Lunch with Angelina's BT - visiting SunFlower Seeds

今天的講道中，Scott 提醒了我們 : "你準備了嗎？"

人生之中有很多事情都需要準備，它們的先後次序應該是怎樣呢？

今天我參加了Anglina BT 的中午飯局，目的是希望接觸到SunFlower Seeds。他們是Pearl, Jaide 及Tong Tong，年齡平均是七歲至九歲之間。由於他們三個已經是好朋友，一坐下來便開始玩他們的遊戲 - 天下太平。在遊戲當中，我發現他們正如一般同年齡的小朋友一樣，有說有笑、充滿身體語言地投入遊戲當中。Jadie表現得最能夠幫助別人、Tong Tong則未能集中精神、而Pearl正如他的年齡是一個大姐姐的式樣。

Tong Tong 拿了一瓶帶有銀金粉的指甲油出來，為自己填補指甲。我對他這個行為覺得非常好奇便問著說: "你懂得塗指甲油真是了不起，這麼漂亮的指甲油是誰送給你的呢？"

"這是媽媽買給我的。十元有三瓶，我們只買了一瓶，所以要四元。" 我便接著請求Tong Tong可否幫我塗上一層。他非常樂意，更馬上開始細心地幫我塗上那銀光閃艷的指甲油。效果非常不錯。更令我聯想起當我小時候幫媽媽塗甲油的日子。當年，塗指甲油這玩意，不但是我和媽媽最好的親子活動，直至今日我媽媽亦時常誇獎我對他當時的愛意，亦能令他的指甲保持美麗直至今天。這是何等一件美麗的事情啊！

我相信作為母親的我們，只要懂得欣賞兒女的美意，他們都是神眼中的好兒女。

Daily Free Gift from God

While we are studying JOBS as the weekly conference call QT, we discovered that God is giving us daily free gift. Did we recognize? Or are we simply chasing for the artificial gift.....

• fresh air in the early morning for replenishing our body-mind-soul’s basic and essential – go to the natural area and breath in with a grateful and humble heart for 15 min. ~by bonnie
• God’s love to us in every moment – be still in soul to feel the love and respond to the love with committed love to Him. ~by bonnie
• sunshine - rolled up curtain near window and let sunshine coming in my office. Thank God we have sunshine today. I then saw beautiful greenery in HK Park with a small waterfall. I'm charged with energy from my precious sisters and more importantly directly from God and His nature. ~by vivien
• what have you discovered?

I, then look in to Genesis to find out more of the gifts God has prepared for us daily:

1. light
2. day and night
3. land and water
4. plants and trees
5. animals, fishes and birds
6. men
7. resting

Are you enjoying the gifts from God? count your blessing......

Lunch with BTLs Eliza, Idy and Glory

There were unexpected laughters in our lunch gathering.

We met at the Wan Chai Super Sandwich. It was quite crowded but we managed to get a nice 4-people table as Eliza and Idy arrived on time to take the table.

As Idy has just given birth to her second son, we talked about why there are 10 weeks maternity leave for such a long time without review. As I result, I will write a letter to Donald Tsang to remind the government to review some rules and regulations as the social structure has changed a lot over the past 20 years. We want to have a proactive government than a responsive leadership.

Isn't it interesting that 4 women's little talk might turn around an old rules...........

Commercials in memory

Hi there,

It is interesting to see Steve in Commercial. I recall michelle, my daughter has also taken some commercials when she was small around 8 years old:

1. Doll Noodle TV commercial with a group of children
2. McDonald TV commercial as the main child actress with both English and Cantonese dialogue during Chinese New Year
3. Standard Chartered Bank Poster Photo for releasing in Shanghai

Though more commercials are being asked, I stopped to let my daughter do so for two reasons:

1. she has to take one day school leave for the shooting.
2. the commercial firm deomostrated a very strong material attraction attitude in order to guide a girl to act. This may bring my daughter a wrong value and illusion.

Nevertheless, it brought michelle a nice and fun memory that she acted in commercials. What I only regret that I did not well keep the record of her commercials as at those years are using VHS recording tapes.

四十七集：「去住先」精神

主任牧師 Steve的口頭禪，是：「去住先！」。這不單只是一句口號，Steve還身體力行，把這句話的精神應用到生活不同領域上。今集Video Blog，就是一個很好的例子，提醒我們如何在生命中勇於嘗試。(片長：1’50”)
