bird nest


今年的生日除了收到朋友親手造的生日咭外,也收到一些很名貴的禮物,其中一份是我的老友freda送的燕窩。當她把禮物放在我面前,讓我猜是甚麼禮物時,我只是見到一個外表很精緻的、像飯盒袋的物體。她笑笑口說我一定猜不到是甚麼。我見她這個樣子,心想必定不是一般的禮物,突然心中想,大概她攪盡腦汁也不知可以送甚麼禮物給我,於是便送上她自己公司的貨品----燕窩。於是我一猜便中了!我忽然覺得自己很聰明。=)

令我開心的不是名貴的禮物,而是我們十多年的友誼。

Book review 10 – Letters for Emily

Another good read. Letters for Emily is about life lessons; simple but essential lessons we should know. Emily’s grandpa wrote a book of poems for his grand-daughter. These poems contain life lessons which were just in time to save the marriage of Emily’s father, who once again experienced the love of his father –just like when he was four and his father caught him from falling from the tree.

*Have dreams, but be content with your journey.

*Choice in life is between good and evil.

*Always do your best.

*Of all the lessons in life, the one taught here is one of the most difficult to learn, that of forgiveness. I am not speaking of forgiving others but of forgiving one’s self.

這是我今年的第一份生日禮物,是舊同事sui kwan親手造的生日咭。她記得我喜歡深藍色,所以造了這張咭。除了封面的海星外,裡面還有一隻可愛的小蜻蜓呢。很美的一張咭!sui kwan的手工造得很好,我覺得她可以攪攪小生意。

thanksgiving dinner

2008年年底參加了教會的感恩見證愛筵,我們的美好傳統是每人帶一些食物,今次也不例外。通常年底的感恩見證愛筵是最多食物的,今年的食物放滿了三張長枱,另外,甜品放在另外一張近門口的枱上。食物之多比任何酒店的自助餐更豐富,有牛腩、沙律、壽司、豬頸肉、碗仔翅、五穀粥、意粉、燒味、不同款式的菜、蒸魚、炸蝦片、腸仔煙肉、栗子雞、牛舌、朱古力mousse、綠豆沙、紅豆糕、印尼椰汁糕、蛋糕、朱古力、糯米糍等等,我並未能夠嘗試每一款食物。

接著的屬靈食物也很豐富,年長的、在職的,以及年幼的都見證神在過去一年如何保守,賜夠用的恩典,在危難中加力量,並且得到弟兄姊妹的代禱和扶持;也有些是在平常生活經歷神的帶領,感受到神的看顧。

展望新的一年,神提醒我們要「放下重擔,脫去容易纏累我們的罪,存心忍耐,奔那擺在我們前頭的路程,仰望為我們信心創始成終的耶穌。」
