Christmas Day

waking or sleeping
god with us, now and always--
a christmas blessing



醒了或是睡著，神與我們同在，當下和無時無刻，這是一個聖誕祝福

    You are in our hearts and prayers.

    雖然生老病都天然定律，但這過半月以來期盼斗叔快快醒來，康復後繼續為外祖父、父親、老師…。

    在過去的工作裡，察看有些年邁而又有重病的長者，神行了神蹟奇妙大能；所敬畏的神：「只要祢肯，在神裡是沒有難成的事。」

    我們一班埾信祢的大能，求祢看顧斗叔！

    It is snowing outside on this Christmas day in Canada. HK should be much warmer. I would like to share with you an inspirational item I happen to come across today, starting with the Hymn [God hath not promised]:
    1 神未曾應許，天色常藍，人生的路途，花香常漫，
    神未曾應許，常晴無雨，常樂無痛苦，常安無虞。
    2 神未曾應許，我們不遇苦難和試探，懊惱憂慮，
    神未曾應許，我們不負許多的重擔，許多事務。
    副 歌
    神卻曾應許，生活有力，行路有亮光，作工得息，
    試煉得恩助，危難有賴，無限的體諒，不朽的愛。

    About the Author:
    作者傅安妮（Annie Johnson Flint 1866-1932）一生坎坷，三歲喪母，遭寄養家庭苛待，經鄰居告發後，被傅氏夫婦領養。八歲時信主，九歲時開始寫詩。 廿歲時養父母雙亡，不久她因關節炎發作而不能教書，陷于貧病交迫、無人照顧之困境。 以後四十年，她一直生活在痛苦中，肢體變形，手指關節毀損，艱辛地握筆在打字機上打下詩句。 安妮的結論是「神可以醫治，但祂對每一個人有不同的旨意，而 神要以她的軟弱來榮耀祂，並確信 神的恩典是夠她用的。」 因此她順服。

    So is God's answer to Paul's prayer in 2 Cor 12:9 'My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.'

    We don't know what God's will is, but let us trust in Him. 'If we are faithless, He will remain faithful, for He cannot deny Himself' 2 Tim 2:13

    Dear Josh & family,

    When I was a younger person who has heard Benny preached years ago, I praise the Lord for the influence he has on my life and many others.
    As you journey with your dad in this special time of his life, may the Lord of Christmas richly bless you with strength and peace. Everything is in His hands.

    Grace Ko
