Recently read this from MetamorphaBlog, titled “Living Beyond the Ribbon of Time”. So true…
Indeed – I had been living in chronos all these times, especially the last few years.
There are moments where we do have to focus on productivity and efficiency. And there are times when we have to hurry. But life is lived best from kairos, not chronos. If we’re not careful chronos can enslave us to a barren busyness that drains us of the passion and wonder of life. Moreover, it deafens our ears to the voice of God who calls to us in kairos moments where heaven and earth intersect.
Life is lived best when we slow down enough to pay attention and enjoy the ordinary kairos moments: things like laughter with friends, a good meal, throwing the best of ourselves into our jobs with passion, catching a great wave on a surfboard, receiving the bread and wine at the communion table, and unhurried time with our spouse.
Life is lived best when we make it an art. Life is lived best when we ignore the busyness, the push and pull of life, and we stop to enjoy the present. Life is at its best when we live beyond the ribbon of time and the tick, tick, tick of the clock.

昨天見到師母 心裡面有很安慰的感覺
師母正在接受癌症化療過程
頭上披帶著 一塊粉藍色的頭巾
她見著我 對我說
Can I give you a hug?
最親切的關懷 就是從一個簡單的擁抱中
完完全全的流露出來
猶勝千言萬語
你還記得上一次
擁抱的感覺麼

朋友經歷婚姻問題 心痛難以形容
一時看不開 嘗試輕生 幸而被救回 身心靈在康復中
實不知如何去安慰她
唯有為她祈禱勉勵
希望她這一刻 仍舊找緊著神
祂的恩典 超越苦難
在我們患難中 祂的恩典會是更加豐足
John 16:33
我 將 這 些 事 告 訴 你 們 , 是 要 叫 你 們 在 我 裡 面 有 平 安 .
在 世 上 , 你 們 有 苦 難 ; 但 你 們 可 以 放 心 , 我 已 經 勝 了 世 界 .

Just finished reading “My Heart – Christ’s Home”. A little gift booklet a friend gave to me recently. Loved it. The author describes how we can let Jesus enter into our heart – similar to inviting a guest into our home, one room at a time. I was really touched by the following passage; as I’m learning about having quiet time and experiencing Him in solitude.
As He speaks to us…
The trouble is that you have been thinking of the quiet time, of Bible study and prayer, as a means for your own spiritual growth. That is true, but you have forgotten that this time means something to me also. Remember, I love you. At the great cost I have redeemed you. I value your fellowship. Just to have you look up into my face warms my heart. Don’t neglect this hour, if only for my sake. Whether or not you want to be with me, remember I want to be with you.
It’s not about us…it’s more about Him.

朋友對我說
傷痛後 心靈上的缺口 空洞的感覺
有時候 神未必為會我們填滿
當時聽了 有一點迷惘
祂 不是有能力平復所有傷痕的麼
後來再細心感受
發覺 祂把那破碎了 穿過很深的洞
一顆心 用祂的慈愛 祂的手
包圍起來 保護著
仍會有那一種空洞感覺
覺得心碎 心酸
不過不再害怕了
多了那一份 從祂而來的安全感
Philippians 4:7
神 所 賜 , 出 人 意 外 的 平 安 必 在 基 督 耶 穌 裡 保 守 你 們 的 心 懷 意 念 .

Life is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you gonna get.
Life is like a box of jigsaw puzzle too. Sometimes you feel puzzled.
We might not know why a particular piece is shaped in a certain way. We might think all the pieces are out of order. We might even think there is an extra piece here or there, which you couldn’t fit it in anywhere. We tried hard making sense of all the broken pieces; often times feeling frustrated putting them all together.
Just believe, and have trust in Him. At the end, all the pieces will fit together. Perfectly. And it will be beautiful.
You will be awed with the beauty, when all the pieces fit together. There will not be one extra piece. Because it is perfectly created. It is perfectly designed.
I believe that everything happens for a reason.

每個清晨 當我見到陽光從窗外射進入房間裡
就感受到 祂的眷顧
祂帶給我們的那一份溫暖 抱著我們
這幾天一連幾天都是晴朗天
忽然有一天想到 若過不再是晴天了
我還會感受到
祂在我的身邊嗎
今天早上
坐進車裡面 發覺玻璃上 多了幾點雨水
原來 今天不再是晴天
不過 我明白了
祂仍是在眷顧著我們
祂為著我們的憂愁哭了
