人生如戲
對酒當歌，人生幾何?比如朝露，去日苦多
參加了一場相當溫馨感人的追思音樂會，
依照遺願選擇喜歡的曲目，
由家族成員一一上台演奏和獻唱，表達思念之情。
儀節表除了放上故人略歷、生活照外，
還有一封封家書，給孩子的臨別贈言。
再三叮嚀，要重視健康、學業、才藝...
還有信仰要持守
最是深切的愛，卻是體現在生活的每個小小細節中
擁有甜美的容貌，優秀的學經歷和工作，
可愛的孩子，美滿的家庭
面對每個角色，
她全力以赴，事事要求完美。
但當命運的號角響起時，她是一個母親!!
人生終究是虛空一場。
但我卻看見了...
一個母親奮力與命運搏鬥的同時，
想要給孩子，最大最大的愛~

相當巧合
本周才跟M討論到哥林多前書4:9，
在追思音樂會中的致詞恰巧也引用到
不禁感觸良多。
[1Corinthian 4:9]
因為我們成了一臺戲，給世人和天使觀看。
For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
對這段經文的釋義，首先聯想到的是哥林多前書15:19
[1Corinthian 15:19]
我們若靠基督，只在今生有指望，就算比眾人更可憐。
If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.
查閱資料，發現了希伯來書的記載比較淺白
[Hebrews 10:33]
一面被毀謗，遭患難，成了戲景，叫眾人觀看
partly by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations,
人生恰如一場戲，無論多麼絢爛光亮的場景
終究有曲終人散之時。
此外，面對乍看之下不佳的處境，
眾人抱持看戲的心態，或許在背後訕笑
人生終究是自己的
想清楚了，確切知道努力的目標，全力以赴即可。
其他的蜚短流長，就不必在乎了...

比起熱鬧的婚禮，
喪禮的冷調，更使人的思維澄澈清明，
透過反思自省，獲得智慧，
希望可以把握當下，做正確的決定
化為生活的能量，為人生全力以赴
[Ecclesiastes 7:2]
往遭喪的家去，強如往宴樂的家去；因為死是眾人的結局，活人也必將這事放在心上。
It is better to go to a house of mourning Than to go to a house of feasting, Because that is the end of every man, And the living takes it to heart.
[Ecclesiastes 7:4]
智慧人的心在遭喪之家；愚昧人的心在快樂之家。
The mind of the wise is in the house of mourning, While the mind of fools is in the house of pleasure.

[book]God Thinks You're Wonderful
買了一本小書"上帝喜歡你!"
內容相當溫馨可愛
英文的版本更是相當生動有趣
特此分享
A book called God thinks you’re wonderful by Max Lucado
God thinks you’re wonderful.
God is fond of you
if He had a wallet your photo would be in it
if He had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it
He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning
whenever you want to talk He’ll listen
He can live anywhere in the universe and He chose your heart
face it friend, He’s crazy about you
by the way, it may be difficult for you to believe that God knows your name….
but He does
written on His hand
spoken by His mouth
whispered by His lips
your name.
our Hearts are not large enough to contain the blessing that God wants to give
so try this. the next time a sunrise steals your breath,
or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless..
remain that way
say nothing as heaven whispers “do you like it? I did it just for you.”
if we give gifts to show our love, how much more would He?
He could have left the world gray and flat but He didn’t
He splashed orange in the sunrise
and cast blue in the sky
and if you love to see geese as they gather,
chances are you’ll see that too.
did He have to make squirrel’s tails fluffy?
was He obliged to make birds sing?
and the funny way that chickens scurry….
or the majesty of thunder when it rings?
why give a flower a fragrance?
why give food it’s taste?
could it be He loves to see that look on your face?
so promise me you’ll never forget that you aren’t an accident or an incident
you are a gift to the world
a divine work of art created and signed by God,
you were deliberately planned, specifically gifted,
and lovingly positioned on this earth…
by the master craftsman
He thinks you are the best thing to come down the pike in a while
turn to the side lines, that’s God cheering your run
look past the finish line, that’s God applauding your steps.
God is you
your birthday is circled on his calendar
if He drove a car your name would be on his bumper
if there’s a tree in Heaven He’s carved your name into the bark
Maybe you don’t want to trouble God with your hurts, but He cares about you
He is waiting for you, to embrace you whether you succeed or fail
un tethered by time, God see’s us all
vagabonds and ragamuffins (my dad always calls me that)
He saw is before we were born. and He loved what He saw
even flooded by emotion over come by pride,
the star maker turns to us one by one sand says
“you are my child, I love you dearly
I’m aware that someday you will turn from me and walk away,
but I want you to know I’ve already provided a way back.”
you have captured the Heart of God
He cannot bear to live without you
God’s dream is to make you right with Him
“Can anything make me stop loving you?” God asks
“you wonder how long my love will last?
Watch me speak your language, sleep on your earth, and feel your hurts.
find your answer in what I have given you
and what I will give you
that’s how much I love you
God does more than forgive our mistakes;
He removes them! we simply have to take them to him.
you can talk to God because He listens.
let a tear appear on your cheek, and He is there to wipe it.
He has sent his angels to care for you,
his holy spirit to dwell in you and his word to guide you
as much as you want to see him, He wants to see you more
if you want to touch God’s Heart, use the name He loves to Hear.
“Father”
He’s done this all for you.

以小搏大
99年的山輔又展開了
照例又開始匆匆趕路的環島行程
這次職前在富世
-花蓮太魯閣入口附近的一個小村莊
雖然親上火線已是多年前的往事，
自己也只能有小小的貢獻，
但無論多少，只要對孩子有幫助的，
都願意盡力去做
--
總笑說自己近乎自虐的病症越發嚴重
無論多辛苦，只要有意義的事
都會去做，即使孩子不見得領情
或者會被討厭
但只要一句小小的感謝
看見一個孩子被體會了，學懂了
就感動到不能自己
繼續傻乎乎努力下去
馬校長不也是如此
其實就是一部寫實記錄片
一般人可能只是平淡地看完
可一旦思及這些孩子的處境
看見片裡其中一個孩子的狀況
都是山輔孩子生活的縮影
校長想要盡自己的力去幫助孩子
無論如何艱難
力量如何微小
就是努力去做
總讓我想到山輔工作
這麼多年累積的成果
也許有些許起色
但時勢卻又更壞了
面對現實的衝擊來襲
就要這麼放手了嗎？
反而更深覺是非做不可的使命
