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…

昨天是大年初一，恰逢是礼拜天，我们当然还是有主日崇拜，但改为只有早上联合一堂，也缩短至两小时罢了（平常都大概三小时。。。）
大家都不太相信我能缩短我的道，但感谢主，我还是做到了，哈哈。。。

昨天我心血来潮就预备了120个红包给主日学小孩，一散会就报告说他们可到前面来跟我握手领红包。。。
天啊，不报告则已，一报告之下，百多个小孩就像父母从没给过他们红包一样冲上来，几乎把台上的键盘都推翻了，真的好恐怖！吓得保安人员冲上来保护我，哈哈！

我本不知当天会有多少个小孩来教会，但所准备的120个红包就那么巧不多也不少的给完了！而且每个小孩都有，感谢主！
昨天我才发现原来我的魅力那么强。。。对不起，我宁可欺骗自己也不要承认是红包的魅力！哈哈！

看到每个小孩拿到红包这么开心，自己也很开心！
其实，红包里的数目只有区区几元，但小孩并不太在乎里面有多少钱，只要有礼物或红包拿就会很开心；所以我想一点小小意思就能逗得小孩那么开心，的确是很值得的。。。
大家若能够不妨也可以试一试，这样世界可以更多欢乐，而且小孩也会觉得教会充满乐趣。。。

It was the first day of the Chinese New Year yesterday and it happened to fall on a Sunday, so of course we still had our Sunday service as usual, but we changed it to just one service in the morning and shortened it to merely two hours ( normally about three hours…)
The congregation could not quite believe I could shorten my sermon, but thank God I did it, haha…

I had a sudden inspiration yesterday to prepare 120 “angpows” ( Chinese traditional “red packets” with money inside as gifts for Chinese New Year ) for the Sunday school kids, and at the end of the service I announced that they could come up and shake my hand to claim the “angpow”…
My goodness, the announcement really caused a “dam-burst” as more than a hundred children just rushed forward like their parents had never given them any “angpow” before and the keyboard on the stage was almost knocked over even, how scary! My security people were immediately alarmed and rushed to protect me too, haha!

I did not know how many children would come to church yesterday, but it was such a coincidence that all the 120 angpows I prepared were snapped up not one more or one less! And every child had one, praise the Lord!
I only realised yesterday I was so popular among the kids… sorry, I would rather deceive myself than to admit that it’s the angpows that attracted them! Haha!

Seeing each child so happy upon receiving their angpow, I felt very happy too!

Actually the amount in each angpow was only a few Ringgit, but kids are not so concerned as to the amount, they feel happy as long as they receive a gift or angpow; so I think it is really worth it if a little effort can make children so happy…
So I encourage you to try likewise sometimes, and this world would be more joyful, and the kids would find church is full of fun too…
