Compassion at the dinner table

Compassion at the dinner table


聖誕節，
思考compassion。
這個很動人心的演講。
James Forbes
從幼時的家庭教育談起，
他來自有虔誠信仰的家庭，
家庭中，
家人相互關心，
晚餐，
是分享時刻，
也是家人相關懷的凝聚時刻。
他們一家人不僅彼此關心，
也關係extended families。
"To be family, is to care and share and to look out for one another. They are our family."
照顧孤苦貧病的親戚，
是愛的展現。
Are all the children in? And if we had been faithful in caring and sharing, we had the sense that justice and peace would have a chance in the world.
也要關懷朋友，
*Are all the children in? And if we had been faithful in caring and sharing, we had the sense that justice and peace would have a chance in the world.
*...this is a time where you extend the circle of love. That's what the celebration is all about. It's time to make space, to share the enjoyment of life in a beloved community."
這就是聖誕節的真義。
演講中講述了歷史事件及教會活動，
說出許多compassion的智慧。
*As you would that others would do unto you, do also unto them.
*You must love yourself, you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul, and your neighbor as yourself.
* ...understands the nature of our unity. We are one people together.
在17:53~18:24，
James Forbes唱了喜悅的歌:
17:53 The song says, ♫ "I made heaven so happy today, ♫ ♫ Receiving God's love and giving it away ♫ ♫ When I looked up, heaven smiled at me ♫ ♫ Now, I'm so happy. Can't you see? ♫ ♫ I'm happy. Look at me. I'm happy. Can't you see? ♫ ♫ Sharing makes me happy, makes heaven happy too ♫ ♫ I'm happy. Look at me. I'm happy. Can't you see? ♫ ♫ Let me share my happy loving smile with you. ♫
聖誕快樂!
