圣诞前夕的思念
在这寂静的屋子里，Ben 安静地躺在我脚下，它的眼神里似乎也透着一丝落寞。我望着窗外，那熟悉的马路如今却显得格外空旷，思绪不由自主地飘回到往昔。 与她携手走过的 31 年岁月，如同一幅长长的画卷，在我心间徐徐展开。还记得初遇时，她那璀璨的笑容如同春日暖阳，瞬间融化了我心底的坚冰。我们曾一起在校园中漫步，感受着每一天的挑战；也曾在黄昏下的客厅里依偎，分享着生活的喜怒哀乐。那些平凡日子里的点点滴滴，如今都成了我最珍贵的宝藏。每一次我们共餐，每一个关切的眼神，每一句略微不耐烦但仍然温柔的叮嘱，都像烙印般刻在我的灵魂深处。 然而，命运却在 11 月 15 日这一天，无情地将她从我身边带走。那一刻，我的世界仿佛崩塌，黑暗如潮水般将我淹没。在其他人无视我这位丈夫，争相扑向病床的时候，我杵在原地。至今，我在空荡荡的家里徘徊，每一个角落都留存着她的气息，这气息让我心碎，却又不舍得散去。儿子与媳妇已经回到澳大利亚阿德莱德进修，他们也在为了梦想努力，我不能让他们过度担忧，只能将这份悲痛深埋心底。 如今，临近圣诞佳节，街头巷尾都弥漫着节日的欢乐氛围，而我却只能在这孤独中思念她。我知道，我不能被悲伤彻底吞噬。我把希望放在上帝的手中，就像在无尽的黑夜中，看到那遥远天际的一丝曙光。上帝是那永恒的爱与力量的源泉，他知晓世间万物的命运安排。我相信，广坚在他的怀抱里会得到安息，她的灵魂会在那圣洁的国度里找到永恒的宁静。 在这圣诞前夕，我听到一首首的圣诞歌，那歌声像在安抚我破碎的心，提醒我我的心脏仍在跳动。我祈祷上帝给予我力量，让我能够带着对广坚的思念继续前行，也愿上帝保佑儿子儿媳在异国他乡平安顺遂。我知道，虽然广坚暂时离开了这个尘世，但在上帝的安排下，终有一天，我们会在那美好的彼岸重逢。那时，不再有悲伤与离别，只有永恒的幸福与团聚。荣耀归于上帝。

Overflowing: A Landscape of Love and Loss
K, The silence since November 15th stretches like an infinite landscape, punctuated by memories both tender and raw. Grief arrives not as a single moment, but as a living, breathing presence that inhabits every corner of our shared story. Your absence is a profound language I am learning to speak — each breath a delicate…

Weekend Encourager – Sharing God’s Love This Christmas
Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ. It is a season of joy, hope, and celebration. It marks the moment when God demonstrated his boundless love by giving his only begotten son. As Christians, this profound gift reminds us of the incredible love we have received and inspires us to share it with others. John 3:16…

Weekend Encourager – Giving Beyond Calculation
What does authentic Christian stewardship look like when our resources intersect with divine purpose? Generosity does not necessary emerge from surplus but from a real understanding of God’s abundant grace. “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor…

Weekend Encourager – Rekindling the Passion
Have you found yourself spiritually adrift? Does worship feel more like a distant echo than a vibrant connection? Did skipping church one week become skipping it for two years? In our journey of faith, it is not uncommon to experience seasons where passion wanes and spiritual enthusiasm seems to fade. “Yet I hold this against…

The love has gone … or has it?
I got an inspiration on 30/10/2024. I put down in writing on the next day and shared it with some close friends. I am sharing it now. It was written 15 days before K left us and went to be with Jesus. Each day, Logan moved through the hospital room with quiet, precise care. He…

Goodbye, K.
The two nights of wake services are over. The funeral is over. The remains have been taken for cremation. Is it over? Not by a long shot. Besides the legal formalities, I must pack her things. The grief inside me no longer needs to be suppressed. I can stop being the cold-blooded, heartless, unloving husband…

13/11/2024|Ps 113 – You Raise Me Up
I mistakenly thought today we read only Ps 113. I prepared this. We are to read both Ps 113 and 117 today. I will write a separate blog post. Does God see you in the zenith of your life? Does he see you in the nadir of your life? “The Lord is exalted over all…

Weekend Encourager – How Deep is Your Love?
1 Cor 13 tells us love is patient and love is kind. By this definition, when we love much, we have more patience. When we love more, we are kinder. On the other hand, when we love less, we are less patient and less kind. As Christians, we are still human. We have emotions. We…

Weekend Encourager – Be Kind
I spent quite a bit of time in the hospital. I sometimes see people who need help. One auntie needed to know how to get to the clinic for her appointment. One uncle was not sure where to get the number for the queue. One patient is not sure the procedure to get her medicine.…
