"I am in God's hands."
This morning's devotional excerpts from "The Upper Room" .
"The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:7 (NIV)-
Thought for Today: Be prepared to experience God's peace.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we desire your peace and your love in our hearts. May we be open before you as you fill us with your love. In Jesus name Amen.

「我在上帝的手掌心中。」
今晨靈修摘要自『閣樓小室』。
「上帝所𧶽那超越人所能理解的平安, 會藉着基督耶穌來保守你們的心懷意念。」-腓立比4:7 (現代中文譯本)-
今日靜思: 「作好心理準備體會上帝所𧶽的平安。」
祈禱: 天父上帝, 我們渴望祢的平安以及祢的愛進住我們的心。但願我們能暢開心門來接受祢那滿溢的愛。奉主耶穌的聖名 阿們。

A Conversation With My Neighbor 與厝邊話仙

My curious neighbor came over to talk to me while I was taking pictures in our front yard.
"Hi, Tea! What are you doing?"
"How are you? Andy! I am taking pictures for my blog."
"You have a blog?"
"Yes, I have a web blog - Sirtea Garden on the internet. You are invited to visit my blog. There are some interesting articles and pictures in it." (Ha! This is a good opportunity to promote my blog!)
"Sure. I will visit your blog. Bye!"
"Please pray for bloggers' prayer requests too. Bye!"

我的鄰居看到我在前院拍照, 好奇地走過來看看。
「喂, Tea! 你在拍什麼?」
「Andy, 你好! 我在拍照片放在我的部落格。」
「你有部落格?」
「是的, 我在網上有一個部落格- 茶翁家園。歡迎你上網看看。有一些不錯的文章和照片可看呢。」(哈! 把握機會廣告廣告。)
「好啊! 會上網去看。再見!」
「請你也爲那些請代禱的事項禱告噢。 再見!」

Meditation and Prayer 省身及禱告

Walking with camera in my hands, I thank God for His wonderful creation, His loving care and His providence. I prayed that God bless Taiwan, comfort and heal those 090808 water disaster Taiwanese; for Ms. Pan's fully recovery; for blessing to Sister Hung's work and study that she would have time to participate in church activities; for myself, my family, my friends, and ....
Pray that His will be done. Praise be to God!

手拿着照相機, 邊走邊禱告: 感謝上帝創造這麼美麗的大自然, 祂不變且不休止的愛以及𧶽予我們所需。祈求上帝保佑臺灣, 安慰療傷那些88 水災的臺灣災民; 求上帝醫治潘師母身體康復; 求上帝祝福洪姊妹的工作及學業, 讓她能抽出時間參加教會的聚會; 爲我自己, 我的家人, 朋友們,... 求上帝眷顧。 並願祂的旨意得成。感謝上帝。讚美上帝!

Walking Exercise 散步運動

Kent & Grace emailed me: "... I suggest you can try walking at least 1 hour everyday. Kent plays golf about 1 hour in the early morning 4 days a week...."

Good advice! With camera in my hands, I walked and took pictures. Here are some of the pictures I took and edited this morning. (*Shhhh!!! I already did walking everyday except rainy days.)

Kent 和 Grace 寄來的伊美兒(email)說: 「... 我建議你每天最少散步走1小時。Kent 一週4天一大早就去打1 小時的高爾夫球。...」

好建議! 我手拿着照相機, 一邊走一邊拍照。這是我今天早上所拍攝組合的一部份照片。(*噓!!! 其實我每天都已在走路運動了。)
