A Quote from Margaret Thatcher / 撒切爾夫人語錄

 

A Quote from Margaret Thatcher

撒切爾夫人語錄

“Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.”

—— Margaret Thatcher

 

“心知為正義之要務,縱使艱難,仍自加策勵以行;循此正道,始可得自豪、自尊,始能愜然於心。”

—— 瑪格麗特·撒切爾


(Tr. Allen Zhuang)

Sacred Gathering / 神聖聚會

 

Sacred Gathering

[Our Daily Bread 3rd June 2020]

神聖聚會

[靈命日糧2020-06-03]

Our group of friends reunited for a long weekend together on the shores of a beautiful lake. The days were spent playing in the water and sharing meals, but it was the evening conversations I treasured the most.

As darkness fell, our hearts opened to one another with uncommon depth and vulnerability, sharing the pains of faltering marriages and the aftermath of trauma some of our children were enduring. Without glossing over the brokenness of our realities, we pointed one another to God and His faithfulness throughout such extreme difficulties. Those evenings are among the most sacred in my life.

(Message by Kirsten Holmberg)

我們一群朋友別後重聚,在某處美麗的湖畔共度了一個長週末;一連數日嬉水玩耍、合膳聚餐,但我最珍惜的是那幾次的夜話傾談。

黑夜降臨,我們彼此敞開心扉,訴說起跌跌撞撞婚姻中的諸般苦處,以及有人兒女正遭受的創傷後遺之痛,全都格外深入且不避指責。我們不掩飾自己現實生活的破裂缺失,卻彼此指點應仰望上帝和祂的信實可靠,好渡過那些極大難關。我今生最神聖的夜晚之中,就有那幾晚

Morning Mist / 晨霧

 

Morning Mist

[Our Daily Bread 11 Dec 2020 ]

晨霧

[靈命日糧 2020-12-11 ]

One morning I visited a pond near my house. I sat on an overturned boat, thinking and watching a gentle west wind chase a layer of mist across the water’s surface. Wisps of fog circled and swirled. Mini “tornadoes” rose up and then exhausted themselves. Before long, the sunlight cut through the clouds and the mist disappeared.

某日清晨,我來到住家近旁的一處池塘邊,坐在一艘朝天翻轉的小船身上,一邊想心事,一邊看西風徐來推送著一層霧氣拂過水面。一縷縷霧絲迴轉盤旋,幾陣微型「龍捲風」隨之升起,然後力竭而息。不久,陽光劈透層雲,那霧氣便消失了。
