2022年4月1日 星期五 祝福早安 天氣多雲 氣溫8℃ 《英文愛藏:那一年我們各奔東西》 各奔東西 總讓我想起畢業季 或許2022年就是我們各奔東西 在五六月份畢業答辯結束以後 我們真的說再見再見不會太遙遠 好好珍惜每一個還能活着的日子 Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. 生活就像一盒巧克力,你永遠不知道下一個是什麼. ——《阿甘正傳》 May there be enough clouds in your life to make a beautiful sunset. 願你的生命中有足夠的雲翳,來造成一個美麗的黃昏。 英文字的“四月”(April)據說是從拉丁文的動詞Aperio演變來的,意思是“開放”,因爲一切樹木花草,都在這時萌芽綻放,我們踏進了鳥語花香的季節。 親愛的讀者,如果你尚未得救,甚願你的心與大自然一樣得着復甦,敞開你的心門接受主。每朵盛開的花都在提醒你,這是尋求耶和華的時候。 你是否告訴我,青春的熱血正在你的脈搏中跳躍?我懇求你,把自己的活力獻給主。我年輕時蒙主呼召,那種喜樂無以言喻,爲此我每天都頌讚祂。救恩是無價的,開門迎接它吧!若在年輕時就蒙神的恩典,更有加倍的價值。 青年人!你既然有在壯年之前夭折的可能,那麼現在就是尋求耶和華的時候。若你開始覺得衰老,就要加快腳步,因爲嗆咳虛熱都是不容輕視的警告,它在對你說這正是尋求耶和華的時候。 在一度烏溜的長髮中,你找着縷縷銀絲嗎?歲月無情,死亡的腳步逼近,讓每一次春天的來臨,提醒你省察自己。親愛的讀者,若你現在年事已高,容我懇求你不要再耽延,今天就是蒙恩的日子,你要爲此感謝神。畢競這樣的年日是有限的,隨着鐘錶的滴答聲,它會變得越來越短…… 讓我從心靈的深處,以一個神僕人的身份提醒你:“現今正是尋求耶和華的時候”。不要忽視這句話,它可能是你邁向人生終點最後的一次呼聲,是從恩典的嘴脣中所發出的最後一句話。 「約10:27」 我的羊聽我的聲音,我也認識他們,他們也跟着我。 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. Love after Love 愛復愛 The time will come 這樣的時刻將會來臨: when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving 你得意洋洋地 at your own door, in your own mirror 站在自家門口,照着鏡子 and each will smile at the other's welcome, 迎接自我的到來以微笑歡迎彼此, and say, sit here.

There is gain and loss in your life, so you may catch sight of those unseen, and remember those forgotten. Nevertheless, doesn’t the unseen exist for sure? Will the remembered remain forever? 生命中,不斷地有人進入或離開。於是,看見的,看不見了;記住的,遺忘了。生命中,不斷地有得到和失落。於是,看不見的,看見了;遺忘的,記住了。然而,看不見的,是不是就等於不存在?記住的,是不是永遠不會消失?
