体验彼得.梅尔式的山居时光

彼得.梅尔笔下的普罗旺斯生活充满了喜乐与诱惑,因着他的散文魅力,偷几天光阴享受一把可能这辈子都未必能实现的山居岁月是一件多么惬意的事情!虽然眼下无法追寻梅尔的脚踪感受普罗旺斯的缕缕清风,可是却依然无法阻隔我心中的盼望,享受依山傍水的田野风光。
 
在田野旁边的那庄就是这座有点偏僻却依山傍水小村庄。两、三层高的房子,还有洒满阳光的院子,院子里种满各样花草蔬菜,门前的树上结满了桔子、石榴、无花果...普通得名不见经传没几个人光顾,却是充满原汁原味的村庄。吃过早饭,随意在院子里的树上摘桔子或石榴,边摘边吃,又或者帮忙主人剥自家种的毛豆,晒晒太阳吹吹凉风。中饭吃得都是地里出产的最新鲜食材。下午在附近村庄转转,瞧瞧老房子,看看山和水。不必开那么远的车去游人区看人为修饰的风景,不必与那么多人挤来挤去。晚饭时喝着主人家自己发酵酿制葡萄酒...看着他们享受着自给自足的生活,这么多年,用地里生长的最新鲜的原料,过着朴实的乡村有机生活...啊~~如此与当地人一样过着普通生活,而不是像游人一样匆匆到此一行,这就是我喜欢的懒散和随意。
 

布永康 -- 十间房子的故事

火焰布道家──布永康在非洲一个布道会中说了这样的一个故事: 
有一位年轻人,他拥有一栋极漂亮的房子,这栋房子有两层,上层有五个房间,下层有五个房间,总共十个房间。他非常高兴拥有这栋房子,而且引以为傲。  
有一日,有一个人轻轻敲门 咯咯,咯咯~~他开门,惊讶地发现原来是主耶稣。 
耶稣对他说∶「我敲门想要进来,你要让我进来吗? 」
年轻人十分高兴,说∶「欢迎你主,我要把最好的房间给你住,请进,请进。 」
耶稣是个绅士,他说∶「谢谢你。」 
年轻人说∶「这栋屋子最好的房间在楼上,里面有最好的家俱,是最大最好的房间。 」
于是他走到楼上说∶「主耶稣,这是你的房间。 」
耶稣是个绅士,他说∶「谢谢你。 」
第二天早上,有人急急地敲门 咯咯咯咯咯咯~~
年轻人心想谁敲门敲得这么急...他打开门,看看是谁... 是魔鬼... 
年轻人立刻叱喝∶「走开魔鬼!」 
魔鬼说∶「不!我已经进来了! 」
年轻人说∶「我不要你! 」
魔鬼说∶「我已经进来了! 」
于是两人便开始扭打成一团。 魔鬼整天都在年轻人心中注入污秽的试探,情况危急... 到了晚上,年轻人才勉强把魔鬼推出去,将门锁上。他筋疲力尽。 
之后,他想∶「等一下,耶稣住在我家,他为什么不帮助我,他难道没有听见我在喊叫,需要帮忙吗?他为什么不来帮助我? 」
于是,他走到楼上,对耶稣说∶「主耶稣啊,难道你没听见魔鬼整天在烦我吗?你为什么不帮我 ? 」
耶稣说∶「孩子,在这十个房间中,你住了九间,我只住了一间。 」
年轻人好像被敲了一下,说∶「噢,主啊,我知道我犯了错误,我们一半一半好了,你住楼上,我住楼下吧。 」
耶稣是个绅士,他说∶「谢谢你。 」
到了第二天早上,又有人急急地敲门了 咯咯咯咯咯咯~~
年轻人想∶糟了!魔鬼又来了!我不想开门..可是,万一是别人呢?我怎么知道不是别人呢?我只要开个小缝就好了; 
偷看一下,如果是魔鬼,我就赶快关门。 
于是他把门只开了一小缝,从里面偷看一下...是谁? 又是魔鬼... 他赶快想要关门,但魔鬼的脚很瘦,它用脚挡住门缝,于是他们又扭打了一整天,情况实在激烈... 到了晚上,年轻人才勉强把魔鬼推出去,将门锁上。他筋疲力尽。 
之后,他想∶「等一下,我给耶稣一半的房间,包括最好的房间,耶稣为什么不来帮助我,我一定要问问他。 」
他走到楼上说∶「主耶稣啊,魔鬼又来找我了!你为什么不帮我?我给你五个房间。 」
耶稣说∶「孩子,我们换个做法好了,你把十个房间都给我,然后你来住我家,而不是我来住你家。把十个房间都给我,你来住。 」
年轻人跪了下来,他把前门的锁匙拿出来, 他说∶「主耶稣,我现在把整栋房子交给你,从今天起我要住在家,这样做好吗? 」
到了第二天早上,太阳出来之前,有人用力敲前门 咯咯咯咯咯咯~~年轻人还在睡觉,他吓得跳下床,哭丧着脸,说∶「魔鬼又来了... 」
当他哭时,突然不敢相信自己的耳朵,他听见房子里有脚步声∶踏...踏...踏踏 ,就想∶「我不再是房子的主人,开门是房子主人的责任。 」
他看见耶稣走下楼梯,以万王之王、万主之主的姿态,把门大大的打开;年轻人躲在耶稣后面,他想看会发生什么事。
当魔鬼看见是耶稣站在门口,它就恭敬屈膝。 
魔鬼说∶「对不起,我敲错门了! 」
有些时候我们只给了耶稣九个房间,却在第十个房间的门口贴了一张特别的告示∶「闲人勿进」。为什么?因为他们在第十个房间放了污秽的东西,放了酒,他们在那里犯罪,他们不要耶稣进去,因为他会看出不对劲。骗得了全世界,但骗不了耶稣,因为神的眼睛像火! 
心好比房子,把整栋房子给耶稣吧!把整颗心都给耶稣吧!甘心乐意事奉他,让耶稣为你争战,耶稣会打败魔鬼!

God knows what you need...

I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. 
 
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned. 
 
I asked God to give me happiness. 
God said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
 
I asked God to spare me pain .
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
 
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
 
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No. 
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things. 
 
I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said.......Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
 
THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY
My God Blesses You! 

Gospel

These days there are some people who dont believe in Jesus Christ and are only filled with the knowledge of the world. They have no knowledge of the Gospel, but they ridicule it as the words of ignorant people when they hear, "If you believe in Jesus, you will be saved and go to heaven." Such people may say that even though they dont believe in Jesus, they can go to heaven as long as they are morally and ethically right and serve humanity.
 
But the Gospel of Christianity is not like that at all. Accepting the Gospel means that we are born again and receive eternal life by believing in Jesus Christ. Our lives can take root in eternal heaven, and we can be free from sin and guilt and enjoy freedom and pleasure. Because of the Gospel, we can come out of the emptiness and meaninglessness of life, gain the true worth of life, and also reside in the power of God that brings resurrection from death. Consequently, as long as we live in this world we can win over sin, Satan's temptation, desperation, illness, poverth, and hardship, to create a new life. This is the Gospel.
 
 

Faith

Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
 
No wonder that the answer never comes back until the letter dorps into the post-office box. In other words, nothing will be accomplished if distrust holds on to a corner of it. Too many things tell me this simple truth of what faith is. Learning to trust letters to the postman, learning to let something goes out of hands, and learning to trust the Lord!
 
 
 

happiness saved

Feel so empty when I see Y姿姐's luggage cause she will be back Tainan tomorrow morning. I truly love this funny girl like her just because of her good character and her smile (and pretty sure any of you will agree with me if you guys having chance knowing each other), although we know each other less than 5 months. Hope anything happened to her in the future goes well and God blesses her in any case!右侧拥抱
 

转载-上帝的无奈

美国著名牧师葛培理的女儿安妮于911后被美国某电视台邀请出席节目。

主持人单刀直入地问:“为何神会让此等悲剧发生?”
她以神的睿智,道出一番见解:“我深信神跟我们一样,为此事极度痛心。但美国人在这些年来,将神从学校中赶走、将祂从政府内踢走、将祂从我们生活中剔走。我相信神只有默默地从我们的生活中无奈淡出。当初是我们自己叫神离开,为甚么现在又要问祂到底在那里?为甚么我们有权质问神,为何不保护美国人?不如让我们回顾美国这几年的道德发展,好吗?”

某年,有人提出:“学校内不可祈祷,因为学校应宗教中立,学校无权要求学生祈祷。”
我们说:“没问题!”
某月,有人觉得教导人:“不可杀人、不可偷盗、要爱邻舍」的圣经落伍,不如把它从学校中拿走。”
我们说:“没问题!”
某日,有人说:“孩子的自尊心很脆弱,我们不应使用体罚。”(说这话的人,他的孩子最终自杀身亡。)
我们说:“没问题!”
某刻,有人说:“时代变了,老师、校长不应责罚学生,学生承受太大压力了。”因怕惹怒家长,引起传媒报导,学校不敢处罚学生。
我们说:“没问题!”

又有人说:“孩子有人权,他们有权接受堕胎手术,更没有责任通知父母。”
我们说:“没问题!”
他说:“与其闪闪缩缩,不如主动教孩子如何使用安全套。反正孩子都是好奇嘛,婚前性行为,没甚么大不了!”
我们说:“没问题!”
有人说:“工作跟私人生活应分开,只要那总统能搞好经济….. 我们干吗要管人家的私生活?!人人都有私隐嘛!”
我们说:“没问题!”
有人说:“浏览色情网站是个人自由,即使是儿童色情网站又如何?这都是个人言论自由,关你甚么事!”
我们说:“没问题!”
有人说:“现代人应有开放思想,电视、电影的色情、暴力,只不过在反映社会实况。关于毒品、强奸、谋杀的歌词,也不过是宣泄情绪、纾缓压力……为何要大惊小怪?想做就去做嘛!”
我们说:“没问题!”

成年人为社会订下以上种种「社会制度」后,我们又要追问:“为甚么现今孩子没有良知?为何孩子持枪杀人?为何13岁的孩子已为人父母?为甚么911惨剧要发生?” 神无奈地答:“孩子呀!是你们不许我踏入你们的生命。”

 

有趣的是,人们离弃神,却又质问神为何整个世界正走向地狱的门口。

有趣的是,我们相信报纸所说的,却质疑圣经上所说的。

有趣的是,你可以透过电邮发出笑话,并且很快被广传,但当你发出与神有关的信息时,人们却犹豫。

有趣的是,不雅及色情的文章在网上自由地发放,但在学校及工作环境中,对于神的公开讨论却被抑制。

 

...

若细心思索,不难发现这一切是我们自己做成的,我们亲手摧毁了自己所栽种的!

see u, Jeff

This is a last hug to my coworker Jeff cause he leaves us and goes back to USA today! Sigh... saying goodbye is sooooooooo hard... I dount like the feeling any more.

a reminder to myself

Have you angered when you are failed in some ways? And what's your reaction at the moment generally? Humiliation? Or criticism?...In other words, have you felt disappointed for self sometimes? Perhaps at the moment when your temper is out of control; perhaps at the moment when the person you love feels hurt because of your terrible words...
 
A special and wonderful way is learned from a person I know who has way of restoring all the worse! You won't be berated, humiliated or criticized and you won't be asked for resolutions, recommitments, even promises to try harder. What is going on? He just takes us aside and asks us to reaffirm our love for Him, like he does it as before. It is a sentence that my eyes and my heart both are catched.
 
Much appreciate for my friend sharing this good book with me. Hope the way can be remembered and well done in any case.
 
 

哗啦啦啦,下雨了

幸福
就像盒子里的巧克力糖
什么滋味?
充满想象
 
失望
是偶尔拨不通的电话号码
多试几次
总会回答
 
哗啦啦啦啦啦啦,下雨了……阴雨连绵的梅雨六月,需要一些温暖围绕!彩虹

pray for China

在人类的竞技运动中,每打破0.1秒、甚至是0.01秒的世界记录,都不知道背后要付出怎样的代价,比如时间、努力或者运气,等等等等,才能最终达成梦想。可是,可是,可是……老天爷却一次又一次地、轻而一举地,就打破了自然界的规律:好像2008年初中国南方的大雪,眼下又发生了始料未及的四川地震……真的不敢再多想,让这一切就到今天停止吧;无论如何,我都愿意献上最真诚地祷告,保佑那些受到伤害、失去亲人的无辜同胞,终能重新振作幸福生活;保佑这个温暖的国家,国泰民安,顺顺利利!
 
因为,我坚定地相信:一切灾难的背后,都蕴藏着无限的祝福!
 

没有人愿意遭遇灾难、承受痛苦,可也因着这些的存在,令某些容易被忽略的事情变得信实:比如我们还有自由的呼吸,比如每天的太阳的都是新的……感谢上帝吧,感谢他赐予我们每个全新的一天;感谢他赐予我们欢乐,也赐予痛苦;感谢他赐予我们智慧,带领我们在不同的境遇中学习不同的功课!
 
感恩,就是这次的功课!

Cinderella

......

I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

Cause I know something the prince never knew

Oh, I will dance with Cinderella

I don't want to miss even one song

Cause all to soon the

clock will strike midnight

And she'll be gone

......

......

This is a song touthing my heart in Steven Curtis Chapman's concert and my tears rolled down as soon as I heard it yesterday. He said all thoughts about it had been from his 2 youngest daughters adopted in China. One night, he was too much work to studio and writing songs but his girls just wanted to play. They were pulling at him and putting on her dress for practice her dancing cause there was a ball at a castle they needed to go to. However, Steven, the father, got frustrated and was angry because of too tired and said "No, go to bed right now!" Finally, they had to go to bed but never stop and said "Story, tell us a story, daddy~~" No time for story, 2 little girls wanted to sleep, did it, went to bed!!!!! Nevertheless, he thoughts about his older daughter after awhile and how quickly the time was...so he does not wanna to miss one memont being with the daughters cause he knows all to soon the clock will strike midnight and she will be gone one day...

  

......

Something sad happens today. Pretty sure I'm not anger but feel a little bit disappointed about the whole picture. Anyway, I know the Lord is right being there with me and everything in control, ALWAYS!

depends on ur mind

I was listening a speech yesterday that a topic about "Influence" had been sharing by a HR Director from Johnson Co. Ltd. What a coincidence that I'm reading an Eng book rencently from Dale Carnegie "How to Develop Self-Confidence & Influence People by Public Speaking". To be honesty, I'm never short of self-confidence but it is a big topic for me about how to be influence and I am looking it for being with me, always!
 
That's true, the emotion depends on ur mind to have a choice, for gentle or for anger at one second moment. Every body knows this the simplest principle, however, ....hrmm, let me tell u a touched story I'v heard...
 
A couple had a own child when they became old. One day, the baby drank a bottle of water unknown while he was at home alone. Unfortunately, he died of it as well as he was on way the hospital. his mother was heart-stricken and could not believe the incredible truth, but she had to tell his father what was happening actually. He was shocked in his office at once and got to there minutes later. What do u think his first words to his wife? And, how about u if u were the husband? I could not believe it was "I love u" he said!!! Unbelievable, right???
 
Sometimes, ppl may not change the reality but can control something inner of self. It just depends on u and ur mind. Yes!

日记

昨天遇到的一件事情,着实又让我抓狂了一把。回头想想,这情绪已经很久没来骚扰过了,唉……如果把真实的场景描述出来,真难以想像大家的表情:不置可否?难以理解??滑稽可笑???可是,可是,可是……就是有一些事情会让我不知所措、难以自制、情绪大乱呀!

老鼠--最大的软肋,哪怕小小的插图都不可以,立刻、马上、全体消失

《Tom & Jerry》--噩梦的开始,想失眠的话就尽量看吧

青椒--这的味道令我窒息,所以与之混在一起的统统置若罔闻

皮蛋--更是绝缘体,只因为小时候的一次呕吐经验

咖啡--它的果效只是个传说,从来没在我身上发挥过任何作用

运动--被我定义为是通往幸福的路径

棉被--无论春夏秋冬一定必不可少,因为它就是"安全感"

眼神儿--从小到大视力一路保持最佳,可直到现在仍然不懂得看路、看人

东南西北--就是"晕头转向"的代名词,依靠左右和感觉也足够了

迷糊--生活写照,今天忘钥匙,明天忘电话,如果有一天齐活儿才怪事儿呢

计划--工作的状态,极度无法忍受"不知道明天要做什么",否则神经错乱

……

……

我知道,我知道,我怎么不知道!我也讨厌抓狂的情绪,不喜欢沉不住气的表现……可有些东西与生俱来、力不从心呀 困惑

smile, my sweet

My sweet tells me she has arrived Australia in safety. This's the first time in her life to take a flight. Thanks god everything is fine! 眨眼 She has been planning studying aboard for 2-year long. I know how working hard she is especially in language and the major preferred. It is like the Chinese saying goes: "Practice makes perfect." I am so happy her dream to be true finally.
 
I estimate she doesn't feel very well in a new environment and everything seems like unconfortable such as food, life habit, no friends, no family etc cause there is not home of our own. I understand how feel bad u r and I understand everything is much more difficult than ever in the begining as well, however, u r such a nice girl in my mind and I'm sure lots of good friends must be around u like here in the near future. Just smile when u feel lonely, and talk to me on MSN when u r down or troubles come...Remember to listen my favorite song "Raise me up" when u r weary! Something bad must be gone quickly, trust me!
 
Love ya, my sweet heart. Hope to meet u in Australia soon! 大笑

言寡尤,行寡悔

子曰:“事君数(cu4),斯辱矣;朋友数(cu4),斯疏矣。”--《论语.里仁篇》
顾名思义,我想众所周知的“豪猪哲学”即是最佳的解释吧。无论是对朋友还是亲人,都应该把握一个分寸,适度为最好。
 
有一群豪猪,大家挤在一起过冬。它们老有一个困惑,就是不知道大家在一起以一个什么样的距离最好?离得稍微远点吧,冬天就冷,互相借不着热气儿,大家就往一起凑凑凑凑;结果一旦凑近了,彼此的刺都扎着对方了,就又开始往远,但是再远的话,大家又觉得寒冷;又想借助别人的温暖,就有再凑;凑着凑着又受伤了,然后再拉远……多少次磨合以后,豪猪们终于找到了一种最恰如其分的距离。那就是,在彼此不伤害的前提下,保持着群体的温暖。
 

子曰:“多闻阙疑,慎言其余,则寡尤;多见阙殆,慎行其余,则寡悔;言寡尤,行寡悔,禄在其中矣。”--《论语.述而篇》
顾名思义,孔老夫子要我们多闻、多见、慎言、慎行;一个人如果在说话里面少了很多抱怨,在行为中少了很多让自己后悔的经验,做事就能成功了。道理总是说起来简单,做起来难,不容易达到啊!所以借鉴一下别人的经历,总会带来一些启发的。
 
有一个坏脾气的小男孩,一天到晚在家里发脾气,特别任性,跟家人经常摔摔打打。有一天,他爸爸希望想个办法让他可以改善,就拉他到他家的篱笆旁边说‘儿子,你以后这样,你以后每跟家人发一次脾气,你就往篱笆上敲一根钉子,看看你到底发多少次脾气。’这孩子想说,那怕什么的,我就看看吧……嚷嚷一通儿,梆,自己敲一个钉子,嚷嚷一通儿,梆,又敲一个钉子……一天下来,自己一看‘哎呀,一堆钉子’自己也觉得有些不好意思了。他爸爸说‘你看,你要克制了吧?你这儿一天说了多少错话,跟大家发多少火儿啊’。儿子问要怎么克制呢?爸爸说你就争取一天不发脾气,你要是能做到一整天没发一次脾气,那你就可以把你敲的钉子拔下来一根。原来这小男孩已经密密麻麻得钉了一片的钉子了,原来是发一次脾气钉一根,现在要一天不发脾气才能拔一根,多难呀,就学会了克制!不断地克制,觉得真难,但是他想把钉子拔关,就克制克制……等到他把篱笆上所有的钉子都拔光的时候,他终于觉得自己已经学会克制了,可以不发脾气了。他发自内心、欣喜地去告诉他爸爸,‘爸爸,你去看看,篱笆上的钉子已经都拔光了,我现在不发脾气了’。他爸爸与他一起来到篱笆旁边,爸爸又对他说了一句话‘孩子,你看一看,篱笆上的钉子都已经拔光了,但是那些洞永远地留在了那里。其实你每向你的亲人、朋友发一次脾气,就是往他们的心上打了一个洞,钉子拔了你可以道歉,但是那个洞永远不能消除。’
 
所谓“先行其言而后从之”,人在做当下一件事,哪怕是凭着冲动做的事情,都先想一想‘再往远会怎么样呢’?说话要用脑子,做事要考虑后果,也就是孔老夫子所说的“言寡尤,行寡悔”的意义所在吧!
 

不是每件事情都要面对“覆水难收”的无奈状况,但敢于回头面对事实的勇气一定要有,用心思考到底出了什么问题、为什么会这样。。。这里所有的文字既是与朋友的一点点分享,也是敦促自己不断改善与自醒,毕竟在一种新观念植入之前,需要依靠好习惯的养成。持续学习与习惯思考可以让我们心变得更宽广,因为心有多大,舞台就有多大!

forgiveness

First time I got the word frogiveness 4-year ago & it was heard from Dr. Liu who is a director in my current company because of a question--how to be enjoyed with a person felt bad in working? He answered me after thinking for a while--"Forgave it". I admit that I cannot understand what his words & the real meaning until now.
 
Second time is right now here when I'v heard it with a clear voice from my mind. I know it cannot be ignorance any more this time. In fact, something terrible happenes this week and I am getting in annoyance. I totally confuse what is going on so that I must ask for a help. Rainbow, one of my trustiness gfs, is no doubt a right person. She is clear-eyes as well as I tell her the details. Not only is lesson-learn awared of this matter, but she gives me some useful tips to overcome it--be myself.
 
I wish to thank Dr. Liu for sharing the thoughts and to thank my Rainbow for help me out in this matter. Also, special thanks to the god planing angels always around me anytime. Everything goes back original.
