Goodyear 101218

Meet Tuo

Jo and May were making dumplings this morning, they didn't want me around. So, I went out to make my round, enjoy morning fresh air and talk to God.
A man on the other side of sidewalk called out to me. We both moved to the center of safety island. We shaked hands and said hallo.
Ha! A vietnamese and a Taiwanese met in Goodyear Arizona by chance. He came from Wisconsin to visit his niece, I came from New York to visit my daughter.
We chatted for about 10 minutes and then continued our morning exercise in opposite direction. I thank God for this chance to meet Tuo (He said, "one two, Tuo").

Obituary

Obituary-Jesus Christ

Yes, I know. It's Christmas season, we are celebrating birth of Jesus. But, without Christ's death on cross, it's just an ordinary birthday party. Let's remember God's love and salvation: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."(John 3:16)
Let's celebrate Christ birthday as Merry Christmas, not just a happy holiday.

Goodyear 101217

December 2010 Trip - first stop Goodyear Arizona.

We left New York City yesterday morning with snow on the ground temperature about 25F and headed for the dessert warm Phoenix, Arizona. Our plane captain announced that we would arrive at Phoenix a few minutes earlier than scheduled. He also said Phoenix was raining about 55F. I heard someone said it's the first rain in 4 months in Phoenix area. Mmh, we brought the rain?!
We enjoyed our morning walk amist thick fog this morning in Goodyear, AZ. Then, we went out shopping. The sun tried to peek through thick cloudy sky.

An Old Note 一張舊箋

A 49-Year-old Note

After a long telephone conversation with my friend in Taiwan, I kept thinking about my old university classmates. Therefore, I tried to look for something that would refresh my mind.
I found this note in my old diary. It was attached to a Christmas gift on December 24, 1961. I saved it because the writer of this note wrote a reminder to me. It is very similar to the English verse "Casting all your cares unto the Lord for He cares for you."
Yes. Our Lord cares for you and me all these years and will continue to care for us.

一張陳年短箋

昨天晚上再次接到老朋友自臺灣打來的越洋電話, 我們聊了將近一個鐘頭。他告訴我他剛作了一個重要決定要讓我知道, 謝謝您把我當知心朋友; 而且夫妻兩老再過幾天就要出門遠遊看海去, 並預祝我「聖誕快樂」。
這通電話再次激起我回憶那些認識40多年前的大學同學們。昨夜夢境中看到在淡水淡江團契活動往事的幻影。今早一醒來就去翻箱倒篋, 幸好還保留著這一本日記簿。
看到這張短箋。沒寫收函者, 一定是給我的, 不然我怎會收存在我的日記簿裡; 沒註明日期, 從此箋和我日記記事前後可確定是1961年12月24日聖誕節前夕; 寫箋者是我故意掩蓋的。
我已經想不起來49年前的這麼一件禮物了。不過您送我的這句話直到今天仍然很受用: 「在主愛裡, 你永遠沒有傍徨、觀望、猶豫、惆悵、悵惘的。」今天我將它複製出來, 讓我們一起來回味這些年上帝的愛, 祂也必定陪同我們走前面的路。朋友, 保重。
祝您倆 旅途愉快 聖誕快樂

Chen Shu-Ju 陳樹菊

Chen Shu-Ju, a vegetable seller, in Taitung, Taiwan, has been honored by Time Magazine for her generosity to education and charity. She was named as one of the world’s 100 most influential people in 2010.
She lives on NT$100 each day while she found the time and resources to donate NT$10 million (US$437,000) over the years to a school and orphanage for the past 17 years!

陳樹菊是台灣台東中央市場女菜販。美國《時代》雜誌將其選入2010年最具影響力時代百大人物之「英雄」項目第八位。她也是早先《富比世》雜誌所選出的2010年48位亞洲慈善英雄人物之一。
她多年來共捐出了近1000萬新台幣來作為慈善用途，幫助兒童和孤兒，以及建立圖書館等。

Her generousty reminds me the story of a widow's offering. Jesus said, "...that poor widow has given more than all those ... , while she gave up her last penny." (The Bible Mark 12: 41-44)

她的慷慨解囊就是聖經一個寡婦奉獻的翻版。耶穌說:「... 這個窮寡婦所投進奉獻箱的 ... , 她已經很窮了, 郤把自己全部的生活費用都獻上了。」(聖經 馬可福音12章41-44節)
