文: 何怡玲 恩典不断,上帝的爱与怜悯永远与我们同在。即便是在行动管制 令期间,上帝依然赐我内心平安,我深深相信上帝会供应我们生活的 所需,也会在这期间保守我们一家人。 感谢上帝,因为在这期间,我有更多的时间可以待在家里。由于 是在家里上班,所以陪伴父母的时间也多了。即使会有小小的争吵, 但上帝依然在这些事情上重新教导我那些我以为自己早已学会的事物。 上帝也让我透过这个“假期”,让我勇敢地尝试新事物。感谢上 帝让我透过ZOOM视频软件来进行美术工作坊。在整个MCO期间,我结识 了来自各地的新朋友。我与他们分享了我的爱好。令我最开心的是, 我不仅有机会分享自己的爱好,还能提倡积极的正面思想,并且透过 上帝的话语鼓励他人。在每个工作坊中,我都被圣灵感动。心里总是 带着即期待又紧张的心情来分享书法技巧。在靠着上帝的爱和力量, 我分享了上帝的话语。无论是与同学们一起写圣经经文,又或是与他 们分享简短的感恩和鼓励信息,这都让我觉得无比快乐。每次的研讨 会,都让我深深地感受到上帝的同在。上帝给了我一个机会,不仅可 以与他人建立关系,而且还可以建立新的友谊。上帝透过我所喜爱的 事物,将它成为一个管道,来分享上帝的爱,希望他人能逐渐地认识 那爱我们的天父。感谢上帝,凡是我不能的,在上帝的帮助下,我都 能慢慢学习新事物,与他人建立关系,分享上帝的爱。 上帝永远是美好的;祂的时间是美好的;祂所作的也都是美好的。 我相信,在每一个困难或挑战、甚至是那些让我们感到软弱的微小事 物;上帝的爱和指导,都会帮助我们。愿这个疫情期间,我们能更深 地经历神,更加亲近他。以感恩的心记录,阿们。

Grace upon Grace By: Elaine Ho Grace upon grace, God's love and mercy will never fail. Even in times of pandemic, God gives me peace within, that He will provide and protect us. I thank God because during the MCO period, I spend more time at home, working, spending time with parents and get out from my comfort zone to try something new. I thank God for an opportunity to conduct art workshops by using ZOOM Video Call. Throughout the MCO period, I made use of the time I had to conduct workshops to people from all over the place. Meeting new people, I shared my hobby and passion with them. What amazed me most was that I have the chance to not only share my hobby, but also to encourage people with the word of God. In every workshop, I was moved by the Holy Spirit to not only share the techniques of doing calligraphy, it gave me strength to share the word of God, be it in the form of writing Bible verse with my fellow students, or to share a short thanksgiving & encouragement message to them during the pandemic period. The feedback was good, I felt God's presence every time I conduct the workshop. God has given me a chance to not only connect with people from all over the place but also build new friendships, so that I can share His words through what I do, that they can come to know God a little by little each day. I praise God because conducting workshops online was something that I never thought of doing at all, but by God's help, I was able to learn new things, connect with people, share His love. God is always wonderful, and I believe that in every difficulty or challenge, or even the tiniest thing that makes us feel weak or frail, God's love and guidance will be there to help us. May this season be a season for all of us to seek Him more, to grow closer and have an even more intimate relationship with Him, who loves us so deeply. With a thankful heart, I am writing this. Amen.
