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)
