滿足


今天下午孝恩飲完奶之後,突然在床上嘔起來(可能午餐吃得太飽)。而他心愛的fleece被被,就因此被弄污了。眼红红的他,只好失望地抱著媽媽去睡。

我就趁此時,立刻拿這張滿了奶漬的被去清洗。好讓在晚上睡覺前能交回给他。但等了一個下午它還未乾透。所以只好在出外晚膳前,拿這張被掛在樓梯底的暖爐房裏,盼望這樣能加快乾的速度。而孝恩就在我身旁全程的監エ。

當晚上睡覺喝奶時,我將心愛的fleece被被交回给他時...他不禁地微笑起來。一邊喝奶,一邊抱著張被,一邊不斷的對太太說:「爸爸...被被...爸爸...被被...」。看到這情景,便叫我想到這功課,小孩子的心是多麼單纯,小小的東西已經可以為他們帶來很大的滿足。反倒之我們這群"大人",應是時候向他們學習學習了。
「耶穌便叫一個小孩子來,使他站在他們當中,說:「我實在告訴你們,你們若不回轉,變成小孩的樣式,斷不得進天國。所以凡自己謙卑像小孩的,他在天國裏就是最大的。」

Children are a gift from God. Through our children we learn how our Father parent and guide us. Every day, God teaches me through my girls. If I have no patience for them, how can I expect God to be patient with me and my demands? I am also a whinny child just like my kids! If I give my kids something they want (which makes me happy), how can our Father not give us anything we ask for?
