我洗澡时,请不要责备我。
还记得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗?

当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时,请不要嘲笑我。
想一想当初我怎样耐心地回答你的每一个“为什么”。

当我由于双脚疲劳而无法行走时,
请伸出你年轻有力的手搀扶我。
就像你小时候学习走路时,我扶你那样。

当我忽然忘记我们谈话的主题,请给我一些时间让我回想。
其实对我来说,谈论什么并不重要,
只要你能在一旁听我说,我就很满足。

当你看着老去的我,请不要悲伤。
理解我,支持我,就像你刚开始
学习如何生活时我对你那样。

当初我引导你走上人生的路,
如今请陪我走完最后的路。
给我你的爱和耐心,我会报以感激的微笑。
这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。

Clouds of Praise

2007-08-28 星期二

I met Agnes (蒂娜) last Sat in my church.  It’s been a while, maybe 10 - 20 years since we last met.  Though I heard she was in this missionary work, I did not make an effort to contact her to find out more.  However, with God’s grace, she came to my parish St Anne’s Church to raise funds by selling their CD

I was indeed touch by their work. Especially for their Leader, Bernard, he given up his full time highly paid job and turn to GOD Work.  Reading his Bio from the site, he had given up his Car, House and Income, his families are all in tune to support him.  Judging from their work, they are fruitful!  GOD BLESS THEM!

I have a chance to chat with his young boy, who turn out to be a pleasant  surprise.  A boy of age 11 but very GOD Loving.  I bought a CD from him knowing that he composed one of the songs.  I bummed into him again half-an-hour later, and to my surprised, he greeted me:  “赞美感谢主,愿主祝福你!“ which mean “Praise & Thank GOD, May GOD bless you”  I spoke to Bernard and praise his good parenting to bring up this kid, and Bernard turn to GOD “it’s all GOD’s grace.  HE had blessed us much!”

I have never come across anyone so GOD loving and I sense it, he said it from the bottom of his heart!  Knowing they are related to one of my choir members, I found out that they are indeed, not just GOD loving in front of us, stranger, but they practice it daily at home.

I have an urge to join them, to learn from them, their Faith, their Love, their GODLY.

May GOD Bless them!

What will you bring?

Heard this interesting IQ questions in church today:

If there is a place having drought for many years, one day, a priest, monk, or religious highest authority sermon everyone for a pray of rain.  The only criteria is all must come with an object of faith, what will you bring?

Life Lesson from Noah’s Ark

2007-01-18 星期四

Everything I Learned about Life I Learned from Noah’s Ark

  1. Don’t miss the boat.
  2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.
  3. Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark.
  4. Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old someone may ask you to do something really big.
  5. Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
  6. Build your future on high ground.
  7. For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.
  8. Speed isn’t always an advantage - the snails were on board with the cheetahs.
  9. When you’re stressed, float a while.
  10. Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Devotion - Productivity and Purpose

2006-12-05 星期二

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart… it
is the Lord Christ you are serving. - Colossians
3:23-24

IN WORD

Surveys indicate that more than half of employees are
dissatisfied with their work situation. Much of that
is human nature: In our eyes, the grass is always
greener somewhere else. But the issue goes deeper than
a general, natural discontentment. We want to know
that our work matters and many people come to the
conclusion that theirs does not.

It is easier to find meaning in some jobs than others
but nearly all have an apparent pointlessness in one
or more areas. Whether our work is as predictable as
an assembly line, as impressive as a political or
economic power trip, or simply as profound as raising
children and managing a family, we often have a deep
seated desire to be more, to do more, to see more
results. Deep down, we want to be important. (more…)

Anger and Forgive

2006-10-14 星期六

Was in Novena today and the priest preach about anger and forgive…

“A soilder was shot at his leg during Gulf war and needed to be cut off.  He was interviewed and was asked if he was angry about his enemy.

He replied, he was and found out that been angry and not fogiving make himself feel worst and it did not mean anything to his enemy.  In the end, he realised that once he stop angry and forgave, he felt relief and better.

Miracle

2006-09-01 星期五

A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet.She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully.  Three times, even.  The total had to be exactly perfect.  No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall’s Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.

She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment.  Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing.  She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster.  No good.  Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter.  That did it!
