My Little Birds Have Been Adopted 我的金孫鳥被領養

I miss you, my little birdies! This is the final shot before their adoption by a local couple on this June 1st.
我的金孫鳥,小台與小德二世,本月被領養.雖然才過半個月,但我已經開始很想念牠們.這是小加和小美的下一代,也是自我罹癌後首度親自撫養出生的金孫鳥.雖然內心捨不得,但新的主人是一對有愛心的夫婦,想必能給他們更美好的照顧.
我的精力和時間都有限,因此未來若有合適的領養者,小加和小美也考慮讓人收養.如此我才可能有餘力開始寫我的感恩見證集及回憶錄.

A Bird's Better Country 大自然的聲音和家鄉

人類嚮往與大自然和諧共處,這也是上帝最起初的創造及救贖完全的實現.目前萬物都等候,耶穌基督再來時得完全自由.若您處在吵雜的都市,以下是我初次嘗試製作的數位合成音樂盒,有森林小鳥大海等大自然的聲音,希望伴您一起等候天上更美家鄉的來臨.

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?

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)

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!
