今天是平安夜,早上起來唱了這首《O Holy Night》。想演唱這首歌很久了終於在今年平安夜這天完成了心願,小哥給了我大大的鼓勵,說是聽過我唱的音最準最有感動的歌,太高興了。老哥空時喜歡去casino玩,今天我們全家就預定了去賭場吃聖誕晚餐,難得的全家團聚, 回來再聽大家的歌。這首歌裏有天使唱歌算動物組的一員吧。
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night devine, O night!
O night divine!
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Let ever, ever praise we,
Noel, noel.
O night, O night divine!
Noel, noel!
O night, O night divine!
Noel, noel!
O night, O night divine!
每年聖誕節前,醫院有個傳統會包場動物園三個晚上,讓員工和家屬have holiday dinner和觀賞holiday lights,坐小火車看表演和晚上仍然活躍的動物們。今年因為病毒就隻能在醫院園區做了很多彩燈開放給大家開車觀賞,算是在艱難時刻也要把節日慶祝的傳統繼續下去。我最近迷上了攝影和幾位一樣愛好的同事約了一起去拍彩燈,結果我彩燈照片沒有拍好幾張,做模特兒做了半天,非常喜歡這組節日照片在這裏和大家分享,真心感謝攝影師的努力和功力,在夜晚閃爍的燈光下還能拍出這麽清晰的照片。
聖誕節的意義在於要我們看到生活中的真善美,讓我們因著對和平安詳的世界的祈禱而心裏充滿希望和快樂;也讓我們記住耶穌基督的誕生給人帶來的光明,總讓人感覺到心裏柔軟和溫暖。一位遠在香港的朋友告訴我他放假了會去孤兒院看孩子們,也讓我在不幸的淚光中看到了基督博愛的光芒在人間閃耀。
祝大家平安夜平平安安甜甜美美!
