不只小孩,连大人也冲上来!! Not just the kids, even the grown-ups rushed forward!!

难得有人拍下这我仅有的一张小孩涌上来领红包的照片(还有别人拍到吗?),有些还是父母亲抱上来呢,哈哈。。。
Glad that someone captured this only picture of the kids rushing towards me to receive their angpows (anyone else captured the shots?), and some were brought by the parents even, haha…

可是当天不只小孩哦,好多青少年和成人也涌上来,当然他们不是也上来抢红包,他们是上来跟我握手祝福我。。。而且好一些大人还“抢着”给我红包呢!哈哈哈。。。
But it was not only the children who rushed forward that day, many young people and adults did too, but of course they did not do so to get the angpows, they were wanting to shake my hand and bless me… and many adults many adults even “fought” to give me angpows! Hahaha…

谈到成人给我红包,你不收也不行,他们会挤进你手里或放在那边就跑掉;你告诉他们不必给,他们还是预备了;收下了跟他们说“谢谢,上帝赐福你!”反而看到他们很开心的笑了。。。

就像我给小孩们红包一样,同样的,重点不在于红包的大小,其实我都晓得他们有一些经济还比我差(甚至一些年轻人也给我红包)。。。他们带着的是一颗爱牧师和对牧师感恩的心,这一点足以让我很感动。。。

Talking about the adults giving me angpows, you just had to accept because they would squeeze them into your palm or leave them there and go off; even after telling them not to give, they would still prepare; instead they would be so delighted and smile happily when you accepted and said “Thank you, may God bless you!”…

It is the same with my giving the kids angpows, the point is not how much the angpow is, in fact I know some of them are not as financially well off as I am (even some young people gave me angpows)… they did it because they love their pastor and they are grateful, for that I am very touched…
