感恩的心

昨天是我一个朋友Angeline的大喜之日。

这位小姐啊，在婚礼一个月前就已经开始紧张到夜夜失眠。

昨天参加她的婚宴时，我真的感受到她的兴奋与喜悦。

我也深知道她与Paul将会非常地幸福，过着美满的婚姻生活。

我与Angeline虽并没有认识很久的时间，但在相识的两年多三年里，我们一起经历了工作上的重重挑战。

也可能是因为我们俩在思想与观念上有共同之处，所以谈得来，能够彼此交心，坦诚说话。

感谢天父无时无刻地在我平凡的生命中给我小小的感动，也让我拥有无数个知心的朋友。

Angeline & Paul: 祝福你们！

建力：感谢你答应帮我那个忙，你最棒了！

Still on the topic of new year resolutions....

Wanted to share this with all my friends...I received this from my personal coach, who has always been an inspiring woman to me.

Five New Year’s resolutions for any Christian leader

One of the most misunderstood Beatitudes of Jesus may be one of the most important for you to master in 2010:

“Happy are the meek, for they will inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5).

Let’s be honest. It sounds ludicrous. You’d think to inherit the earth you’d have to climb over everyone else first. But we’ve lost the true meaning of meekness. Meek doesn’t mean weak. Jesus and Moses were described as meek, and they certainly were anything but weak. Meekness really means strength under control. The Greek word referred to a wild horse tamed or medicine that could tame a fever.

Strength under control is an important characteristic of any Christian leader.
A leader who can’t control his or her strength can’t lead others to do likewise.

Here are five ways to keep your strength under control in 2010:

• When someone serves you, be understanding not demanding.
• When somebody disappoints you, be gentle and not judgmental.
• When someone disagrees with you, be tender without surrender.
• When someone corrects you, be teachable rather than unreachable.
• When somebody hurts you, be an actor not a reactor.

That’s real freedom. What more could you want in 2010?

2009 年的最后一天

正当大家在忙着写下新年决议的时候，我也跟大伙儿一样，正在回想2009 年的点点滴滴。

想着想着，2009 年实在是过得非常多姿多彩，有好的，又坏的，有开心的，也有悲伤的。

当朋友问我2009年过得如何时，我总是会如此回答:

上帝创造了宇宙万物，把最美好的摆在我们面前。无论我们遇到多难过或难熬的事，只要你肯珍惜，一切都会是最美丽最美好的。

所以呢，2009 年对我来说是个开心的一年。你呢? 有空的话不防告诉我吧 :)
