惟喜愛耶和華的律法,晝夜思想,這人便為有福。他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁,按時候結果子,葉子也不枯乾;凡他所作的,盡都順利。(詩1:2~3)
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. (Ps.1:2~3)
凡不是永恆的事物,永遠會被時間所淘汰。(吳獻章老師譯)
All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.
一個年歲漸長者的禱告:保守我的心思清明,使我不至於變得囉囉嗦嗦;賜給我翅膀,使我能簡潔扼要地直抵核心。請賜我夠用的恩典,能傾聽別人傷心的故事;幫助我對他們有愛心,但對於我自己的悲哀與痛苦,請常常封住我的嘴唇。
一個年歲漸長者的禱告:請教導我這榮耀的功課,就是我常常有可能是錯的。使我常常很甜美,因為一個酸澀的老婦人是魔鬼的傑作。使我變得體貼,而不會喜怒無常;對人有幫助,而不會蠻橫。
一個年歲漸長者的禱告:對於我所積存的許多智慧,倘若沒有全部派上用場,似乎很可惜;但主啊,你知道我更盼望在我生命末了,我能擁有一些朋友。
