如何活下去（1）

如何活下去（1） 若詩

記起一套長編劇集，'黄金十年'，不甚記得劇集內容，但劇名卻常常記起，究竟人生的黃金十年是那十年呢？

如果人生的黄金歲月是那單純無知的孩童年日，父母呵護照顧，那為什麼我記起的都是大人告訴我不可做這樣，不能做那樣？我想的得不到，我不想的，卻偏要我完成！如果能在任何時間做自己喜歡的事，那就是最開心完滿的話，那麼孩童時期的十年就一定不合格了！


少年十五二十時的青春歲月，合格了吧？青春無敵，一早起來刷完牙，洗過臉，鏡子也不用照就可外出的奢侈日子，無價呀！只有用黄金來形容，是嗎？但是成長時期的苦惱，讀書考試溫習通宵的滋味，現還記憶猶新！黄金十年，好像還摸不著邊際！


二十至三十可以了吧？年輕力壯，那種柏力有如如日中天，字典裡根本沒有一個難字，那種衝勁，為理想，為著憧憬的將來而奮鬥，然而很多時未見康莊大道，就遇到失敗，掙扎，再努力，又掙扎，再失敗，黄金十年？因人而異吧！

三十至四十一定是最好的了！ 事業穏定，成家立室，生兒養女，是人生最輝煌最有建設的十年，但也是最辛苦的十年，責任大到不得了不用説，為兒女，擔驚受怕，甚至節衣縮食，黄金十年還是最苦澀的十年？心知肚明！


那麼還有多少個十年? 三個? 四個?


當我發現我的記憶力不如前，拚命用盡方法也無法把埾經金句記下的時候，我體會到什麼叫做心有餘而力不足的痛苦！當我和別人談論問題，哲理，信仰，常常發覺內心有許多的說話，卻無法令對方明白，甚至令人誤會，是詞不達意，書到用時方恨少，少壯不努力，老大後悔莫及！ 那麼，還有多多個十年又有什麼用呀！


人生的盼望在那裡? 對餘下的日子還可以希望什麼呢？


如何活下去？苦惱 …………

1. Psalm 37:5

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: “Faith adds its Amen to God’s “Yes” and then takes its hands off; leaving God to finish His Work.” (Days of Heaven upon Earth)

2.   T=Truthful

      H=Helpful

      I =Inspiring

Before we speak, “THINK”, and make sure that our words are Truthful, helpful, inspiring, necessary and kind.

3. Matthew 19:26

Jesus said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 17:20

He (Jesus) replied,” …… Nothing will be impossible for you.”

“” Jesus said, “Everything is possible for one who believes.””

Do you think there is a difference in these passages?

1. “Church growth in numbers is strictly the Will and the works of God.
However, it pleases Him greatly that we pray continuously/persistently for
it.”, an encouraging comment I heard last Friday.
