God Gives Me Mercy 神賜下憐憫

I have seen the little birdie went of the bird room twice after I posted the article "Waiting By Faith" the day before yesterday.  It seems Little Taiwan has grown up a lot within a week. I am so glad that my Little Taiwan is peaceful and feels secure with me. However, his mother, Little May, gave her a hint to come into the bird room immediately. This loving couple entered into bird room to accompany their children instantly. I can feel they love Little Taiwan very much. I am full of gratitude that God grants me this loving birdie family.

自前天部落格刊出[憑信心等候]一文,隔天我的小台就露臉從鳥屋出來兩次!!! 不到一星期的時間,小台長大不少. 看見小台很平安從鳥屋出來,我很感恩心中的疑惑頓釋. 小台好像還對我挺有安全感,倒是牠的母親小美立刻示意小台進屋同時自己也立刻進鳥屋陪伴.她的父親小英見狀隨後也一同進鳥屋.讓我感受到小台有對愛她的父母是項恩寵!!!晚上看見這恩愛夫妻睡在鳥屋頂靠窗口處,而小台則倚在鳥內屋窗口旁休息小眼睛不時好奇地向外張望.很高興神賜我這美滿恩愛的小鳥家庭!!! 

God gives me Mercy, Little Taiwan. He knows my need and the purpose of my life. It is by being an ama (grandmother) of the little birdie that I realize God's creation and will more deeply. "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." (Genesis 1:28 NIV) For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.(Jeremiah 29:11)

感謝神賜下憐憫,我的金孫小台. 神知道我的需要和我一生的目的為何. 正是在成為小鳥阿嬤的過程中使我對神的創造和旨意有更深的了解. 耶和華說、我知道我向你們所懷的意念、是賜平安的意念、不是降災禍的意念、要叫你們末後有指望。(耶29:11) 神就賜福給他們、又對他們說、要生養眾多、遍滿地面、治理這地．也要管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥．和地上各樣行動的活物。(創 1:28)

Waiting By Faith 憑信心等候

Waiting by faith is a lifelong lesson. I have seldom seen the little birdie, Little Taiwan, since I posted his photo last time. It excites me to open the bird room, yet I know to wait by faith is the best policy. 

憑信心等候是一生的功課.我必須承認對寵物鳥兒們的了解度有限,尤其是金孫小台.自從上次為牠拍照後幾乎就再也沒看見小台到鳥屋外活動過,這一點真是讓我心裡很納悶.甚至我想小台是否[父母化]正代替小美在孵其他的蛋. 百思不得其解時,很想打開鳥屋看個究竟.但我知道最好的選擇是憑信心等候,就像先前等候數個月後鳥蛋終於孵育出新生命小台一樣.從鳥蛋的孵化後又經過不知多久的等待,小台終於在千呼萬盼及眾人的代禱祝福聲中問世.

Though I do not often see my grand-birdie, his mother, Little May, accompany his father, Little In, in the cage everyday. This couple spends many time to teach and talk to Little Taiwan. They encouraged him by singing songs joyfully whenever Little Taiwan responded their calling and communication. I lean to know there is a need to repeatedly excite children have the motivation and courage to talk or sing eagerly by observing their behaviors.  Meanwhile, I realize how much the heavenly Father pleases us to pray, to talk and respond him and his calling. Yes, In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. (Psalm 5:3 NIV)

自從小台誕生後,牠的母親小美天天在鳥屋外和小英一起活動.雖不見小台但看見小英小美十分恩愛,我的內心因此得了安慰.小英小美每天同心育兒,每一天都很殷勤地對小台說很多話,當小台偶有回應時他們就更熱烈地歡唱附和小台的叫聲鼓勵牠教牠說更多悅耳的鳥語. 從這對愛情鳥夫婦身上我不僅體會到愛的呼喚與教育的方式,如何從小蘊育一個良好的鳥語學習環境.原來連雛鳥都需要成鳥天天對牠說話使其有說話唱歌的勇氣與動機!!!同時我也更深了解天父喜悅聽到我們對祂禱告說話回應祂的聲音.是的,耶和華阿、早晨你必聽我的聲音．早晨我必向你陳明我的心意、並要儆醒。(詩5:3)

My Little Taiwan 我的小台

Look! Little Taiwan is God's beautiful creation!!! This little birdie catches my attention everyday.

我的金孫,名叫小台.這是牠剛出生不久的相片,羽翼未豐卻是上帝美麗的傑作!!!

Becoming A Grandma 成了鳥的阿嬤

I am glad to share that the new generation of my love birds has come to explore this new world on last Saturday. (September 4th). This little birdie, Little Taiwan, God's amazing creation is so adorable. And now I am becoming a grandma of this little birdie!!!


謝謝各位網友的代禱與守候,我很高興在此與您分享我的喜悅,經過九個多月的等待,上週六也就是九月四日愛情鳥的下一代走出鳥屋探索新世界了!!!頓時我變成了小小鳥的阿嬤(AMA;Grandma).真令人興奮的時刻,與我的金孫第一次相遇令人印象深刻. 金孫小台(Little Taiwan)很可愛,第一眼看牠很像小企鵝.

為避免過度干擾與驚嚇我的愛孫,我等了三四天讓牠更適應這新環境後才替牠拍下這第一張相片.這相片中的小台已比先前長大些,膽子也大了些,您瞧,長得很漂亮又可愛吧!這就是上帝奇妙的創造!!!

An Unusual Alarm 不尋常的警示聲

The weather keeps changing a lot this year. It is a big challenge for me to adjust the changing weather. It rains a lot recently though the weather still very hot. One of my friends who had finished her vacation and come back from Japan called me that she caught a cold the day before yesterday.Another friend lives in USA wrote me that she lost her weight about 20 lbs recently because of the stressful life and taking care of her sick parents. How about you? I hope you keep healthy as well as enjoy your life, and I will meet you soon.

This early morning I almost catch a heavy cold if without my bird waking me up. You cannot believe that this early morning the weather here changes as if it is in winter. My love bird,In means England is his name, makes a loud noise about ten minutes. This strident noise is as if to give me an unusual alarm that I should pay my attention to make an adjustment to the special circumstance. All in all I woke up. At that time I felt weak and very cold. Soon I wore warmer clothing and drank a cup of ginger water. Progressively I felt much better after the weather changes into summer style again in daytime. I am so thankful that God even can use my pet to take care of me and protect me from illness. I have never heard In make such a longer and loud noise except one day there was a bigger temple fair in this city last year.  Now I view my birdies as the spiritual couple. How amazing?! What about you?

In is the left one of the photo. May is in the right one.

The Recent Photos Of My Pet 我寵物的近照

這是小英和小美難得的近照,兩鳥非常專注地看著鏡頭,不知主人正在做什麼?我僅量在不干擾牠們的前提下請愛情鳥入鏡,所以拍照的時間只有短短幾秒.欣賞寵物的珍貴畫面叫身為主人的我得到不小的滿足與安慰,顯然害羞怕生膽小的小美慢慢了解並接納這位主人的善意.正如網友所見,小英和小美最近成雙成隊非常相愛,隨時可見牠們在鳥籠各處深情長吻.到目前我仍忍耐未打開鳥屋一看究竟,我打算再過兩週七月底時為牠們徹底清潔鳥屋順便了解裡面的變化.希望屆時小鳥新生代已經誕生,剛好可當作我租屋週年慶的賀禮和紀念.

The Hairs God Numbered 上帝數過和編號的頭髮

福音書中耶穌說,[天父若不許麻雀一個也不能掉在地上],以及[你們的頭髮也都被數過了].耶穌拿天父對麻雀的看顧來強調人的價值更甚於此.自愛情鳥再度住入鳥籠中的這三個月,我對這些經文的了解和體會更深.

不可思議的遨翔年,我不但建立部落格,使用臉書,研究網路線上遊戲,同時還開始瘋狂地收集每一根愛情寵物鳥所掉落的羽毛.這三個月我成了道地的愛惜羽毛的人.每當看見牠們的大大小小各種顏色不同部位的羽毛掉落,其實我真的很心疼.因自己的親身體驗,所以我相信上帝也是這樣珍惜我們所掉落的每根毛髮.即使年老髮白甚至日漸禿頭,上帝的愛是有增無減的.

鳥的羽毛兼俱人的頭髮,各部位毛髮與衣服的多重功能.鳥全身所覆蓋的羽毛分佈在不同的部位,其實就有其不同的名稱,結構和功能.這篇網誌我引用了Peterson鳥專家對鳥結構的介紹,以及如此藉此辨識各種不同的鳥,希望藉此網友能更認識上帝偉大美麗精緻而智慧的創造.

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.( Matthew 10:29-31 RSV)
兩個麻雀不是賣一分銀子嗎？若是你們的父不許，一個也不能掉在地上；就是你們的頭髮也都被數過了。所以，不要懼怕，你們比許多麻雀還貴重！(太10:29-31)

If you know the detailed knowledge of the anatomy and morphology of birds to be a competent birder, it is great for you. Yet it is more important to be thoroughly familiar with the parts of a bird’s visible plumage, or its feathers. The feathers of birds is like the hair and clothing of human beings.

I post a picture and the video from Peterson Field Guides, the main purpose is to enhance your understanding about God's awesome, beautiful, wise and great creation. By them you will know that the major groups of feathers are the remiges (flight feathers of the wing), rectrices (tail feathers), coverts (feathers that cover the bases of the remiges and rectrices, both above and below), upperparts (mantle, scapulars, and upper surface of the folded wing), and under parts (throat, breast, belly, flanks, vent, and undertail coverts). It is also necessary to know the terms for the markings of the head and for the parts of the bill (beak).

Birders often use less formal terms to identify features of a bird: cheek, forehead, chin, wrist, arm, hand, frontlet, cap, bib, eye patch, cowl, and others. Consult the Glossary for definitions of these terms.

Love Your Feathers 愛惜羽毛

These feathers belong to my love birds, Little In and May. How beaughtiful and colorful God creats for them. One day morning I found they laid down the floor of my apartment.They caught my attention immediately, so I picked them up directly without any anatomy.

The Chinese said 'love your feathers', which mean a person highly cherish their integrity, fame, reputation and so on. Sometimes some people love their feathers even more important than life. Are you that person?

Watch And Listen To Love Birds 觀賞並聆聽愛鳥

揮別不捨爵士公貓上天堂的哀傷,現在全心照顧我的寵物愛情鳥.雖然喜歡賞鳥,但我卻從未曾想要養鳥.偶而想到自己養了寵物鳥這件事,5 和我相依為命感情可說是好得很.您瞧,不但為牠們建立專屬的部落格,甚至為牠們製作了寫真月曆.接下來為牠們會有什麼不可思議的創舉,實在很有想像空間.

為了不驚擾小英和小美,這三個月我停止為牠們拍照和攝影.如果您想進一步觀賞並聆聽愛情鳥的聲音,以下的影片是不錯的選擇和參考.

願上帝的美麗也能如此藉我們身上傳揚出去;願我們也能傳播上帝真理使人得聽美好聲音.

Are Love Birds The Troublemakers 愛情鳥搞破壞嗎?

Who Is the Troublemaker? Is Your Beloved One A Troublemaker? I have never known love birds can be the troublemakers until it had happened. 
由於無知加上缺乏養愛情鳥的經驗,幾個月下犯下不少錯誤.慢慢我發現原來愛情鳥也會搞破壞!!!這相片原是我貼在牆上的美國地圖,如您所見右上方呈現不規則狀還缺一大塊,這就是小英和小美在今年二月時的[桀]作. 

不只如此,牆壁也被牠們啄出一個小洞,浴室從彭湖帶回的貝殼吊籃也被牠們啄斷掉到地板.另外,牠們還飛到熱水器內下蛋,甚至會去啄電線很危險.最終我無法再縱容,牠們只有再次被關到小小的鳥籠中.當我要將牠們抓到鳥籠時,小英和小美自然死命抵抗逃命.這過程中牠們受到不小驚嚇,差點喘不過氣來,我懊惱加自責內心相當難過.於是下定決心,從此僅量少干擾牠們.希望牠們能充份被尊重,享有安全快樂成長的鳥權,能慢慢適應狹小空間的生活.


我會說,有時父母不夠了解自己的孩子或孩子與父母的差異時,很可能會和我有頗類似的經歷,甚至將發展自我期的天才誤認為惹禍專家呢!從我育鳥的過程中可以充份感受到,人的愛是如此的有限,主觀和自我中心.客觀而言,尖銳的鳥喙是上帝對牠們的獨特創造,是中性的,這並不是牠們的錯.愛情鳥只是本能的發揮牠們善啄的本事而已,牠們吃葵瓜子的功夫更非常人所及.可能小英和小美會認為我這位不了解牠們的主人經常帶給牠們不少麻煩,是真正搞破壞的高手呢!感謝神,所幸摸索磨合期已過,人和鳥今已兩相安相悅,也謝謝各位友人的關切與代禱.

The Life Is So Amazing 生命是神奇的

The Bird Little Brother Passed Away 再見,阿弟!

I took some photos before Little Brother passed away, he was pretty old. He has a longer life, he lives even more longer than his master, my godfather.

I started to understand how much God cares man after I experienced Little Brother passed away. I started to realize the reason why Jesus took the bird as an example to explain Heavenly Father loves us far more than love a bird.

You may not know how easily and quickly for a bird pass away. Until I saw it, I can state that only for a second is enough for a bird dies. I saw Little Brother looked down and fell down almost at the same time. Honestly speaking, I did not feel pretty sad about that. Even I did not feel any special or strong grief emotion. It is so easy for a bird to pass away, even so God still takes care of them and know the time of their falling down. The more I remembered how Little Brother passed away, the more I know Heavenly Father loves me deeply and completely.

How Smart This Little Bird Is 這隻小鳥真聰明

最近接到友人寄來的影片分享,建議可以好好訓練我的愛情鳥.其實牠們只要活得健康和開心,我就心滿意足了.至於是否會多國語言,是否會口技表演,是否能聽從指令等等,我都不奢求.我看小小鳥兒的腦容量相較於人是那麼有限,牠們能接受照顧活潑地生活就很不錯了.
影片中的這隻小鳥可說真的很聰明,主人可能是訓練鳥類的專家.也許欣賞完這影片您對鳥類的看法會有說改觀,原來上帝也賜給鳥類朋友們如此的發展潛能呢!

The Second Chance 上帝賜下第二次的機會

上帝對我真好

第一次養愛情鳥我犯下許多無知的錯誤,包括移動鳥巢,驚動牠們所生下的蛋等等.過去這半年來天氣相當多變與惡劣,愛情鳥常在牠們的鳥屋中沒有到外面活動,這段期間對我來說還挺難受的. 時常我擔心牠們是否健康,是否活得不開心...,包括想到牠們的九顆蛋因我的無知與好奇都作廢,我有很多的自責,壓力與忍耐.

然而,上帝賜我第二次機會可以重新來過,在學習中成長並喜樂!五月我請教養鳥的店家後買來這鳥巢給愛情鳥磨牙用的.約翰英文查經班結束後,六月有一天我決定加大愛情鳥的活動空間,於是諮詢養鳥的店家後將鳥籠擴大三到四倍,感謝神,結果成效良好,終於看見我的愛情鳥再次展翅跳躍.有天早晨聽到牠們鼓動翅膀的聲音,感受到為祂們付出都是值得的!!!前天還首度看見成雙成對進進出出並且在盪鞦韆享受作愛,我知道不久牠們的新生代即將來臨,我心中十分喜悅,上帝讓我沒有遺撼!我的上帝就是對我這麼好,連這種事都看顧. 祂誠然是看顧麻雀的恩主,(想像全世界有多少驚人數量的野鳥要養活呢!),不管您曾犯下什麼錯誤,遇到多大的困難或是有什麼難以面對的過去,只要您願意來就近信靠祂,深信祂也必眷顧您!

No News Is A Good News 沒消息就是好消息

It has been said, no news is a good news. Yes, it is. It is another lesson to believe that God takes care of my love birds while they live in the cage all day long. I found birds were very special creation, too. They love and need high freedom and privacy just as human. I suppose and hope they are hatching their eggs in their cage, since I rarely see the Beauty flying outside recently.


My pet, the Gentleman(Little In) and the Beauty (Little May)were caged for months. It is a top lesson for me to learn giving unconditional love for them without any feedback. It means I can not bother them because of love or curiousness. That is I can not kiss them, hug them, touch them, even just have a look how are they doing. Isn't that crazy to raise such kind of pets? Definitely! Yet, I still love them. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:8 NIV)

In Love Birds' Eyes 賞鳥

Kisses 吻

看哪!美麗又優雅的小英和小美和睦同居是何等善,何等的美!這是牠們在我清潔鳥籠加入鳥屋所取得短暫自由飛翔的時間所進行的活動,真令我十分的感動與自省.過一段時間等我研究清楚後,再決定是否對牠們進行野放.若牠們有野外求生的能力,我想牠們在森林中生活會更幸福.

鳥店的老闆告訴我,小鳥不只需要鳥籠還需要鳥屋才可能生蛋和撫養下一代.於是我只得再次的將鳥屋放入鳥籠中,這意謂著要又一次的干擾小英和小美平靜的生活.我發現小鳥真是天生愛自由,膽小敏感又好奇,同時無法被人勉強按主人的期待的方式過日子.雖然已經有生育下一代的能力,但未必表示有此意願.

我漸漸看見因為自己的無知所犯下的錯誤,一方面因為愛和關心同時也因好奇,以致侵犯了鳥兒們的隱私與生存空間而完全不自覺.我全然的活在一個主觀與盲目當中,卻又大言不慚的自以為給了牠們比別的主人更多的容忍和寵愛.

兩週前愛情鳥重新回到鳥籠生活,這對我和牠們來說都是一段困難的決定和適應的過程.但根據大眾及鳥店老闆的說法,這是比較安全和可行的方法.愛情鳥的確是相當愛好自由而且很難被強迫的,非常獨特的受造物.這兩週牠們並沒有如我預期按我期待的孵育七個鳥蛋,反而躲得在鳥籠的角落,失去了自由加上多變陰冷的天氣,讓牠們變得沉默許多.我必需承認,到目前為止,我還是不夠了解牠們.

A Personal View And Learning 個人的觀察和學習

This is my personal view and learning from my love birds:
1. God is an Artist: 上帝創造萬物如此豐富,多元與美好.愛情鳥也是上帝的傑作!有一天我學生瞥見牠們,當下立即的反應就說:好漂亮喔!是彩色的!
2. God is Love: 聖經上說我們的頭髮上帝都數過,表示上帝對人的愛是長闊高深的!對於鳥類來說,羽毛等於是牠們的頭髮(也是衣服). 我這主人看見牠們掉羽毛,好心疼.每根對我來說都是珍貴的,常常我會拾起收藏.這幫助我體會神是愛,神對人的愛.所以,即使年老髮白,甚至髮禿,上帝都愛到底.更特別的是,我們掉幾根頭髮上帝都一一加以編號,神的愛夠深情吧!
3.God Disciplines who He loves:自由和紀律是需要取得平衡和協調的. 如同經上所記神所愛的必加以管教,使他結出平安的果子就是義.我發現愛情鳥也是需要管教的!就像小孩子一樣到處製造髒亂和垃圾,完全不知道大人的標準和尺度.有時愈擔心或愈不希望牠們做的事,牠們完全不懂到處任意搞破壞.
4. God is my Redeemer:罪進入世界後上帝與人的關係就遭破壞,萬物與人之間的關係也一無倖免.我發現鳥似乎很怕人,愛情鳥已經算較易親近的品種,但也不例外.其實'小英'還算很有安全感,甚至會主動觀察關心我,但平常對人的第一反應還是是躲與藏.很像亞當夏娃犯罪後的第一反應.感謝神派耶穌成為世人的救贖主,這一切破裂的關係在十字架的救恩中都將得到復和.不但如此經上還應許將來上帝將賜下新天新地新的耶路撒冷,並且萬物都將合一!!!
5. God is my Master:上帝在我身上擁有雙重主權,祂不但是我的救主更是我生命的主宰.不過有時我卻將祂視若無賭心中無主所以目中無人不謙卑.我發現我的愛情鳥有時也會如此喧賓奪主.牠們在我家廚房和浴室生活的那一段時間,當我進出廚房浴室較久時,牠們就會發出警示聲要我離開走人.我心中覺得又好笑又好氣,雖能理解鳥在維護牠們的地域權但仍我感到很莫名其妙.此時我的心就受警誡的自問,身為上帝管家的我會不會有時也像愛情鳥一樣,將受託管理權誤認為所有權而坐到神的寶座上卻毫無知覺呢?
6. God has Chosen me: 我是被神揀選的!神在萬人中親自千挑萬選驗中我,這是多麼的激勵我.當我陷於自覺孤單或無助時,我是被神親點所揀選的這個事實深深安慰我的心.這一兩年我多次多方體會到,我在母腹時神就看見我並揀選我的屬靈事實.因為神的揀選,牠也多方褓抱保護和訓練我,以後有機會我會多分享這一點.感謝神,'小英'和'小美'也是我親自看上眼的,選上牠們沒有讓我後悔.相反的,是多一份的肯定與連結. 在眾多鳥種中我挑上這品種.我觀察牠們覺得很可愛,考慮很久雖當時心裡正為爵士的離別哀傷中,但仍親點這合群活潑聰明可愛的愛情鳥.
7.God has given me the Second chance: 我感謝神,耶穌在十架上一次完成救贖,一次獻上完全獻上,成為永世得救的根源.上帝作工是如此的有效,並不遲延. 但上帝卻對我非常有耐心,在許多事上祂經常給我第二次的機會. 我其實不是天生有耐心的那種人,所以在這一點上至今仍在接受上帝嚴格的管訓.在照顧'小英'和'小美'的過程中,我發現自己還挺能一忍再忍的再三容忍牠們這裡搞糟那裡弄壞.雖然牠們製造問題,卻沒有減損我對牠們的喜愛和接納. 但我的忍耐畢竟是有限度的,而且我也會因此煩惱. 不過換個角度看,寵物寶貝們幫助我體會天父的心,我也要說聲謝謝.
8. I need to Learn how to Raise them:當我有心照顧我的寵物時,牠們就成為我的寶貝.雖然我愛,但我的愛卻仍是自我中心式的,自私的,主觀的,甚至是盲目無知可能傷愛牠們的.我需要耐性等待殷勤學習,我需要謙卑付出樂於服事.我更需要禱告神的恩聖靈來幫助我智慧的盡上我寵物主人之責.寵物有時就像自己的小孩一樣,但沒有人天生知道如何成為盡責成熟的父母親.我在英文查經班中看見母親為子女付出與代禱,我看見身為人母的重要與掙扎.在養寵物時我也小小的體會到這樣的經驗和感受,更為我們的上帝成為我們天上的父如慈母般憐恤照顧我們的愛獻上感恩.
9. I have to take Care of myself: 英文查經班的講師幾次問大家:聖靈住在各位裡面是否感到安舒? 身體是聖靈的殿需要保養顧惜!即使是遇到不順遂的事,不要忘記聖靈是隨時的幫助者和保惠師.意思是說不要讓心裡憂愁,應當仰望聖靈笑臉的幫助.即使是小小的愛情鳥,身為主人的我也希望牠們自我照顧,活得開心和健康,不要煩惱或自殘.我聽說小鳥若感到沒人愛會有自殘的行為,就是啄光自己的羽毛,這實在使主人傷心.但願我們都不叫聖靈擔憂才好!
10. I need Communion:在破裂的群體中需要醫治需要復和需要神重建.相交共享是聖父聖子聖靈三一神的美好榜樣和聖經的教導,意思是上帝希望我們彼此相愛,愛人如己,相交共享正如祂一樣.我也是如此希望我們的愛情鳥寵物們不要分門別類, 而能相親相愛相知相惜!

Back to the Normal 回歸平靜與正常

感謝神,今天終於擺脫陰霾!感冒也好,頭痛也好,小鳥也好...一切回歸平靜與正常.今天愛情鳥再度用牠們的鳴啼聲叫我起床,讓我感到很安慰. 經過了三天牠們終於慢慢適應小空間的生活,等到了天堂就會有充足的空間.希望過去這三個月自由飛翔的日子,成為牠們一生美好的回憶.


'小英'和'小美'在鳥籠中,衣食無虞,目前暫居在我的廚房.如此可避免常常被打擾,同時最接近牠們外面的鳥類朋友們,可能會開心些.今天當我進廚房時,甚至牠們不像以前發出驚擾與敵意的警示聲.似乎已學到我才是牠們的主人,同時也願意和我一起分享生活空間.


我的寵物實在都是乖巧,聰明,敏銳又善解人意.今天'小美'甚至還第一次向我眨眼睛表示善意. 當小鳥特別注目時人是很容易察覺的,因為牠們眼睛長在兩旁,要仔細看人時需要轉頭.那樣子實在又可愛又惹人憐.一個從左看你,一個從右看你.還記得曾經有好次我忙著使用電腦做事,突然抬頭往前看見'小英'飛到廚房的門把上一直想看我在忙些什麼.難道連我養的愛情鳥也有Greek Mind嗎?小小鳥兒也會關心主人,這是上帝特別的恩寵,令我很感動.


今天我一位朋友要來拜訪我,這一陣子她一直忙著寫要發表的學術論文. 所以,雖然我的手藝不如理想,我還是想預備請她吃些營養的飯食.更何況上週二連我的學生都對我說:老師,請你要多注重營養,人要健康是需要多吃營養的東西.我的學生就是這麼愛我,還關心我的健康與飲食.我知道這一切都是因著上帝的愛和恩典.希望2010年遨翔的是健康美麗年輕又喜樂的我!看來得多花時間保養顧惜神的殿,免得講員問起聖靈是否住得安舒時,一直答不上來,愧對聖靈內住的美意和美好時光!

The End of Crazy Life 結束瘋狂的日子

詩仙李白(Li Bai, Chinese poet)亦為雀痴(Bird Lover),曾以詩易雙鷴，詩曰：
清以雙白璧，買君雙白鷴。白鷴白如錦，白雲聇容顏。照影玉潭裡，刷毛琪樹間。夜棲寒月靜，朝步落花閑。我願得此鳥，玩之坐碧山。胡公能輟贈，籠寄野人還。

如果是你會如何選擇呢?讓寵物鳥自由自在無拘無束怎樣都可以,開心的相愛與飛翔即可,還是以管理與訓練為重?最近我考慮將愛情鳥野放回森林中,但當務之急是協助牠們照顧七個鳥蛋...


本週我作了一個困難的決定和行動.週三晚上愛情鳥自由又瘋狂的日子結束了!我將'小英'和'小美' 再次放回原來的鳥籠中,希望他們善盡為鳥父母之擇好好將七個鳥蛋孵化出下一代.這麼做我心裡很難受,但我實在無法忍受牠們過度享樂而未盡鳥父母的本份!其次,他們到處下蛋也使得好好孵化下一代的任務增加很多的困難.第三個原因是發現愛情鳥開始掉毛,而且較先前掉得更多,讓我很心疼.


週四可說是最難過的一天!兩隻愛情鳥整天不太說話和唱歌,可能是失去飛翔的空間與自由很不開心.我一天好幾次窺視牠們,'小英'和'小美'只是默默相依一起卻不見牠們有絲毫要孵蛋的舉動和意願.看來我得去好好作功課並且請教專家以解決照顧與管教愛情鳥所遇到的瓶頸和困難.


多年前我心裡想,那些會為小鳥花錢的人簡直是太瘋狂了,不是嗎?當時我和Lysa TerKeurst一樣,看重自己想達成的目標和睡眠勝於關心小鳥的死活.唸博士班到北加州作研究寫論文時,因室友的貓生病了我有機會到美國的獸醫院.當時剛好看見一隻鳥被送來獸醫院就醫中,頸項上戴了一個和貓狗用一樣的防護頭套.當下我立即問了一個問題:天底下怎麼會有這種事呢?!


沒想到沒幾年以後,我自己也成了同樣的人.在毫無預備,也難以拒絕的情況下,擔任起小鳥的主人.而現在更為了愛情鳥的事,心情憂悶,不開心,搖擺掙扎並自責.簡直是太不可議!太超過!太瘋狂! 所以我現在常對人說:天下沒有不可能的事!不可能就是可能去掉不字!在神凡事都能,凡事也都可能!

Love Birds Chose the Bathroom and Kitchen 愛情鳥選擇住在浴室和廚房

Last December In and May became my pet and I set them free before Christmas. That mean they can fly everywhere they like. They flied everywhere in my apartment, finally they chose the bathroom and the kitchen as their space to stay and live. They even have their eggs there. Recently they caused the water heater damage, therefore I discipline them and limit them to stay in the bathroom only.

 不但如此我,又開始思考這一顆小鳥蛋孵化的成功率有多高?希望上帝能看顧這小小生命百分之百安全出生!連我在台北查經班的會員們,大家都一起為這小鳥蛋祈福呢,多幸福阿! 你瞧!牠的確是非常微小,比我手指小姆趾第一節還小!不過,生命就是這樣奇妙!不論高矮胖瘦美醜,自己家的寵物總是最寶貝的!

不久的未來,我將成為這小鳥蛋[祖母阿嬤]級的寵物主人.我開始向上帝禱告,希望不要讓牠太孤單.我知道獨生子(女)很難帶,獨生孫(女)應該也是如此.

沒想到,神真的回應了我的禱告!那一天剛寫完網誌,天冷得要命.不料,我竟在貓沙盆上發現另一個新的小鳥蛋.太可愛了!太神奇了!牠立刻讓我感受到,神對我的照顧是如此無微不至的而且是不求回報的!感謝神!也感謝我親愛的朋友們!你們的代禱是大有功效的!

New is coming

The Morning Call 主人,請起床!

今天我真不敢相信我的耳朵!我的In and May來叫我起床!真是太不可思議了,很特別又也些瘋狂.這就是我所感受到上帝對我的愛. 請用喜樂的心情聆聽牠們的起床號!在一片黑暗中,愛情鳥愉悅的鳴囀聲中,我收到請起床的歌聲與呼喚.你相信嗎?


這就是我可愛的寵物鳥-去年我是不可能這樣稱呼牠們的,我不想以牠們來取代或轉移我對寵物爵士公貓的愛. Jazz是從上帝給我無可取代的禮物,因此也拒絕接受In and May 牠們的善意.可憐的鳥類朋友很無辜吧!牠們一定感到莫名其妙! 如今我已經調整我的角色和心態,要好好扮演牠們主人的角色. 瞧!現在我是這兩隻小鳥的主人及媽咪呢!


I could not believe my ears today! This morning my birds wake me up at 5:00 a.m.! I remembered the first week they came to my apartment, they did not get up until 10:00. Even my friend was astonished why the birds can sleep so late everyday at that time.!

Look! They are so lovely and exciting. They are curious to everything in my apartment. The birds also show their curiousness to me, sing songs for me, even they give me the morning call whenever I need it.


It is so special and crazy! Surely, that is what I feel about God’s love for me! So Amazing and beyond my reason. Now I realize that if Jesus can send my pet Jazz to take care of me, it is possible for him to send the birds to be with me, too.

The Little Birds Told Me* 小鳥輕輕告訴我

God had His provision by my friend giving me two birds, when I was still in my grief of the separation with my pet Jazz. Slowly I accept the gift. The little birds are a very young couple. I name the young and handsome masculine bird 'In’. The feminine bird I call her ‘May’. It was as a memory of my mother.


The birds I have are so called ‘Love Birds’. One day I discovered that In was not afraid of me and he was curious about me. You can see the picture that he gazed to me. The encounter was very special experience in my life.
I set them free from birdcage after they came to me two weeks. I thought that was their need. To fly freely! I used to be self-centered and human-centered as a master of my pet. But thing has to be changed. Now the young couple birds gain more space and freedom than before.

You can state that they love each other very much, they live together with me healthily and joyfully.







當我正在為遠離的爵士公貓感傷不已時,上帝已透過我的朋友送我兩隻鳥.上帝早已預備,但我慢慢才開始接受這樣的禮物和安排. 這兩隻鳥,一公一母恩愛的年輕夫妻.這是一對愛情鳥,弟兄叫英剛強而姊妹叫美撫媚.牠們很活潑又健康.英剛強對我很好奇,從一開始就會用牠的眼睛凝視我.這是人生很少有的經驗和特別的感覺.

小鳥的基本需求是什麼呢? 應該就是自由的飛翔吧!所以我決定善盡主人的角色和職份,讓牠們享有更大的空間能健康又喜樂的活著. 這是個困難的決定,讓牠們從鳥籠飛出來!從相片中不難看出牠們的相互依附形影不離.原來這兩隻小鳥是特別來照顧和陪伴我的,這是我的新發現.

The Sixth Eggs 愛情鳥下第六顆蛋

每一天早上靈修的品質是影響當天生活品質的關鍵.當投入學習建立網誌還不到一個月的時間,我已深深感受到網路世界與科技對人的影響,一不小心就壓縮及排擠到其他的時間.二月我將靈修和視聽聖經網頁設為首頁,這行動真是讓我自己十分開心,因為有效地在生活中及使用網路中設定正確的優先次序的價值是不言自明的.

你瞧!左邊是我的寵物[小英][小美]這對愛情鳥第六顆愛的結晶,牠們真的好棒,對不對?!鳥蛋只有像一小截手指般的大,不過鳥蛋雖小卻五臟俱全,有上帝的創造和大能的護理著牠們.奇妙吧!

有一個有趣的問題:你知道上帝是第幾天創造小鳥的嗎?答案就在聖經的第一卷創世記的第一頁.

我的朋友們很關心這些小寶貝,想多看看愛情鳥的相關相片,我順便把牠們充滿愛意和讚美的鳴唱叫聲放上來,讓朋友們可以一同享受!

如果不巧你正像上方漫畫中所形容的,正忘記或失去[笑]的能力,那請點選部落格首頁左右兩旁愛情鳥愛情與歡樂交織而成的生命樂章.也許你也會情不自禁地與牠們對話,發出共鳴呢!
