你留意过自己的父母吗?

如果你在一个平凡的家庭长大，如果你的父母还健在，不管你有没有和他们同住！

如果有一天，你发现妈妈的厨房不再像以前那么干净；
如果有一天，你发现家中的碗筷好象没洗干净；
如果有一天，你发现母亲的锅子不再雪亮；
如果有一天，你发现父亲的花草树木已渐荒废；
如果有一天，你发现家中的地板衣柜经常沾满灰尘；
如果有一天，你发现母亲煮的菜太咸太难吃；
如果有一天，你发现父母经常忘记关瓦斯；
如果有一天，你发现老父老母的一些习惯不再是习惯时，就像他们不再想要天天洗澡时；
如果有一天，你发现父母不再爱吃青脆的蔬果；
如果有一天，你发现父母爱吃煮得烂烂的菜；
如果有一天，你发现父母喜欢吃稀饭；
如果有一天，你发现他们过马路行动反应都慢了；
如果有一天，你发现在吃饭时间他们老是咳个不停，千万别误以为他们感冒或着凉，(那是吞咽神经老化的现象) ；
如果有一天，你发觉他们不再爱出门……
如果有这么一天，我要告诉你，你要警觉父母真的已经老了，器官已经退化到需要别人照料了。
如果你不能照料，请你替他们找人照料，并请你请你千万千万要常常探望，不要让他们觉得被遗弃了。

每个人都会老，父母比我们先老，我们要用角色互换的心情去照料他，才会有耐心、才不会有怨言，当父母不能照顾自己的时候，为人子女要警觉，他们可能会大小 便失禁、可能会很多事都做不好，如果房间有异味，可能他们自己也闻不到，请不要嫌他脏或嫌他臭，为人子女的只能帮他清理，并请维持他们的“自尊心”。

当他们不再爱洗澡时，请抽空定期帮他们洗身体，因为纵使他们自己洗也可能洗不干净。当我们在享受食物的时候，请替他们准备一份大小适当、容易咀嚼的一小碗，因为他们不爱吃可能是牙齿咬不动了。

从我们出生开始，喂奶换尿布、生病的不眠不休照料、教我们生活基本能力、供给读书、吃喝玩乐和补习，关心和行动永远都不停歇。如果有一天，他们真的动不了了，角色互换不也是应该的吗？

为人子女者要切记，看父母就是看自己的未来，孝顺要及时。

树欲静而风不止、子欲养而亲不在！

你留意过自己的父母吗?

馬太福音(Matthew)6：24-34

一個人不能事奉兩個主；
不是惡這個，愛那個，就是重這個，輕那個。
你們不能又事奉神，又事奉瑪門。
所以我告訴你們，不要為生命憂慮吃什麼，喝什麼；為身體憂慮穿什麼。生命不勝於飲食嗎﹖身體不勝於衣裳嗎﹖你們看那天上的飛鳥，也不種，也不收，也不積蓄在倉裡，你們的天父尚且養活他。你們不比飛鳥貴重得多嗎？你們那一個能用思慮使壽數多加一刻呢﹖何必為衣裳憂慮呢﹖你想野地裡的百合花怎麼長起來；他也不勞苦，也不紡線。然而我告訴你們，就是所羅門極榮華的時候，他所穿戴的，還不如這花一朵呢！你們這小信的人哪！野地裡的草今天還在，明天就丟在爐裡，神還給他這樣的妝飾，何況你們呢！所以，不要憂慮說：吃什麼﹖喝什麼﹖穿什麼﹖這都是外邦人所求的，你們需用的這一切東西，你們的天父是知道的。你們要先求他的國和他的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。
所以，不要為明天憂慮，因為明天自有明天的憂慮；一天的難處一天當就夠了。

English Version
No one can serve two masters.
Either he will hate the one and love the other,
or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both GOD and MONEY.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field,which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.





GOD???
上帝？？？








MONEY???
金錢???






TIME???
時間？？？








LOVE???
愛情？？？

The Wooden Bowl

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four-year old grandson.
The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered.
The family ate together nightly at the dinner table.
But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult.
Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.
When he grasped the glass often milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
"We must do something about grandfather," said the son.
I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.
There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table.
Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.
Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather's direction, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.
He asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?"
Just as sweetly, the boy responded, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up."
The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
The words so struck the parents that they were speechless.
Then tears started to stream down their cheeks.
Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.

*For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family.And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled. Children are remarkably perceptive. Their eyes ever observe, their ears ever listen, and their minds ever process the messages they absorb. If they see us patiently provide a happy home atmosphere for family members, they will imitate that attitude for the rest of their lives. The wise parent realizes that every day that building blocks are being laid for the child's future.*

Let us all be wise builders and role models.
Take care of yourself, and those you LOVE,
today & everyday...

生命中你看重什么？

有一位父親存了很久的錢，終於買了一輛雪亮的新車。

他非常寶貝這部車，每天都洗車打蠟。

他五歲的兒子見父親這麼愛車，也非常興奮的幫爸爸一起洗。

父親有這樣一個兒子，非常滿意，深覺這個兒子很體諒為父的心。

有一天，這位父親很累，雖然車子因為淋了雨而顯得髒，但他實在太累了，心想，改天再洗車吧！

五歲的兒子見父親這麼累，就興沖沖的要幫爸爸洗車，父親見他人小志氣大，心裡更加得意，便放手讓兒子洗。
小兒子要洗車，卻找不到抹布。

他走進廚房，立時便想到母親平常炒完菜洗鍋子時，都是用鋼刷使勁刷才刷乾淨的，所以既然沒有抹布，就用鋼刷吧！

他拿起鋼刷用力的洗起車來，一遍又一遍，像刷鍋子一樣刷車。

等他洗完之後。「哇！」他大哭失聲，車子怎麼都花了？

這下慘了，他急忙跑去找父親，邊哭邊說﹕「爸爸，對不起，爸爸，你快來看！」

父親疑惑地跟著兒子走到車旁，他也「哇」的!一聲﹕「我的車！我的車！」

這位父親氣得走進房間，他十分生氣地跪在地上禱告：「上帝呀，請你告訴我，我該怎麼做？這是我新買的車，一個月不到，就變成這樣，我該怎麼處罰我的孩 子？」

他才禱告完，在他心裡忽然出現一個聲音：「世人都是看表面，而我卻是看內心！」 突

然間，他像是被點醒了。

他走出房門，兒子正害怕地流著淚，動也不敢動。

父親急得把孩子擁在懷裡，並且說：「謝謝你幫爸爸洗車，爸爸愛你，勝過這部車子。」


親愛的朋友，
生命中你看重什麼？
我們懂得愛嗎？

聖經中的話語和應許

「我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛神的人得益處，
就是按他旨意被召的人。」(羅馬書 8：28)

神說：「因為他專心愛我，我就要搭救他；
因為他知道我的名，我要把他安置在高處。
他若求告我，我就應允他；他在急難中，我要與他同在；
我要搭救他，使他尊貴。
我要使他足享長壽， 將我的救恩顯明給他。 」
(詩篇 91：14~16)
他對我說：「我的恩典夠你用的，
因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。所以，
我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我。」
(哥林多後 書 12：9 )

「盼望那無謊言的 神在萬古之先所應許的永生」
(提多書 1：2)
人常禱告求神給他們更多的信心，
但仔細一聽就能發現他們實際上是求更多眼見。
信心並不是說「這事對我有益，所以神 必成就」：
而是「事情是神成就的，這必對我有益！
信心只求在黑暗中有神緊握我手。 」

「我靠著那加給我力量 的，凡事都能做。」
(腓立比書 4：13)
信仰的寶貴之處，是當你生命能與基督聯合，
祂就成為提升的力量你也不再孤軍奮鬥，
祂總在身旁鼓勵你。

「耶穌設一個比喻，要人常常禱告，不可灰心。」
(路加福音 18：1)

灰心生失望，失望生不信，不信生失敗------
這是禱告的致命傷！
禱告不只 是呼求神，也是抵擋撒旦。
但願我們不敢隨意停止禱告，除非你已得著所求，
或是心中已有確據，相信且已經看見神必為你成就。

神的救恩 The Salvations Of God

生命的短暫：

「其實明天如何，你們還不知道。你們的生命是甚麼呢，
你們原來是一片雲霧，出現少時就不見了。」
（雅各書四章14節）
Life is short
James 4:14
"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life? It is even a vapour,
that appeareth for a little time,
and then vanisheth away."

人有罪，遠離神 ：
「因為世人都犯了罪，虧缺了 神的榮耀。」
（羅馬書三章23節）
Men are sinners, separated from God
Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

神的審判：
「按著定命，人人都有一死，死後且有審判。」
（希伯來書九章27節）
God's judgement
Hebrews 9:27
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment:"

耶穌基督是唯一的拯救：
「神愛世人，甚至將祂的獨生子賜給他們，
叫一切信祂的，不至滅亡，反得永生。」
（約翰福音三章16節）
「除祂以外，別無拯救。因為在天下人間，
沒有賜下別的名 ，我們可以靠著得救。」
（使徒行傳四章12節）
Jesus Christ, the only Salvation
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Acts 4:12
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there
is none other name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved."

神的福音：
「我當日所領受又傳給你們的，
第一、就是基督照聖經所說，為我們的罪死了，
而且埋葬了。又照聖經所說，第三天復活了。」
（哥林多前書十五章3-4節）
The Gospel of God
I Corinthians 15:3-4
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which
I also received, how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose
again the third day according to the scriptures:"

我們應當認罪悔改，接受主基督：
「所以你們當悔改歸正，使你們的罪得以塗抹，
這樣，那安舒的日子，就必從主面前來到。」
（使徒行傳三章19節）
「你若口裏認耶穌為主，心裏信 神叫祂從死裡復活，
就必得救。」
（羅馬書十章9節）
We should confess, repent and receive Christ as our Saviour
Acts 3:19
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out,
when the times of refreshing shall come from the
presence of the Lord;"
Romans 10:9
"That if thou shalt confess with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
