感謝主賜平安喜樂	
	曹金菊華姊妹蒙恩見証分享(一)
耶和華有憐憫,有恩典,不輕易發怒,且有豐盛的慈愛。他不長久責備,也不永遠懷怒。他沒有按我們的罪過待我們,也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。(詩篇一○三:八至十)	

	我在一九四八年出生於中國江蘇省,自小是在農村長大。因我爸爸是個裁縫師,但當時裁縫行業的收入,也難以維持一家的生活。在無奈和無選擇的情況下,祇得和一班稱兄道弟的鄉親們一起來到香港尋找工作和出路,但當時的香港社會想要找一工半職,實在是不容易,所以父親祇得拋棄家庭,把妻子和兒女留在鄉裡,獨自來到香港尋找工作,等到父親在香港有了落腳地,安頓下來就接我媽媽去香港與我爸爸團聚。	
	當時我只有六歲,父母便不在身邊,於是便和我祖父母、大姐、哥哥,還有我的大伯伯的三個孩子一起生活。因我的大伯伯英年早逝,所以我的伯娘不可能一個人帶著六個小孩,又要兼顧工作,所以祇好分配寄養。然而在我父母離開鄉間之前,已把房屋整頓好,然後才請我的祖父母看顧我們三兄妹,而且我父母保証ㄧ直養到我祖父母終老,並且每個月按時寄生活費給我祖父母。		
	到我九歲那年,哥哥和姐姐相繼也被我父母接去香港,惟獨留下我伴祖父母終老。但祖母不是我的親生祖母,是繼祖母,她不喜歡我.對我非常刻薄,她認為她是長輩.我是小孩,她高高在上,惟我獨尊,祖母看我是孩子,而她是大人從來不會與我講話,對我講話,一是命令,二是責罵;常常不是打便是罵。我很怕她,總是想討她歡心,使她開心,但是無論我做得多麼努力,她對我的刻薄和討厭,毫無改變,不但不會顧及我生理和心理的需求,更加不會顧及我的感受,遭受她的橫蠻毒打,已是家常便飯。	
	有一次,祖母出門之前,曾撫摸過我們家養的一隻雞,認為當日牠一定會下蛋。晚上她回到了家,卻找不到那隻蛋,便冤枉我偷吃了那隻蛋。我根本沒有吃,自然就不承認,她便毒打逼供,不給我吃晚飯,還將我綁在對著大門口天井的柱子上示眾和羞辱,作為懲罰,就像我是犯了什麼滔天大罪似的。	
	她追問我吃了蛋的蛋殼放在哪裡?結果毒打成招,不過招的是假口供,因我根本無吃過蛋,何來有蛋殼?那時,童心天真單純,心想:「我家門前有條小溪.如果我說把蛋殼扔在小溪裡,我又怕她去找,找不到又怕會再遭毒打。若是扔在大河裡,她便沒法找了。」於是,我便說:「我已經把蛋殼扔在大河裡了。」若是小孩子真的偷吃了一隻蛋,用得著這樣小題大做嗎?孩子餓成這樣,還沒有煮熟的蛋都要吃,心痛都來不及,還會捨得這樣毒打嗎?這祇是其中發生的一件事而已,還有許多許多例子,難以列舉。	
	祖母有很多契仔契女,她都會熱情招待他們,供食供住。她總是對人說:「阿菊年紀小,不需要吃些什麼,將來有得吃。」她說得對,我一生所吃過的東西,有些連名稱她也從沒聽過。但她又害怕我會生病,又怕我會病死,然後會怕斷了她的長糧,她心裡害怕我死了之後,我的父母不再匯錢給她。村民看在眼裡敢怒不敢言,於是就把我苦不堪言的情況寫信給我媽媽,讓她知道不能把我留在鄉下,要申請我去香港。在鄉親的扶助下,十六歲便去了香港。	
	到了香港之後,國內便發生文化大革命.我便逃過一劫。我的故事是否有點像聖經《創世記》第三十七章裡的約瑟呢?因祖母的惡行,我因禍得福,雖然不像約瑟後來那麼飛黃騰達!感謝主的憐憫,坎坷的成長期,並沒有給我做成日後的負面影響,我一點都沒有怨恨祖母,心中祇想到我可以賺錢孝敬她,讓她感受曾經被她虐待過的人,會對她這樣好。可惜我沒有機會這樣做,因為當我賺到一些金錢時,她已不在人世,正如耶穌所說她所做的她不知道,如果她真懂得這樣做,是傷害別人,她也不會這樣做。因為她是文盲,也缺乏正面的教育。	
	如果我祖母還在世的話,第一件事我要做的,就是要修復與她之間破碎的關係,因為耶穌愛我這不完全的人,那麼我又為何要計較祖母對我做些什麼呢?我會將父神和耶穌基督完全的愛和救贖福音傳給她,將她帶到神的跟前,讓她得到神完全的愛,可惜這祇係我的夢想而已,我真想對她講一句:「嬤嬤我愛您,耶穌更愛您。」但我知道不再有這機會。有一次,回鄉探親,我便到處尋找,在她的墳墓上,獻上一束鮮花,這是我對祖母惟一可做的事了。	
	雖然沒有迷信或是去拜過什麼神,但心裡總是有一種說不出的恐懼感。在我們鄉下農村的習俗,一般人過世了,通常會把遺體放在大門的門板上。當我還是小孩時候,心裏十分好奇,又想要去看個究竟,但是回家後,又驚慌又害怕,尤其是我祖父母的棺木,都放在家裡,上面蓋上麻布袋。那棺木是塗上黑色油漆,當要如廁時,必定要經過那棺木擺放的地方,才能通到那小屋內用廁,心裏的那種恐懼真是無法形容。	
	移民去了香港,偶有親友去世,雖然害怕去殯儀館,但是很無奈必須參加喪禮,可是每次在殯儀館內,都不敢單獨去乘搭電梯或去洗手間。每當去醫院探望病人時,也是如此。有時在街上碰見靈車或是看見死了的動物,無論是一隻貓、一隻狗或是一隻雀鳥,心裡面就會有一種不舒服的感覺,整天提心吊膽,擔心所見的那些景像,都是不吉利的預兆。甚至有時眼皮跳動也會害怕,心裡總是沒有平安,心想不知道會有什麼不好的事情,將會發生在我的身上。	
	在一九九○年我和兒子移民美國。我是一位單身母親,既要為工作奔波勞碌,又害怕兒子學壞,真是心力交瘁。自從他去基督教會,相信了主耶穌後,他向我傳福音.勸我信耶穌。頭腦上知道教會是一個好地方,教人學好,但我卻不知道信主是什麼意思?但是看到我兒子去教會後,能夠認識到一群年紀與他相仿的年青人,我便很放心,不再擔心他學壞,但自己始終不願意相信耶穌。	
	後來,經過兒子和教會的弟兄姊妹們,多次給我傳福音和好言相勸我信耶穌基督,心裡想:「信耶穌一定有好處,否則怎麼會有這麼多人相信?我也看到很多信耶穌的人,他們的學歷高、知識廣、職業高尚,對聖經又有深入研究,都會去信耶穌,難道他們都是傻瓜嗎?我這個自幼生長在農村,小學還未畢業的婦人,難道會比別人強嗎?比他們都聰明嗎?」	
	內心常常在掙紮自問,最後終於謙卑下來。感謝主!祂揀選了我這卑賤的人,作為祂的女兒,這身份是何等的高貴。若不是神的憐憫,我何以配得?在二○○○年的復活節,我決志信主,正式宣佈受洗,歸入了基督的名下,成為神兒女。哈利路亞!榮耀歸主名!	
	剛開始信主,沒有感覺到自己有什麼不一樣,可是很奇妙,發覺到我以往的恐懼感一掃而空,去殯儀館多到不知其數,還可以到醫院探病,陪伴年長老人,有時在病床旁邊陪伴病人的整個臨終過程;甚至還可以手握手的直到病人安祥地離世為止。我所提到的並不是我的親人,而祇是朋友或主內的姊妹。感到神大大賜福,我可以參加喪禮,送棺木上山,直到下葬,一點兒恐懼也沒有,已經是百無禁忌,心裡覺得很平安。	
	初移民來美國時,我雖然還未認識耶穌,但祂已給了我好多的普及恩典。雨落在義人的地上,也落在不義人的地上,日頭照好人也照歹人,請問空氣、雨水和陽光有分好或歹人去享用嗎?確是人人不可缺少一份的莫大恩典,無論您是否基督徒都不例外,都能享受這一份恩典,稱之為普及恩典。(未完待續)
二○二二年十月一日

    A tiny rainforest country is growing into a petrostate. A US oil company could reap the biggest rewards
    kyberswap
    Guyana’s destiny changed in 2015. US fossil fuel giant Exxon discovered nearly 11 billion barrels of oil in the deep water off the coast of this tiny, rainforested country.

    It was one of the most spectacular oil discoveries of recent decades. By 2019, Exxon and its partners, US oil company Hess and China-headquartered CNOOC, had started producing the fossil fuel.? They now pump around 650,000 barrels of oil a day, with plans to more than double this to 1.3 million by 2027.

    Guyana now has the world’s highest expected oil production growth through 2035.

    This country — sandwiched between Brazil, Venezuela and Suriname — has been hailed as a climate champion for the lush, well-preserved forests that carpet nearly 90% of its land. It is on the path to becoming a petrostate at the same time as the impacts of the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis escalate.

    While the government says environmental protection and an oil industry can go hand-in-hand, and low-income countries must be allowed to exploit their own resources, critics say it’s a dangerous path in a warming world, and the benefits may ultimately skew toward Exxon — not Guyana.
    Since Exxon’s transformative discovery, Guyana’s government has tightly embraced oil as a route to prosperity. In December 2019, then-President David Granger said in a speech, “petroleum resources will be utilized to provide the good life for all … Every Guyanese will benefit.”

    It’s a narrative that has continued under current President Mohamed Irfaan Ali, who says new oil wealth will allow Guyana to develop better infrastructure, healthcare and climate adaptation.

    Mindful wellness challenges
    If you’re the type of person who thrives on challenges and pushing your limits, this doesn’t mean you need to shy away from wellness challenges altogether. But before diving in, take a step back and ask yourself if you’re pursuing the challenge for the right reasons, McGregor said.
    velodrome finance
    Some people want to try these challenges because they believe something is missing from their life, and they’re looking to attain “worth” or receive validation, McGregor noted.

    A good way to assess your motivation is by considering whether the challenge will benefit your health or if it’s about showcasing your accomplishments on social media or some other reason.

    Before trying any new trend, make sure you have the foundation to handle it and be aware of any potential risks, McGregor said.

    For casual runners, this might mean signing up for a 5K but building your endurance gradually while incorporating other strength training exercises into your routine. For more intense challenges, such as a marathon, McGregor encourages people to consult with professionals or a coach who can monitor your progress and condition along the way.

    Focusing on sustainable habits
    Both McGregor and Curran emphasize the importance of fostering sustainable health habits before embarking on more extreme challenges.

    Rather than chasing the idea of being “healthy,” McGregor suggests focusing on actual healthful behaviors and starting small.

    If you’re a highly sedentary person and want to add more movement to your day, try doing lunges while brushing your teeth or taking short walks throughout your typical routine.

    Family affair

    Americans Brittany and Blake Bowen had never even been to Ecuador when in 2021 they decided to move to the South American country with their four children.

    Tired of “long commutes and never enough money” in the US, the Bowens say they love their new Ecuadorian life. “We hope that maybe we’ll have grandkids here one day.”

    Erik and Erin Eagleman moved to Switzerland from Wisconsin with their three children in 2023.

    “It feels safe here,” they tell CNN of their new outdoorsy lifestyle in Basel, close to the borders with France and Germany. Their youngest daughter even walks to elementary school by herself.

    For adventures with your own family, be it weekend breaks or something longer-term, our partners at CNN Underscored, a product review and recommendations guide owned by CNN, have this roundup of the best kids’ luggage sets and bags.

    Starry, starry nights
    For close to 100 years, Michelin stars have been a sign of culinary excellence, awarded only to the great and good.

    Georges Blanc, the world’s longest-standing Michelin-starred restaurant, has boasted a three-star rating since 1981, but this month the Michelin guide announced that the restaurant in eastern France was losing a star.

    More culinary reputations were enhanced this week, when Asia’s 50 best restaurants for 2025 were revealed. The winner was a Bangkok restaurant which is no stranger to garlands, while second and third place went to two Hong Kong eateries.

    You don’t need to go to a heaving metropolis for excellent food, however. A 200-year-old cottage on a remote stretch of Ireland’s Atlantic coast has been given a Michelin star. At the time of awarding, Michelin called it “surely the most rural” of its newest winners.

    New design revealed for Airbus hydrogen plane
    renzo protocol

    In travel news this week: Bhutan’s spectacular new airport, the world’s first 3D-printed train station has been built in Japan, plus new designs for Airbus’ zero-emission aircraft and France’s next-generation high-speed trains.

    Grand designs
    European aerospace giant Airbus has revealed a new design for its upcoming fully electric, hydrogen-powered ZEROe aircraft. powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

    The single-aisle plane now has four engines, rather than six, each powered by their own fuel cell stack.

    The reworked design comes after the news that the ZEROe will be in our skies later than Airbus hoped.

    The plan was to launch a zero-emission aircraft by 2035, but now the next-generation single-aisle aircraft is slated to enter service in the second half of the 2030s.

    Over in Asia, the Himalayan country of Bhutan is building a gloriously Zen-like new airport befitting a nation with its very own happiness index.

    Gelephu International is designed to serve a brand new “mindfulness city,” planned for southern Bhutan, near its border with India.

    In rail travel, Japan has just built the world’s first 3D-printed train station, which took just two and a half hours to construct, according to The Japan Times. That’s even shorter than the whizzy six hours it was projected to take.

    France’s high-speed TGV rail service has revealed its next generation of trains, which will be capable of reaching speeds of up to 320 kilometers an hour (nearly 200 mph).

    The stylish interiors have been causing a stir online, as has the double-decker dining car.

    Finally, work is underway in London on turning a mile-long series of secret World War II tunnels under a tube station into a major new tourist attraction. CNN took a look inside.
