凡事自有安排


北歐一座教堂裡,有一尊耶穌被釘在十字架上的苦像,大小和一般人差不多。因為有求必應,因此專程前來這裡祈禱,膜拜的人特別多,幾乎可以用門庭若市來形容。教堂裡有位看門的人,看十字架上的耶穌每天要應付這麼多人的要求,覺得於心不忍,他希望能分擔耶穌的辛苦。有一天他祈禱時,向耶穌表明這份心願。意外地,他聽到一個聲音,說:「好啊!我下來為你看門,你上來釘在十字架上。但是,不論你看到什麼、聽到什麼,都不可以說一句話。」這位先生覺得,這個要求很簡單。於是耶穌下來,看門的先生上去,像耶穌被釘在十字架般地伸張雙臂,本來苦像就雕刻得和真人差不多,所以來膜拜的群眾不疑有他,這位先生也依照先前的約定,靜默不語,聆聽信友的心聲。

來往的人潮絡繹不絕,他們的祈求,有合理的,有不合理的,千奇百怪不一而足。但無論如何,他都強忍下來而沒有說話,因為他必須信守先前的承諾。有一天來了一位富商,當富商祈禱完後,竟然忘記手邊的錢便離去。他看在眼裡,真想叫這位富商回來,但是,他憋著不能說。接著來了一位三餐不繼的窮人,他祈禱耶穌能幫助它渡過生活的難關。當要離去時,發現先前那位富商留下的袋子,打開,全部是錢。窮人高興得不得了,耶穌真好,有求必應,萬分感謝地離去。十字架上偽裝的耶穌看在眼,想告訴他,這不是你的。但是,約定在先,他仍然憋著不能說。接下來有一位要出海遠行的年輕人來到,他是來祈求耶穌降福他平安。正當要離去時,富商衝進來,抓住年輕人的衣襟,要年輕人還錢,年輕人不明究理,兩人吵了起來。這個時候,十字架上偽裝的耶穌終於忍不住,遂開口說話了...既然事情清楚了,富商便去找冒牌耶穌所形容的窮人,而年輕人則匆匆離去,生怕搭不上船。

偽裝成看門的耶穌出現,指著十字架上說:你下來吧!那個位置你沒有資格了。」看門人說:「我把真相說出來,主持公道,難道不對嗎?」耶穌說:「你懂得什麼?那位富商並不缺錢,他那袋錢不過用來嫖妓,可是對那窮人,卻是可以挽回一家大小生計;最可憐的是那位年輕人,如果富商一直纏下去,延誤了他出海的時間,他還能保住一條命,而現在,他所搭乘的船正沉入海中。」

這是一個聽起來像笑話的寓言故事,卻透露出:『 在現實生活中,我們常自認為怎麼樣才是最好的,但事與願違,使我們意不能平。 我們必須相信:目前我們所擁有的,不論順境、逆境,都是對我們最好的安排。若能如此,我們才能在順境中感恩,在逆境中依舊心存喜樂。』人生的事,沒有十全十美。但是,我們應認真活在當下。
送給你一段『馬斯洛』說過的話:心若改變,你的態度跟著改變;態度改變,你的習慣跟著改變;習慣改變,你的性格跟著改變; 性格改變,你的人生跟著改變。在順境中感恩,在逆境中依舊心存喜樂,認真地活在當下。讓世界因為我們,而變的更美好!
朋友傳給我的,世事冥冥中有主宰,如果還不是時候去明白,不用急,總有天會明白。

我想你知道


我知道,你以爲你給我的愛不夠多不夠好,怕好夢不長讓我嘗盡離合悲歡,我該找個可以給我更多更好的人來與我一生繾綣,有一個幸福快樂的人生。

我想你知道,我認爲你給我的已經很多很好,聚散無常禍福相依如四季轉變,讓我偶爾牽你手陪你走,相信珍惜現在,瞬間便能成永遠。

我還想你知道,因爲想念你,我用粉紅熒光筆把我們見面的日子在日曆上打圈,記下當時去的地方,一邊數著我們隔了多久才見面,我每天戴著你送我的項鏈,還有我買給自己,配上我們名字簡寫的水晶吊飾銀手鏈,我會急不及待的查看你給我的電郵,留意你當時的心情(今天沒有笑臉 :),會不會心情不好?會不會累壞?),還有翻閲你給我的流動電話短訊......

這是那晚我故意錯過十一時的回程,就是為了多看你一回而選擇默不作聲,可以看你思索、呢喃、吃飯、駕車、皺眉,可以看你笑,看你自言自語,就是我為愛以捍衛的吉光片羽。

以上種種,我都珍惜,只要珍惜,瞬間便會成爲永遠。

Silje Nergaard- The Waltz



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8r6aLt64ek

Strike up the band let it play
Love songs to haunt me and I will stay
But when it comes to a waltz
Both words and music will ring false

For you waltzed in and spun my world
Around in dizzy dance I swirled
But suddenly you waltzed away from me

Those violins, they must go
So no careless hand with a bow
May play on the strings of my heart
And make me remember how lovers part

How you waltzed in and spun my world
Around in dizzy dance I swirled
But suddenly you waltzed away from me

Strike up the band let it play
Whatever it chooses and I will say
Play me a waltz if you will
I'll sit here and listen waiting until

My love returns to take my world
And spin it round in dizzy swirl
Where girl loves boy and boy loves girl
And feet don't touch the ground

The World and You Tonight

Don't rush around
The world will wait for you
And too much time is lost
On all the things we have to do

There's nothing more important baby
Right now than you and me
So come a little closer darling
And turn the lights down low a key

And life could be so wonderful
A perfect home and a family
When you're lying next to me
I'm everything I want to be
With the world and you tonight
With the world and you tonight

With you my love
The world's a better place
And every day with you
Will hold a treasured memory

Your embrace
Could steal me forever
And nothing else matters
When I hold you in my arms

And life could be so wonderful
A perfect home and a family
'Cos you are everything to me
I'm the lock and you're the key
To the world and me tonight
To the world and me tonight
It's the world and you tonight
You are my world
With the world and me tonight

寵辱不驚

上週六,一位前輩在他領導的服務團體的周年慶祝會上,把他的墨寶送給我,邊說他為我寫的這幅有最多字,因爲怕我看不懂行書,所以再把以上電腦給我。

好一句「寵辱不驚」!

我只在乎你





如果沒有遇見你 我將會是在那裡
日子過得怎麼樣 人生是否要珍惜
也許認識某一人 過著平凡的日子
不知道會不會 也有愛情甜如蜜

*任時光匆匆流去 我只在乎你
心甘情願感染你的氣息
人生幾何 能夠得到知己
失去生命的力量也不可惜

#所以我求求你 別讓我離開你
除了你我不能感到一絲絲情意

如果有那麼一天 你說即將要離去
我會迷失我自己 走入無邊人海裡
不要什麼諾言 只要天天在一起
我不能只依靠 片片回憶活下去


E, Jesus loves you and so do I. Happy Birthday. :)

Things to do for the rest of 2009!

Don't take life so seriously!

DANCE
REST

KISS A LOT

RELAX IN NATURE

HAVE FUN

SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR VOICE

TAKE A BUBBLE BATH
AND BE HAPPY:)

Life is short! Break the rules!
Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!
Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably
And never regret anything
that made you smile!

Poem of Life - Author Unknown



Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord.


人生是驛站,我們相遇、停靠一起,
或許我先走,或許您先行,
分道揚鑣以前,還是希望陪著您走,
據説走到路的盡頭,
就會找到甜美的永生,永恒的平安。

沒有您,永生如何平安、甜美?
