1. 下次如果觉得自己了不起时，试试行在水上。
2. 当魔鬼提起你的过去时，请提醒牠的未来。
3. 你不是幸运，是蒙福。
4. 若想要真正活着，得先彻底死去。
5. 机会也许只敲一次门，但试探却总是在按门铃。
6. 我们常在强壮时，忘了神。
7. 那些只在星期天呼唤“天父“的人，在一星期余下的日子里活得像孤儿。
8. 不要以自我为中心，要以基督为中心。
9. 没有基督，没有平安；认识基督，得到平安。（No Christ, no peace; know Christ, know peace）
10. 为什么我们不常向朋友提起神？因为我们不常向神提起我们的朋友。
11. 当把你的一切献给基督，因为祂把祂的一切都给了你。
12. 你现在所追求的，值得基督为它死吗？（好问题…）
13. 使你向神靠近的人，是你真正的朋友。
14. 神爱我们，不是因为我们是怎样一个人，而是因为祂是怎样一位神。
15. 神的应许像夜空里的星星。夜越深，星星的光芒越亮。
16. 没有基督的生命，是无望的尽头。有基督的生命，是无尽的盼望。
17. 我虽不知道未来掌管着什么，但我知道谁掌管着未来。
18. 把你的重担交给主，让它留在主那里。
19. 不要畏惧明天，因为上帝已在那里。
20. 当你除了神，一无所有时，你将知道神就是你全部的需要。
21. 放手交给上帝，别再向神讲述你的风暴有多大，当向风暴讲述你的神有多大。
22. 能够满足人心的，是造人心的那一位。
23. 请常常保持着你心里的光，因为你不知道，谁会借着这光走出黑暗。
24. 当我们只顾工作的时候，我们独自工作；当我们祈祷的时候，神工作。
25. 神无所不在，所以我们可以随处祷告。
26. 一个没有需要的人永远见不到神迹。
27. 敬拜提醒我们生命的价值，但世界却使我们忘记它。
28. 步履艰难的时候，别一味的祷告，却不迈向神要你走的路。
29. 祷告会为我们作很多事，忧虑同样可以。
希望我们每一个人都可以警醒自己，让自己依靠神。我们靠着的是神的力量去行而不是靠自己的力量去做。

BUSY
開場白
撒但說：
「我們無法使基督徒不去教會。我們也沒辦法讓他們不讀經、不明白真理。我們甚至不能讓他們遠離他們的救主。若是他們與基督耶穌產生緊密聯結我們的權勢就敗落了！所以別讓他們去教會！讓他們去吧！我們所要做的就是竊取他們的時間，讓他們沒有時間來與他們的主親近聯結…這就是我要你們做的！」
又說：「叫這些人無法和他們的救主有天天緊密的聯結。」惡魔邪靈大喊：「我們該怎麼做？」
撒但回答說：
「讓他們忙碌啊！讓他們為了生活上的小事忙碌，製造無盡的虛華來佔滿他們的腦袋！引誘他們去花錢！盡情地花錢吧！讓他們因花錢而不停地賺錢、借錢吧！讓妻子外出長時間工作，
讓丈夫一週工作七天，每天十到十二個小時，這樣才有足夠的錢滿足他們虛華的方活方式。
讓父母們沒有時間陪伴孩子，漸漸地使家人們疏遠，好讓他們的家再也無法紓解工作帶來的壓力！
讓他們的腦子裡裝滿世界的事，叫他們再也聽不見那微小的聲音，讓他們隨到之處都響著靡靡之音，他們的家隨時都開著電視、放著VCD，他們的電腦日夜開著，叫所有商站、餐館時時播放世界音樂！
這樣就足以讓他們的腦袋無法與基督聯結。
讓他們的桌上擺滿各樣雜誌與報紙，用24小時新聞來佔滿他們的意念，當他們開車時，用各式各樣的看板來吸引他們的注意力。
讓他們的信箱塞滿各種垃圾郵件，各大超市百貨公司的減價單，各樣的抽獎單、免費產品、免費服務，各式各樣虛假的希望，
還要讓那些身材絞好、年輕貌美的女人不停地出現在雜誌與電視上，叫丈夫們相信外在美最重要，這樣他們就對自己妻子感到不滿意，讓他們的妻子忙碌到無法愛他們的丈夫，讓他們頭痛！
若是妻子們無法讓丈夫得到愛，那麼丈夫們就會到其他地方去找愛，這樣一來，家庭便變得非常脆弱。
讓聖誕老人迷惑他們，叫他們的孩子不懂得聖誕節的真正意義，給孩子們復活節的小兔子，讓他們不懂得復活大能可勝過罪與死。
讓他們在遊樂場所瘋狂遊戲，回來時筋疲力盡，讓他們忙著去兒童樂園，忙著去看球賽、戲劇、電影、音樂會，叫他們沒有時間去看神所創造的大自然。
讓學生們忙於課業成績, 疏於靈修祈禱,反而振振有詞的聲稱是為將來能服事人,是為光榮天主的名。讓他們忙碌、忙碌、忙碌！
而當他們去聚會時，讓他們搞小圈圈、講閒話，對別人批評論斷,自以為是正義公理而口不擇言,
永遠不反省地指責別人,卻看不到自己的問題,這樣一來，就有無窮盡的衝突發生，讓他們的生活中有無盡的理由，叫他們不從基督得力，很快地，他們就會只懂得靠自己。犧牲自己的家庭、健康，只為滿足自己所要的一切！」
惡魔們大喊：「這實在是個好辦法！」
「可行！太有用了！」
的確，這個計劃實在太棒了！於是，撒但們急忙在他們的崗位上開始行動，讓基督徒越來越忙，生活越來越趕，讓他們來回奔走，沒有時間敬拜神或陪伴自己的家人，也沒有時間傳福音救更多的人。
我想，我的疑問是：撒但的計劃成功了嗎？答案就看你自己！
難道，忙－正代表了「服在撒但的軛下」？

Some Lessons to learn
Take some time out and read these beautiful words carefully.
Later, reflect on what you have just read.
Surely you will understand a lot of things…
First Lesson
...after some months at the faculty of medicine, the professor gave us a test.
Being a good student, I quickly answered all the questions… all, but the last: “What is the baptism name of the maid of our institute?
I handed over my test paper, leaving the last question unanswered. Just before the lesson ended, another student inquired if the last question would be marked.
“Certainly!", the professor replied. “You will meet many people in your life. All of them will have some degree of importance.
They will deserve your attention, even if it is a simple smile or a simple hello".
I never forgot this lesson… and went on to learn that the baptism name of our maid was Marianna.
Second Lesson
On a rainy, tempestuous night a “coloured” woman was standing on the roadside. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed help. Wet to her core, she signalled to the passers by.
A white young man, as if unaware of the racial conflicts that tore apart America in the 60s, stopped to help her.
He conducted her to a safe place, called a mechanic and hailed a taxi for her. The woman seemed too much in a hurry, but did not forget to thank him and take down his address on a piece of paper.
Seven days had already passed when someone knocked at the door of the young man.
To his enormous surprise, it was a courier with a huge packet to deliver – a big colour TV along with a note:
“Many thanks for helping me on the road that night.
The rain had completely drenched me and my soul when you appeared.
Thanks to you I was able to reach my dying husband just in time.
God bless you for having helped me.
Sincerely,
Mrs. King Cole"
Third Lesson
Sometime ago, when the ice-creams were not so expensive, a ten-year old boy went to an ice-cream parlour. While sitting at the table, he asked the waitress, “How much does a Sundae cost?” “50 cents,” she replied.
The boy took out his money from the pocket and began counting it.
“Well, how much does a simple ice-cream cost?".
There were other people waiting to be served, so the waitress began to get a little impatient.
"35 cents!" she replied abruptly. The boy counted his money again and said: “Please get me a simple ice-cream!"
The waitress served him the ice-cream and his bill. The boy ate his ice-cream, paid his bill at the cash counter and left.
When the waitress went to clean the table she began to cry… for there, in the corner of the plate, were 15 cents… her tip.
The boy took a simple ice-cream instead of a Sundae so he could leave a tip for her.
Most of the time we don't realize the little thing we do means a lot to others people. Appreciate to people who come or pass through our life.

牽母親的手過馬路(年度票選最佳短文)
星期六偕妻兒回家，年近花甲的母親喜不自禁，一定要上街買點好菜招待我們，怎麼勸也不行。
母親說：「你們別攔我了，你們回來，媽煮頓大餐請你們，不是受累，是歡喜呀！」
我便說：「我陪您去吧！」母親樂呵呵地說：「好！好！你去，你說買啥，媽就買啥。」
母親年齡大了，雙腿顯得很不靈便，走路怎麼也快不起來。她提著菜籃，挨著我邊
走邊談些家務事。
「樹老根多，人老話多。」母親也都這把年紀了，自然愛絮絮叨叨，別人不願聽，
兒女們不能不聽，那怕裝也要裝出忠實聽眾的樣子才行。
穿過馬路就是菜市場了。母親突然停下來，把菜籃挎在臂彎裡，騰出右手，向我伸來……
一剎那間，我的心震顫起來。這是多麼熟悉的動作呀！上小學時，我每天都要穿過一
條馬路才能到學校。
母親擔心我的安危，總是要送我過馬路才折身趕去上班。
橫穿馬路時，她總是向我伸出右手，把我的小手握在她掌心，牽著走到過馬路，
然後低下身子，一遍遍地叮囑：「有車就別過馬路」。「過馬路要和別人一起過。」
二十多年過去了，昔日的小手已長成一雙男子漢的大手，而昔日年輕母親的細嫩軟手，
已成為一雙枯乾節深的粗手，但她牽手的動作依然如此嫻熟。她一生吃了許多的苦，受
了許多罪，
這些都被她像掠頭髮一樣一一掠開，但卻對兒女關愛的情腸永遠也掠不去。
我沒有把手遞過去，而是伸出一隻手從母親臂彎裡取下籃子，提在手上，另一手則
伸出來輕輕握住她的手，
對她說：「小時候，每逢過馬路都是你牽我，今天過馬路，
讓我牽你吧！」母親的眼裡閃過驚喜，笑容蕩漾開。
「媽！你腿腳不靈便，車多人擠，過馬路千萬要左右看清楚，別跟車子搶時間。家
裡有什麼難事，不管多忙，我們都會回來的。我是您一泡尿一泡屎，養起來的兒
子呀，你還客氣什麼？」
母親便背過頭揩淚。牽著母親的手過馬路，心裡有幾許感激，幾許心疼，幾許愛意
，還有幾許感嘆。
我們能夠愛幼，但我們卻時常忘了像愛幼一樣尊老。
為人兒女者，當你緊緊握住自己兒女的小手時，可也別忘了，父母的老手更盼望
著我們去牽啊！
5th commandment: "honour your parents"
let's be grateful for the family that God has given us ;)

Things are not always what they seem
Keep reading to the bottom of the page - don't stop at the feet (You'll see).
一定要阅读到最后，不要停下来，你将会看到
THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM
有些事并不象它看上去那样
Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guestroom. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, 'Things aren't always what they seem.'
两个旅行中的天使到一个富有的家庭借宿。这家人对他们并不友好，并且拒绝让他们在舒适的客人卧室过夜，而是在冰冷的地下室给他们找了一个角落。当他们铺床时，较老的天使发现墙上有一个洞，就顺手把它修补好了。年轻的天使问为什么，老天使答到：'有些事并不象它看上去那样。'
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field? The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen? The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.
第二晚，两人又到了一个非常贫穷的农家借宿。主人夫妇俩对他们非常热情，把仅有的一点点食物拿出来款待客人，然后又让出自己的床铺给两个天使。第二天一早，两个天使发现农夫和他的妻子在哭泣--他们唯一的生活来源，一头奶牛死了。年轻的天使非常愤怒，他质问老天使为什么会这样，第一个家庭什么都有，老天使还帮助他们修补墙洞，第二个家庭尽管如此贫穷还是热情款待客人，而老天使却没有阻止奶牛的死亡。
'Things aren't always what they seem,' the older angel replied. 'When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it.'
'有些事并不象它看上去那样。'老天使答道，'当我们在地下室过夜时，我从墙洞看到墙里面堆满了金块。因为主人被贪欲所迷惑，不愿意分享他的财富，所以我把墙洞填上了。
'Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem.'
'昨天晚上，死亡之神来召唤农夫的妻子，我让奶牛代替了她。所以有些事并不象它看上去那样。'
Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You might not know it until some time later....
有些时候事情的表面并不是它实际应该的样子。如果你有信念，你只需要坚信付出总会得到回报。你可能不会发现，直到后来…….
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
Some people come into our lives and quickly go…
有些人走进我们的生活然后很快就离开了…
Some people
become friends and
stay awhile....
leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts....
有些人成为朋友并稍作停留…
在我们的心里留下美丽的足印。
and we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend!!
因为有了一个好朋友，我们会变得跟从前不一样！！
Yesterday is history.
昨天是历史。
Tomorrow a mystery.
明天是一个谜。
Today is a gift.
今天是一个礼物。
That's why it's called the present!
因此它才被称为present! (present同时具有当前、目前和礼物的意思)
