A mosquito, really bother me and my family. I tried very hard to snap
it, lose out after several tries. Felt frustrated then I pray to God for
helping to catch it and kill it. And I did it, mission completed.

Seasoned Bake Sweet Potatoes
Yes, this can be either snack or dessert.
It is simple and healthy, easy as
1-2-3-4-5-6-7; buy it, wash it, cut it, season it, bake it and then eat it. Wait,
here is the 7th, love it.
The seasonings that I used are, coarse
sea salt, hand grind pepper, paprika
and avocado oil, how much to use? Just enough to taste.
Anyone has question about how to cut
those nice sweet potatoes while it’s still raw and hard; without cutting through
the whole piece of it and evenly, well, almost, ha? Wait for it, here's the fun part about cutting.
First, of course, make sure you have a
sharp knife, and if you are really good at cutting then feel free to cut it
without any aid tool. Otherwise, you can use either 2 of the chopsticks or
2 piece of small cutting boards and have them on each side of the sweet potato
and cut it, here, I prefer the small cutting boards, steadier.
I normally set the oven's temperature to
350°F for baking and bake until you can smell the good
aroma of that food then it's done.

taro, sweet potatoes or yam, purple yam small rice balls
芋圓、地瓜圓、雙色地瓜圓
Ingredients:
去皮後的芋頭、地瓜、紫地瓜
Peeled taro, sweet potatoes or yam, purple yam, cooked and mashed
100g
樹薯粉 Tapioca flour 30g
滾水.....依情況決定加入 hot
water amount vary
Try to use different kind of ingredients to make a colorful
snacks.
I only made the ones with sweet potatoes, got tired and I’m
glad that I decided so. Not because it doesn't turn out good but the kids won't
buy it, it ends up I finish them all, all by myself in sweet barley soup for
days. It tastes good and bouncy.
And I didn't use any water, the water in the sweet potatoes
is good enough for making into balls with tapioca flour.
on duty
Last week I have a special on duty
days. In two days, I got a totally of 8 companies are interesting in our great media,
emails (3) & call-ins (4).
(The best to promote your company and services, that's how I
always mention in my email.)
Among these, there are 3 constructors, 2 food industry companies,
and 2 pairs of same name who called for advertisement or expo. (David and Daniel)
I was happily enjoying this confusing on duty day.
5 vs. 3
Not long ago, I got the coupons from kohl's in
the email, one of them are $10 off of a purchase of $30 or more. And it turns
out its, $10 off of a purchase of $50 or more, I used this type of coupon of
$10 off of a purchase of $30 or more couples times before and never has this
over $50 or more before.
Therefore, my eyes, my brain and/or my heart
must assume that is a $10 off of a purchase of $30 or more. I even double,
triple check with my own eyes before I went to use it, still, my fault, or I
should say, my eyes fault.
should we prune the tree 1
This is a question that my son asked, weeks ago when we were on
the way to church.
Well, how about you? What will be your answer?
For me, I agree, of course, otherwise, the tree will grow too tall or something. It’s also good for the tree itself.
And my son, obviously, not agree with that. Why do we make the decision for the tree, does it really need it, and even it won’t make noise, it doesn’t that it’s not hurting by that.
And
sure enough that if you go on computer and Google, it shows all the reasons, how, why, and
when to prune the tree. In realistic the answer is yes, but if a tree can talk,
then, there will be definitely another story to tell, right?
It's not me, it's you (10-14-2016)
"Where Is the Love?" was first released in June
2003 by the American hip hop group, The Black Eyed
Peas. A new version "#WHERESTHELOVE”,
featuring The World was released on August 31, 2016, cooperated with a great
deal of artists in music industry. The profits of this single will go to
educational programs.
The Black Eyed Peas -
#WHERESTHELOVE ft. The World
It's not me, it's you; it's all your faults, not mine; it's because you do or
say that so I have to say or do this, do those sounds familiar to you? We tend
to pointing fingers to anyone else but ourselves.
In this song it says things that
I want to express, love is the solution, the love from God. It also mentions
things happen in the world recently including the fiery topic, election.
1 John 約翰一書 4:8
He that loveth not,
knoweth not God, for God is love.
不愛人的,就不認識 神,因為 神就是愛。
1 John 約翰一書 4:20
If a man say, “I love
God,” and hateth his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother
whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
人若說“我愛 神”,卻恨他的弟兄,就是說謊的。不愛看得見的弟兄,就不能愛看不見的 神。
1 John 約翰一書 4:16
And we have known and
believed the love that God hath for us. God is love, and he that dwelleth in
love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
神對我們的愛,我們已經明白了,而且相信了。 神就是愛;住在愛裡面的,就住在 神裡面, 神也住在他裡面。

Yo, people living like they ain't got no mommas

I think they don't understand the concept or the meaning of karma
(Where's the love)
[Verse 2: Diddy]
Overseas, yeah, they trying to stop terrorism
(Where's the love)
Over here on the streets, the police shoot
The people put the bullets in 'em
(Where's the love)
But if you only got love for your own race
(Where's the love)
Then you're gonna leave space for others to discriminate
(Where's the love)
[Will.i.am]
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate, then you're bound to get irate
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how hate works and operates
Man, we gotta set it straight
Take control of your mind, just meditate
And let your soul just gravitate to the love
So the whole world celebrate it
People killin' people dyin'

Ongoing suffering as the youth die young

[Game]
Where's the love when a child gets murdered
Or a cop gets knocked down
Black lives, not now, everybody matter to me
All races, y'all don't like what I'm sayin'? Haterade, tall cases
Everybody hate somebody, guess we all racist
Black Eyed Peas do a song about love and y'all hate this
All these protest with different colored faces
We was all born with a heart, why we gotta chase it?
And every time I look around
[Taboo + Ty Dolla $ign]
Every time I look up, every time I look down
No one's on a common ground
(Where's the love)
And if you never speak truth, then you never know how love sounds
(Where's the love)
And if you never know love, then you never know God, wow
(Where's the love)
Where's the love y'all? I don't, I don't know
Where's the truth y'all? I don't know

My mama asked me why I never vote never vote
Cause police men want me dead and gone dead and gone
That election looking like a joke such a joke
And the weed man still sellin' dope
Somebody gotta give these niggas hope give us hope
All he ever wanted was a smoke oh my gosh
Said he can't breathe with his hands in the air Layin' on the ground died from
a choke
[apl.de.ap + Fergie]
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
As I'm gettin' older y'all people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction
Wrong information was shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinemas
What happened to the love and the values of humanity?
(Where's the love)
What happened to the love and the fairness and equality?
(Where's the love)
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
(Where's the love)
Lack of understanding leading us away from unity
(Where's the love)
It's not me, it's you; it's all your faults, not mine; it's because you do or say that so I have to say or do this, do those sounds familiar to you? We tend to pointing fingers to anyone else but ourselves.

There Goes My Social Life
Not even finish half the book yet,
but I have something or I should say a lot things to say about it.
After I borrowed it from library,
brought it home and because I borrowed 3 books at the same time, I didn't read
this one first, set it aside and I almost forgot that I borrowed this
particular book, every time, I pass this book and thought, why my son borrowed
this book, ha, funny.
Before I open my mouth and ask this
question, my son asked me, "Mom, I thought you are
a Democrat person, not a Republican one". That’s when
I realized that I am the one who borrowed this book. I don't quite recall the
exact reason that I borrowed this book in the first place, I’m not even a
politic people, knowing not much about it. No one is perfect on everything or can
cheers or satisfies everybody, whoever is good for the commonwealths, then, he/she, get to be the head of the
country.
Another funny thing is, this book
just in time for the hot topic of 2016 U.S. presidential election,
although, she is talking about the previous election and the social
media.
Did you get to watch or heard about
anything about the first presidential debate of 2016 on Monday night,
September 26, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton debate each
other at Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY.
It's more like arguing than
debating. The second day both side claimed they won the debate.
Let’s get to the point, about this
book; it's good, most of time, to say aloud about your opinion on things. By
the power of media, millions of people will know you in an instant, either
follow you or against you.
Also about the author, Stacey
Dash, an American celebrity, her childhood, a not so easy
one.

Waking the Spirit
An incredible journey, so
many touching and amazing real life encounters, occurred in the near death
experience of the author, Andrew Schulman.
Many times, I burst into
tears, not because feeling sad but tears of joy of those accounts.
It’s unbelievable, he even get to meet one of the music player in the record that his wife plays from his iPod, the one that save his life before this gentleman die, and say thank you in person.
Andrew surprisingly to meet the son and daughter-in-law of the legendary lyricist, Yip Harburg, and an old couple, who was close friend of the composer and pianist, George Gershwin.
This is the one music
that wake Andrew from coma.
St Matthew Passion - Matthäus-Passion BWV 244 | (Complete) (Full Concert) (J. S. Bach)
St Matthew Passion - Matthäus-Passion BWV 244 | (Complete) (Full Concert) (J. S. Bach)
The high rate of effectiveness are Bach, Gershwin, and the
Beatles as mentioned in his book. Among those, here are exceptionally effective.
Queen -- Bohemian Rhapsody with lyrics
Schubert Ständchen : Camille Thomas and
Beatrice Berrut
I’m not merely enjoy
reading his story but also the music that he mention in this book. Here are just 2 one them.
Debussy - The Girl With the Flaxen Hair -
Samnon
George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue
Certain type of music do
have the power of healing. Music a noninvasive & without side effects.
As helping someone else, you
are rewarded profoundly without you knowing it.
The best way to say thanks
to who’d ever help or inspire you, is, go help the next person in need or
inspire another soul.
Is the body in control of
our behavior, our soul and spirit or is it the other way around?
In this typical case of
coma. The waking of the spirit that help to wake your body, the physical and
the soul.
On sale
Albertsons, a supermarket, in my area, almost every time, whenever
it has something on sale and I get to go shop for those on sale items, it just
never have enough on sale products in stock, almost every time.
And every
time I go, I compliant, so my son says to me, well if you already knew then
don't come to this store for on sale items, simple as that.
Suggestion accepted, but my point is, should the store supposed to
have enough or extra in stock for this on sale thing.
I mean that they do give rain check, but I just don’t get it.

frozen strawberry yogurt
It’s like around 48 oz. of plain yogurt, 1
pound of small diced strawberries and around half c of honey, mix well, then
froze it.
Not too much honey otherwise, it’ll lose its
sour taste from the plain yogurt.
silent
心情煩躁時,不妨選擇沉默
When feeling of irritable, be silent.
And here what I mean, be silent is both for the people who feels of irritable and also the people who are around him/her which you should learn that.

Jokes of the day
1). A joke from my niece.
因為對某些水果過敏,所以問老闆娘綜合果汁裡面有什麼,『綜合果汁裡面有水果呀~』這句可以跟上次那個『扁魚就是一種很扁的魚』湊成一對了呢=v=+
Because allergy to certain fruit, therefore I ask the juice bar owner, what's in this blended juice, "ah? There are fruits in the blended juice ~" this answer can really be paired up with "flatfish (brill) is a very flat fish" silent!
還好她不是買月餅或是太陽餅。
I'm so glad that she was not buying Mooncake or Suncake.
2). Smartphones
A smartphone is, which it thinks, makes decision, and make the move on its own, that is how smart it is.
( It changed the ring tone that I specifically pick for my special ones, and decided to take off one of very important contact. Wow!)
3). Cockroaches
Tried to catch a cockroach but failed, but it did thank me for providing such an environment for it to move in. Sad!
忙裏偷閒,苦中作樂。

Car2
Yesterday, before I went home from
work, I wrote a blog about how one of my coworkers, ignore the date that he
supposed to have an oil change, and his car breakdown.
On the way home, I suddenly remember to check when I should have
mine, an oil change, I was startled to find that my car, the mileages is way
pass the mileages that I supposed to have the oil change, a little over 400
miles.
My jaw drop, how careless I am, and how lucky I am in the
meantime.
So today after the communication service, I went to have the oil
change and the technician also observed the water tank has crack and leakage.
All fix now, safe to go.

Someone’s birthday today, must not forget, must

The other I heard one of our coworker that his car breakdown, the
engine, he tried to prolong the oil change, a car that is younger than mine.
And I’m
so appreciate my old car, 18 years old Corona, still running good (knock on wood), and ought to treat anyone,
anything the right way.
Robin Williams: a singular portrait 1986 - 2002
Don't judge a book by its cover, but that' how I decided to read this in the first place.
I laugh so loud when I flip to the back cover of this book. What on earth was he thinking about? Both the statue and Robin William. Ha!
An up-close look at Robin Williams, there’re
more than 150 photographs including some never been published. Along with
touchy inside stories about him and his family.
He can really make me laugh
without saying a word, even just an expression or a pose.
A legendary
with multi-character, an observational comedy, improvisational comedy,
character comedy, self-deprecation, surreal humor, an
American stand-up comedian, actor, director, producer, writer, singer and voice
artist and won several awards.
With a
sad ending for himself, committed suicide at his home in Paradise Cay,
California 2014.
Victor Borge Dance Of The Comedians
Victor Borge
If you never seen his
video, I, personally, strongly recommend him to you.
He is ridiculous funny to
listen and watch at the same time.
But there’re things that
you need to know before you watch his videos.
Number one, never watch
it in the morning, otherwise, you’ll miss your school or work or an appointment
or anything important.
Number two, not ever,
watch it in the evening, or else, you’ll stay up the whole night in order to
finish all his videos which is not good for your health.
Number three, don’t
watch it while you’re eating, if not, you’ll either skip the meal or choke by
the food.
Ha! Ha! Ha! That’s how humorous
yet so talented he is. He didn’t need to read the note while playing and acting
so hilarious.
I have no clue that how
are so many ideas he can have or did he rehearsal with his guests for the
performances, or I should say, did he need to?

Alone but not lonely
Sometimes, I just have to remind myself that the kids won't be on
my side forever.
Yesterday,
they went to a wedding together.
so I
went grocery shopping alone, went home nap a bit, took care of my baby plants,
browse internet, listen some lesson from the YouTube, publish articles for my
blogger, ate dinner, had desert.
Feeling
alone but not lonely.
Pray
for their safety, their future and everything.

WE COULD BE BEAUTIFUL
Before I can share something about this book; while I read along, I thought, it's a book of some sort of bio or nonfiction, a real life story is told.
It's only toward the very end of the book, I'm shocked and embarrassed to find out that it's a fiction, a novel, not a true story.
It is when it solved the mystery in my mind, when I reading this book, all the plots, scenarios, are so much like the soap operas, although, we cannot deny, the story in the soap operas does happen in real life.
The way the story is described, makes me want to finish the book as quickly as possible in order to know the result, and there's even times that I'm tempted to just skip the story and go to the end.
It is a good storytelling book, you can visualize the scenes.

There's a conversation about their coming youth retreat with my son.
Me: So you guys are going to carpooling for the retreat, right?
Son: of course, what else?
Me: oh, how about, planepooling?
Son: yeah, right.
Me: Let' go buy a plane and you be the pilot!
Son: yeah! And everybody will landing with a parachute!
Ha!

heaven & hell
People use the words, God, heaven and hell, all the time in their
daily conversations.
Like, oh my God, go to hell for heaven's sake, will you?
But
they refuse to admit that there is truly a God, heaven and hell are actually
exiting.
Is
that self-contradictory.
71°F
There’s one time I went to the post office to mail a package.
I
felt so chill when I step in, and I noticed the temperature was set
as 71°F for the air conditioning.
Do
we really need to set the temperature that low? Its waste of energy.

Pomegranate
Last week I went grocery shopping with a coworker and she bought two bags of Dried Cranberries Pomegranate Juice Infused. And yes, they have the word, Pomegranate much bigger and eye-catching, and
yes again to my eyes. Until today I went back to the store check on the
label again. I realized that it’s Dried Cranberries
not Dried Pomegranate, silly me.

Labor Day
Breakfast for three = home grown tomatoes + home raised chicken eggs (Oh, how I wish).
Lunch for three = New York strip
steak with bone in + onion + corn on
the cob.
Yeah! Those were for Labor Day weekend. And
turned out, I worked (cooked) harder than ever. But happy meals + happy kids =
happy mom, oh well.
Addition to the laboring thing, I do have the
first time ever, very successful on cooking the steaks with oven.
Sure that I google it before cook it, I broil each side of the steaks
for 10-15 minutes(depends on what bakeware that you are using, for metal one,
like the cast iron bakeware, ten minutes should be enough, in my
case, I have the glassware, so another five minutes to add on the ten) to lock
the moisture in
Then turn the temperature down to 300 – 350°F for 10 - 15 minutes, add in sliced onions to the same
bakeware as the steak. This way the onion can be done and steak taste at the
same time.
And make sure separate all the sliced onions before throw all in the baking.
You can also substitute onion with other vegetables,
carrots, potatoes, asparagus and much more. Be creative
and explorative.
cloudy
A cloudy day makes me feel depressed, especially the sunny day in California, it's like
forever.
I
talked to a coworker about this cloudy day today, it's like going to rain but
cannot that makes feeling down. Then she said, oh, this is like someone trying
to go to bathroom but cannot pee off, now that's not nice but this did make me
laugh my blue away.

9-16-2016 worship songs
Listen or sing along with it. Then tell me, any thought about this song.
Breathe by Jonny Diaz Lyrics
The reason that I pick this song in the
first place, is because I like the beat, so lively and encouragement. As I try
to sing along and learn to sing well, I realize that it's kind of too fast for
me to catch up the lyrics or I should say catch my breath. What in the world?
When the songwriter wrote and composed this song what is in his mind?
We all live in a world, full of the rush,
rush, rush, the busy, busy, busy, and then me, me, me world.
It's a crazy world; slow down, rest at
His feet, just breathe, breathe in the peace, the hope, the love, the faith,
the comfort, the healing, the Holy Spirit.
Unlike other times, when I prepare for the
worship songs, I normally, have the songs that come to my mind and pick, one or two or
sometimes even earlier prior to the actually worship dates, I have no clue or whatsoever, what songs that I should use for this coming Friday's fellowship gathering.
Until this early
morning when I routinely browsing the internet, I was on my Facebook page, then
the thought of worrying came into my mind, should I just use those 3 English
songs that I listen over and over again the past week? But it's a fellowship in
Chinese, then I have another thought, maybe one of my Facebook friend will
share a song that I can use, right at this second, a song, I believe, appeared on
the screen from one of my friends.

Joke of the day
You won't believe this, when I typed in 隔行如隔山 for the translation in English, this is what I got, Ge-hang-ru-ge-shan(here I add in the dashes for the exact pronunciation of it), literally, this is just what the pronunciation of this Chinese idiom.
The different profession job field, the knowledge is totally different. Well, most of the time, you just cannot understand or judge or give advice for a field that you are not in, period.

look at you now
Do you have a dark past that you won't share to anyone even to
your parents or siblings?
The author Liz Pryor finally let her secret out, though, after 36 years, bravely let it all out to the public in her book, it’s inspiration to others in some point.
I feel bad and happy for her at the same. She asked her mom’s permission
before she dies to write this memoir. It’s a way to release pressure or sorrow
or anything negative thought out, via writing in this case.
There’s a saying, its better safe than sorry. Some bad things can
be prevented from happening. But if did happen, how to deal with it, physically
and mentally is crucial to a person’s future.
I’m not sure is that the best way that Liz’s mom’s decision for
her, but she sure turn out real well.
Something to ponder over, what is more important, the way that you are or the way that others think you are?
puzzled
I really cannot stand when people next or near you, they
cough and sneeze without cover their mouth, burp or fart or or cursing or making some weird
noises like no one else is around in the public.
Mostly, what I really puzzled, why do some people, has to
wear perfume or cologne, it’s like they use the whole big bottle of it, very
smelly, bad.

When your Dad works in Hollywood
Philippians 腓立比書 3:13-14
13 Brethren, I count not myself
to have apprehended it, but this one thing I do: forgetting those things which
are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,14 I
press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
13 弟兄們,我不是以為自己已經得著了,我只有一件事,就是忘記背後,努力面前的,14 向著標竿直跑,要得神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。
Is there anything in the past that
you wish it can be changed? For me, I wish that I was born in a Christian
family. What is yours?
Who can be the son of Jesus Christ?
Is that
someone who is perfect in everything, is that someone who donates a lot of money or is that
someone who gives the best offerings?
John 約翰福音 1:12-13
12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 12 凡接待他的,就是信他名的人,他就賜他們權柄,作神的兒女。13 這等人不是從血氣生的,不是從情慾生的,也不是從人意生的,乃是從神生的。
Galatians 加拉太書 3:26
for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
所以,你們因信基督耶穌都是神的兒子。
Ephesians 以弗所書 1:4
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
就如神從創立世界以前在基督裡揀選了我們,使我們在他面前成為聖潔,無有瑕疵;
We are blessed and protected from our heavenly Father.
Isaiah 以 賽 亞 書 41:10所以,你們因信基督耶穌都是神的兒子。
Ephesians 以弗所書 1:4
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
就如神從創立世界以前在基督裡揀選了我們,使我們在他面前成為聖潔,無有瑕疵;
Our Abba
Father is not just change your lives out of computer technology, make changes
in the cyber world but alter your lives completely.
When we are in deep stormy,
come across of difficulty, temptation, in danger, fear, come to Him, in him,
there's peace, comfort, healing and redemption.
We all do have a different
Dad, Abba
Father.
We don't
need to be perfect or good to be the son of God or give gifts or money.
What
good and different being the son of God?
Ephesians 以弗所書 6:10-18
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.13 Therefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and, having done all, to stand.14 Stand therefore, having your loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness,15 and your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace.16 Above all, take the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God,18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
10 還有末了的話:你們要靠著主,倚賴他的大能大力作剛強的人。11 要穿戴神所賜的全副軍裝,就能抵擋魔鬼的詭計。12 因我們並不是與屬血氣的爭戰,乃是與那些執政的,掌權的,管轄這幽暗世界的,以及天空屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰。13 所以,要拿起神所賜的全副軍裝,好在磨難的日子抵擋仇敵,並且成就了一切,還能站立得住。14 所以要站穩了,用真理當作帶子束腰,用公義當作護心鏡遮胸,15 又用平安的福音當作預備走路的鞋穿在腳上。16 此外,又拿著信德當作藤牌,可以滅盡那惡者一切的火箭; 17 並戴上救恩的頭盔,拿著聖靈的寶劍,就是神的道; 18靠著聖靈,隨時多方禱告祈求;並要在此儆醒不倦,為眾聖徒祈求,
We are blessed and protected from our heavenly Father.
So do not fear, for I am
with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help
you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
你不要害怕,因為我與你同在;不要驚惶,因為我是你的神。我必堅固你,我必幫助你;我 必用我公義的右手扶持你。
你不要害怕,因為我與你同在;不要驚惶,因為我是你的神。我必堅固你,我必幫助你;我 必用我公義的右手扶持你。
Romans 羅馬書 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
但願使人有盼望的神,因信將諸般的喜樂、平安充滿你們的心,使你們藉著聖靈的能力大有 盼望 。
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
但願使人有盼望的神,因信將諸般的喜樂、平安充滿你們的心,使你們藉著聖靈的能力大有 盼望 。
John 約翰福音 16:33
I have
said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you
will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the
world.”
我將這些事告訴你們,是要叫你們在我裡面有平安。在世上,你們有苦難;但你們可以放心 ,我已經勝了世界。
我將這些事告訴你們,是要叫你們在我裡面有平安。在世上,你們有苦難;但你們可以放心 ,我已經勝了世界。
We may not be able
to change anything that happened in the past, but we can make a different
decision for the future, trust in Lord, become a Christian, your descendants
will be born in a Christian family, and receive the blessings form our God.
