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.

The Birds Of The New Land 應許地的鳥

Is there any bird in heaven? I am sharing some videos, you can see how smart and cute those birds are!
天堂有鳥嗎?鳥可以上天堂嗎?在此我分享幾個影片,你將發現這些鳥是多麼聰明可愛啊!
He is my love bird, Little In (UK). I took this photo when he came to my home within one month.
這相片是小英剛來到我家第一個月拍的.

One of my students wrote a me note to comfort me about the Promised Land. He agreed with me the name of the new church in Luliau, and he reminded me there is no more sorrow. For the LORD will wept our tears in the New Heaven and Earth. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." (Rev.21:4)
前不久我的學生在臉書上安慰我,他說他很高興在鹿寮的新教會叫作新天新地教會.他相信神必會成就祂的應許在我身上:神要擦去他們一切的眼淚．不再有死亡、也不再有悲哀、哭號、疼痛、因為以前的事都過去了。(啟示錄21:4)

Commemorate My Love Bird 紀念我的愛情鳥

I post these photos for commemorating my love bird, Little In (UK), he just passed away this Sunday morning. 

I took this photo for him on October 31st, one week before his sleeping in the LORD.

 
I took this photo for Little In (UK) and Little May (US), when I just met them within one month. They sang and played together happily in my bed room last December.

This summer when I just moved to my hometown-Luliau in Taichung, I took this photo for this adorable couple. They love and enjoy the time together with each other so much. They often kissed and made love.

God grants me two grand love birds, Little Ma and Little Ry, during I receiving my alternative treatment.(Actually four, but two died during that period.) On the right side of the photo, we can see Little In and Little May was communicating and caring with their new generation. How lovely this love bird's family is!

Good Bye, My Love, Little In (UK). 再會,我心愛的小英~

十一月六日一早當我要為鳥兒們換水加食物時,突然發現貌似小英的鳥陳屍鳥籠,使我的心悲傷不已!
今天原定是教會感恩節特別愛筵聚餐,昨晚我還畢生首度嘗試煮一道正式的菜~麻油薑片烏骨雞湯,為此忙碌到很晚.
再不到一小時就要與從大里來的新朋友姊妹見面,講道與主持聖餐及感恩聚會等服事,這突來的惡訊重擊我心.
只能強忍內心悲慟服事我主,畢竟毫無心理預備,只因我太忙,以致牠一命嗚呼,我來不及救治,哀哉!我心充滿自責!

我不禁問主,為何讓這樣的事如此發生? 主日我忙了一天,晚上又為因電費不明原因爆增煩惱哭泣失眠的信徒奔波服事後,接著才處理我的愛鳥.鳥電老闆娘判定是母鳥難產而亡!果真如此,這就是那忠心盡責的小美!請原諒你這過忙無能又無用的主人吧!


十二月一日終於將活著的小鳥帶去鑑定,確定去世的是小英---我最心愛的小鳥.而這些天小美仍是如此充滿母愛,不但強忍喪偶痛又盡心竭力的顧兒,辛苦你了.小英,如今你可以歇了地上的勞苦,到天堂在主的國度中享受歡樂!謝謝帶給我的美好時刻,我會全心照顧小美,小馬和小力的,你放心地走吧~
小英已入葬在鹿寮新天新地教會的後院,可說是第一位殉道鳥(因主人忙於服事而犧牲),安息吧!

The Love Season VI 愛的季節 (六)

After three months, my grand birdies-the Little Malaysia (Ma) and Little Korea (Ry) finally try and learn how to enter into their cage this week. They used to live with no cage before this fall. I have to admit their parents Little Us (In) and Little UK(May) are adorable and wonderful teachers.

Even though when my grand birdies Little Malaysia (Ma) and Little Korea (Ry)were born, I could not see them in the first moment. I still received the LORD's comfort through them. I felt so excited for the coming of the new generation. But One thing bothered me after I started to raise them from this fall, that was they did not know how to use the cage. I tried many ways to assist them, for I knew the cage will protect them when the winter comes. 

I was thankful God prepared two families of my students to raise my love birds, Little Us (In), Little UK(May) and Little Taiwan (Tai) during I received the surgery and alternative treatment in this spring. But one day I felt sick to know the Little Taiwan (Tai) passed away suddenly because of hard adjustment of the speedy weather change in Chung Li. Her healthy situation had rapidly deteriorated, that I could not even see her one more time before her passing away. 

When I got a thyorid cancer, it is a sad event for me. I grieved for her a lot in the first beginning. I also viewed it as a loss in my life at that time. However, the LORD comforted me soon both by transforming my perspective and granting three more promising eggs- Little China (Chung), Little Malaysia (Ma) and Little Korea (Ry).

The Love Season V 愛的季節 (五)

These are my grand birdies.  Do you notice that Little Ma with his new hair style. He makes it by himself. So cute!
這是我的金孫鳥小馬與小力.你是否注意到小馬的新髮型?這是他自己的弄的,酷吧!夠可愛吧!

雖然小台和小中已蒙主恩召,但神另賜下開朗活潑不怕生的小馬與小力,每天充滿活力盡情的鳴叫歌唱,讓我深感安慰.

The Love Season IV 愛的季節(四)

Even though I do not learn love birds' words, yet I know their love language.
我雖沒學過鳥語,但卻懂牠們愛的言語.
When I hear their sound on the upper floor, I will let them hear my cheerful voices, too.
當我聽到牠們在樓上的鳴叫聲,我也會讓牠們聽見我興高彩烈愛的語言.
How to love not too much or too less? To love love birds is so easier and freely than to love humans. 
如何不要愛過多或太少?愛鳥是如此的容易和自由,遠勝於愛人. 

The Love Season III 愛的季節 (三)

I wish you a healthy and joyful life in the love season.
在這愛的季節裡,我祝福你有一個更健康和喜樂的人生.

Be sure to take care of yourself in every circumstance!

不管在任何的光景與環境中,要記得照顧好自己!

The Love Season II 愛的季節 (二)

Life is simple for birds, so does love.
生活對小鳥來說很簡單,愛也是如此.

Parents and their sons.
在上面的是爸爸-小英,媽媽-小美和祂們的愛子-小馬和小力.

The Love Season I 愛的季節 (一)

Love is also the necessary and natural food for life. 
愛是生命不可或缺的營養食物.

If someone loves you, you will know even though there is no a word.
如果有人愛你,你心將會知道,即使沒有說半句話.

The Love itself comes from the LORD.
這愛本身是從上帝來的.

Happy Easter! 復活節快樂!

復活節的腳步近了! 
I wish you a very happy Easter !

I took the photos for my grand birdie, Little Taiwan, last year.
這是去年替我寵物金孫小台拍的相片.

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.

After Little Brother Passed Away 自阿弟上天堂

I can  image how sad and lonesome the Little Blue was after the Little Brother passed away. Therefore, I set them free immediately after the Little Snow Blue came. 

Look! Little Brother and Little Blue 阿弟與阿藍

Love Never Fails 愛是永不止息

愛是永不止息 (林前十三:8) 即使阿弟年老體衰處於人生在世最後階段,但阿藍不離不棄的相伴相隨,想必帶給阿弟永恆美好的回憶.

The Last stage of Little Brother 阿弟人生最後的旅程

Little Blue gave true love to Little Brother, though he was older than her. I was thankful that Little Blue accompanied Little Brother at his last stage of his life. Little Blue was so kind, active and lovely.

The Little Brother spent most of his life accompanied my godfather. He lived even longer than my godfather. Having the love with the Little Blue, you can state that Little Brother has a wonderful life.
