女兒作畫和智慧泉源

(2008-11-26 17:48:49) 下一個

    女兒霏喜愛畫畫。她課後或在家裏有閑時,喜歡勾畫馬,看關於馬的小說,或寫馬的故事。目前她還從未參加任何繪畫培訓,平時她畫畫都是自己模仿書上的圖。我和先生都沒有畫畫天分,霏如此喜歡畫畫,想來是遺傳了我妹妹的天賦。妹妹是服裝設計師,以前業餘還教過畫畫,隻是她住在新加坡,從未有機會麵授霏畫畫技巧。今晚我挑了幾幅霏畫的馬圖放博客上,懂畫的博友請多多指教囉。

  霏課外隻學習三項:芭蕾舞,鋼琴,和跟我學中文。我們不想讓她太忙碌,念4年級的她作業還不算多,每天放學,大約10幾分鍾的作業,然後和弟弟玩或自己畫畫。晚餐後,練習鋼琴和中文各20-30分鍾。若第二天有小測,我們陪她溫習功課。溫習完畢,全家有時一起玩遊戲,今晚我們一起玩Sorry(對不起)的遊戲。玩半個多鍾頭後,為孩子洗浴。臨睡前,全家在一起讀一《聖經》章節。 

    這兩天我們一家在念《聖經》的《雅各書》,《雅各書》隻有五個章節,但是每個章節都有很多智慧箴言,很有啟發。昨晚念了第三章節,提到人要管住自己的口。“船隻雖然甚大,又被大風催逼,隻用小小的舵,就隨著掌舵的意思轉動。舌頭在百體裏也是最小的,卻能說大話。看哪,最小的火能點著最大的樹林。舌頭就是火,在我們百體中,舌頭是個罪惡的世界,能汙穢全身,也能把生命的輪子點起來,並且是從地獄裏點著的。各類的走獸、飛禽、昆蟲、水族,本來都可以製伏,也已經被人製伏了;惟獨舌頭沒有人能製伏是不止息的惡物、滿了害死人的毒氣。我們用舌頭頌讚那為主、為父的,又用舌頭咒詛那照著神形象被造的人。頌讚和咒詛從一個口裏出來,我的弟兄們,這是不應當的。泉源從一個眼裏能發出甜苦兩樣的水嗎?”(雅3:4-11) 真正智慧泉源應是 “從上頭來的智慧,先是清潔,後是和平,溫良柔順,滿有憐憫,多結善果,沒有偏見,沒有假冒。並且使人和平的,是用和平所栽種的義果。”(雅3:17-18)1

    念好《聖經》章節後,我們為遠方的家人,新朋舊友,鄰居,孩子的同學等等向神祈禱,求神的智慧和帶領。最後,先生為霏蓋掖好被子(tuck her in),我為安蓋掖被子,親吻道晚安後,兩個孩子9點左右睡覺,我和傑明也有了自己的時間。

    這不,輕舟正在辛勤開墾她的博園呢!嗬嗬 ^-^

注1:

雅各書3:4-11 & 17-18的英文KJV原文:

Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? ....

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
