第28章 招待你的靈魂 (2)

字體:16+-

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn’t show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime. Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I’d have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, “Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.” There would have been more “I love you...”, more “I’m sorry...”

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute… look at it and really see it... live it... and never give it back.

Stop sweating the small stuff. Don’t worry about who doesn’t like you, who has more, or who’s doing what. Instead, let’s cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us. Let’s think about what God has blessed us with, and what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually.

Life is too short to let it pass you by. We only have one shot at this and then it’s gone. I hope you all have a blessed day.

生病了,我就臥床休息。因為我知道,一天不工作,地球照樣轉動。

我會點燃雕成玫瑰狀的紅蠟燭,不至於讓它在閑置中消融。

我要少說話,多聆聽。

我要請朋友來家中做客,即使地毯弄髒了,或沙發褪色了,也不在乎。

我要在裝潢“考究”的客廳裏吃爆米花,就算有人在壁爐裏生火帶起了爐灰,我也不會操那麽多閑心。

我要從容悠閑地聽爺爺講他年輕時候的故事。

我絕不會因為在夏天頭發剛梳理好,還噴過發膠,就堅持要把車窗玻璃搖起來。

我要和孩子們一起坐在草地上,絲毫不顧忌草漬。

我要在看電視時少哭點兒,少笑些——在看人生時,多哭些,多笑點兒。

我不會在買東西時隻注重實用性、耐髒或耐磨。我不會在期盼中度過九個月妊娠期,我要珍惜每一刻,要清楚地認識到,體內孕育著的神奇是我今生唯一協助上帝創造奇跡的機會。
