Bible time

Every night we read a devotional bible (Blessings Every Day)to Eunice and Isaac and they love it so much. Yesterday was my turn to read and one of the phrase has caught my eye.

" If I want the joy that will last in my heart, a friendship with God is the best place to start "

Sick...

Poor Eunice and Isaac are very sick since last week. They had fever for several days. Now they are sneezing and coughing. Flora and I have several sleepless night already. Hope that they will be better soon...Especailly for little Isaac, he has lost his voice for two days already.

Give thanks

It is too scary to think about it again... But God's grace is always sufficient for my family. Last night I gave one children vitamins tablet to Isaac. He loves it so much and likes to keep it in his mouth and sucks on the sweetness. Suddenly he laughed at me when I tried to put his socks on. Then the worst scenario happened, tablet ran down to his throat and he was choked by it. He was screaming and tried to get it out. I hold him and started to use my first aid knowledge to help him. I was so scared too. I kept on putting some pressure onto his stomach. After ten to fifteen seconds, I saw a tablet came out from his mouth and laid on the floor.

Life is full of Grace and Mercy from our Heavenly Father. Thank you Jesus. You really care for my family.

Police Incident

Around 8:30 tonight, there were 5 police cars and 10 policemen in front of our house. It was a bit scary when we noticed that. In the middle of all the policemen, we saw a guy and his hands were handcuffed at his back. A bag and a computer were on the ground. From my observation, the guy must broke into my neighbour house and stole several items from them. However, he was noticed and police was called. After the chasing, finally he was caught in front of my house.

Psalm 23

I was asked to read Psalm 23 in a memorial service today. My heavenly father used this scripture to remind me lots of things. Especially how much he cares for us... Do not take anything for granted and treasure whatever He has given to us today


1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

So Tired

So much works, so many deadlines, but so little times... Totally exhausted ah!!!. Just wonder when is the next holidays???

Do you truly love me...?

When I was reading my bible tonight, I heard a gentle voice who asked me, "Do you truly love me?" I think of this question for a while...while and while....

My dear friends, if you hear the same voice tonight, what is your answer?

P.S. After hearing this question, the following bible verses also flashed into my mind.

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?"
"Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."

Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?"
He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."

The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?"

He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my sheep."

Earthquake

A "strong" underwater earthquake occurred off the coast of B.C. early Saturday morning, registering a magnitude of 6.7. Fortunately, no tsunami nor any damage to all of us.

As we are living in British Columbia, seismic experts always say we can expect a major destructive earthquake in here one day. It is because there is an active Cascadia fault line exits in our region.

I am not sure whether my family are well-prepared for this big earthquake or not. But this news has just reminded me a bible verse from Book of Matthew Chapter 24.

"3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,[a]' and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains."

醫院

每次走進醫院的大堂都有著不同的感受，所以今天下午也不例外。當升降機緩緩的升到十六樓病房之時，一串串的回憶被勾起來。這皆因面前的sign寫著Palliative care unit。整個ward都是充滿了絕望及哀痛的臉孔。那種氣氛真的令我透不過氣來，好想離開。 走進病房之後，看到友人之丈夫在床上的樣子，不禁在心裏下起淚來。癌症為人帶來的痛楚及折磨，真是平常人全不能理解的。

看到這情景令自己回想起蘇恩佩所寫的一本書「死亡!別狂傲」。死亡的確可以使到我們害怕，畏懼。但是從天父而來的恩典及盼望，卻能使我們對死亡有一個別的看法。因為我們知道衪在別的一方等候著我們。

後記：我始終都是喜愛到醫院BB出世的地方探訪，縱然是充滿了(BB)哭聲，但是氣氛卻是來得自然和愉快。唔該下次你哋邊個生咗小生命之時，記住通知聲。

靈修...的心願

靈修，對我來說理應是一個並不陌生的詞彙。因為從信主的那一天開始，便知道它是屬靈生命成長中一個不可缺少的完素。

但是回顧現今的靈修生活，為何往往是大起大落，又為何會變得空洞乏味可有可無。而心中慢慢的對它產生了一種「雞肋之感」- 食之無味，棄之可惜。似乎靈修不再是我們生命上最high priority 的事，取而代之卻是一大堆「別的東西」。

天父啊！讓我能在新一年裏走出這個屬靈的冬天，願袮的恩典再來温暖那已冷卻了的心。好讓我的心切慕祢，如鹿切慕溪水。又願祢的慈愛繩索繼續牽引著我，直到再次與祢見面之時。阿們
