後來我。。。 Finally I…

有時候聽到一些悲傷的事,我們會很震驚。。。
有時候聽到一些喜事,我們也會震驚。。。
原因是,兩者都沒預料到。

Sometimes upon hearing some sad news, we feel kind of shocked…
Sometimes upon hearing some good news, we can also feel kind of shocked…
Reason being, both are things you do not expect.

 

 

能平靜下來,和勝過“震驚”感,我想我們待人處事的態度很重要,從上帝的角度看事情和對上帝的信靠更是重要!
今天收到一個讓我很“震驚”的消息,其實是屬於“好消息”類,然而讓我真的有點始料未及。跟一些比較親密的同伴分享過後,大家都好像很擔心我會怎樣,他們的關心讓我感動,也讓我有點不好意思要他們操心。

To be able to calm down and overcome the “shock”, I think our attitude towards people and things is very important. Looking at things from God’s angle and our trust in God are even more important!
Today I received some news that really “shocked” me, actually it can be classified as a “good news”, but did really take me by great surprise. I shared with some closer companions, they all seem rather worried as to how I would feel, their concern touched me and also made me feel bad to cause them to worry.

 

但我這邊想跟大家說,我很好,放心。。。
我的上帝始終都會對我很好。。。
But here I would like to say to you all, all is well, don’t worry…
My God will always be very good to me…

 

 

後來我。。。我安靜下來。。。
後來我。。。抬起頭來,把腳步邁開,相信前方有美好日子在等待。。。

Finally I… I calmed down and…
Finally I… I looked to the sky, I moved on and I believe there are better days ahead for my life…

 

糟了!快被我吃光了! Oh dear! Just about eaten up by me!

 

 

(***先声明以下写的只是幽默好玩,你们不要太认真。。。这世界已经很沉重,放轻松一点!哈哈哈!!)

其实每当人送我吃的东西的时候,我不会特别兴奋,除非刚好是我非常喜欢的东西,但是那个的机率很渺茫。。。
原因并不是我很挑剔,而是因为。。。

通常不可能马上吃,或吃完,因此要收起来,而我储藏空间很有限。。。
然后收起来了,我就会忘记吃。。。
忘记吃了,过期了要丢掉又会很内疚。

 

(*** Let me stress first, what you read below is mainly for humour and fun, don’t be too serious… this world is already very heavy, relax a bit! Hahaha!!)

Actually when people give me food gifts, I would not be particularly excited, unless they happen to be something I really love to eat, but the chances of that are very slim…
Well, it is not because I am very fussy, but…

Normally I cannot eat it straight away or immediately finish eating it, therefore I need to keep it and my keeping space is very limited…
Then after keeping, I would forget to eat it…
After forgetting to eat, it will expire and I would feel very guilty to throw it away…

 

 

 

不特别兴奋也因为很常收到不是我很爱吃的东西,或者说很少东西是我爱吃的,或者说我就不爱吃东西,哈哈哈!真是多事!!

Not particularly excited because many times I would receive things I do not really love to eat, or rather there are very few things that I love to eat, or rather I just do not love to eat things, hahaha! So troublesome!!

 

 

有时也担心收到很喜欢吃的,因为我们这个年龄,吃一点点就会发胖,喜欢吃的东西又会没节制的吃不停。。。

Sometimes concerned too that I might receive things I really love to eat, because at our age, we can put on weight easily just eating a little, and I may not have the discipline to stop eating when it is something I love…

 

 

那天去西马布道回来,有人送我在安顺买的饼,我一看马上没兴趣,还很不领情的说"干嘛送我这样的东西?"。。。
但后来想想,这种东西老人家会喜欢,可以转送给妈妈,所以就收下来了。。。

That day when we came back from our mission trip to West Malaysia, someone gave me some cookies bought in Teluk Intan. As soon as I saw them,  I was totally not interested and even said very unappreciatively “Why give me something like that?”…
But then I thought, the elderly like this kind of things, so I could give them to mother instead, so I decided to receive the gift…

 

 

但送妈妈也不能乱送,因为她品味很高,不容易满足她的味觉!
所以本人一定要先品尝才可以送给母亲大人。

But I have to be careful in giving mother something to eat because she has high taste, it is not easy to satisfy her taste buds!
So I myself must first try it before I could give it to Her Highness.

 

 

但因为太忙,拖了又再拖,也因为自己不太愿意吃,结果一直没拿给妈妈。。。
直到有一天肚子太饿找东西吃,看到这饼就随便拿来吃。。。
天啊!不吃则已,一吃不可收拾!一片又一片不停的吃,真的太好吃了!
若不逼自己停止,妈就没得吃了!所以今天赶快拿过去给妈妈吃。。。

But because I was too busy, I kept delaying, and also because I was unwilling to eat the cookies, as a result I still had not given them to mother…
Until one day I was feeling very hungry and looking for something to eat, I saw these cookies and just simply took one to eat…
Oh dear, once I started eating, there was no return! One piece after another piece, I did not stop eating, they were too nice!
If I did not force myself to stop, mother would not have a chance to eat them! So I quickly brought them to mother today…

 

 

哈哈,通常我不太喜欢吃这些的,但这一次真的是一个惊喜,可惜就那么一包,但也好,要不然后果不堪设想。。。哈哈!
就是这饼啦!嗯。。。这里有安顺人吗?哈哈哈!

Haha, normally I do not like to eat such things, but this time I was really pleasantly surprised but what a shame only a packet, but just as well, otherwise there would be disastrous consequences… haha!
It is these cookies! Err… is there anyone from Teluk Intan here? Hahaha!!

 

我不是周杰伦。。。I’m not Jay Chou…

 

周杰伦是音乐才子,很蒙恩宠,我们都晓得。
周杰伦的粉丝和支持者之多可想而知,所以他的言行举止都可以影响很多人,无论正面或负面;所以那天在报章上读到(我也上载在我面子书)说,周杰伦已认真信主,并将在年底受洗,我们听了都雀跃万分,很是兴奋。

Jay Chou is a music prodigy and very well-favoured, we all know that.
So we can imagine the multitude of fans and supporters Jay has, so his every action and word can impact many people, whether positively or negatively. Therefore when I read from the paper that day (which I have posted on my Facebook too) that Jay Chou has seriously believed in Jesus and is going to be baptized end of this year, we were all very happy and excited to hear.

 

 

为着周杰伦信主受洗而高兴欢呼,当然没有错,也很应该,因为他毕竟是上帝所爱的。。。
但我们往往会忽略到的是“平常人”信主受洗时,我们仿佛没特别兴奋或激烈反应。事实上,不管是你、是我、或任何人,只要真心信主受洗,天父都一样开心和感动。。。

耶稣在路加福音15:10说:“我 告 诉 你 们 , 一 个 罪 人 悔 改 , 在 神 的 使 者 面 前 , 也 是 这 样 为 他 欢 喜 。”

Of course there is nothing wrong to rejoice and get excited because Jay Chou believes in Jesus and is baptized, and in fact we should, because he is someone God loves…
But what we often neglect is when “ordinary people” believe in Jesus and are baptized, we do not seem to be as excited or overjoyed. The truth is, whether it is you, or I, or anyone else, as long as we sincerely believe in Jesus and are baptized, our Father God is equally as happy and moved…

Jesus said in Luke 15:10 “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

 

 

给我本身,看到老人家信主受洗,我会异常的感动。。。
因为在他们年纪老迈时,还有机会回到上帝面前的确很感人。。。
刚刚过的礼拜六,我们给56个人施洗,其中有7位是六十岁以上,照片中的房伯伯是当晚最年长的,85岁高龄!

Personally for me, I feel especially touched when I see the elderly believing in the Lord and baptized…
Because to see them having a chance to return to God when they are advanced in age is indeed very touching…
Just last Saturday, we baptized 56 people, and among them, 7 are above the age of 60. Uncle Fang in the photo is the oldest that night at 85!

 

 

当晚56个人受洗,天上的使者就大庆祝56次!同样的周杰伦受洗的那一天,使者也会大庆祝!
所以要晓得,你我虽不是周杰伦,天上还是会为我们庆祝的;因此也让我们记得,无论是谁信主,我们都要一样的欢喜快乐!

That night, 56 were baptized and the angels of God celebrated 56 times in heaven! Similarly, the day when Jay Chou gets baptized, the angels will celebrate as well!
Therefore do remember, you and I may not be Jay Chou, there will still be celebration for us in heaven; and let us all remember too, whoever it is that believes in the Lord, let us all be as happy and excited!

 

 

老实说,那一晚,为着这56位欢喜时,我心里也有一丝丝的伤感,因为往往我们受洗的人数都接近100人以上。。。
主啊,我们是不是救灵魂退步了?求祢保守我们的心,如同祢爱罪人的心一样,救灵魂从不放松、从不冷淡,阿们!

Honestly, that night, while feeling happy for these 56 people, I was kind of sad too in my heart, because normally the number baptized is about 100 or more…
O Lord, have we gone backward in saving souls? Do guard our hearts to be like Yours, to love sinners and save souls always, never to slack or grow cold, Amen!
