一年之計在於神 - 規劃一年的工具 (a tool for formulating resolution for the new year)

惟恩寶寶,讓爸爸跟你分享一下,
你成長後應該怎樣規劃你的生命、分配你的時間

『沒有異象,民就放肆』(箴言 29:18)
同樣,沒有好好規劃的人生,
只會按著肉體的喜好隨心所欲;
按著世俗的觀念隨波逐流;
按著朋輩的壓力盲從附和,
定好了清晰的目標、計劃,
我們才可以在人來人往中保持清醒,
行在上帝所喜悅的路上。

先跟你分享一篇有內涵的文章

Once, when the people of God had become careless in their relationship with Him, the Lord rebuked them through the prophet Haggai. "Consider your ways!" (Haggai 1:5) 現在萬軍之耶和華這樣說:“你們要反省自己的行為。 (哈該書 1:5) he declared, urging them to reflect on some of the things happening to them, and to evaluate their slipshod spirituality (懶散的屬靈狀態) in light of what God had told them.

Even those most faithful to God occasionally need to pause and think about the direction of their lives. It's so easy to bump along (顛簸而行) from one busy week to another without ever stopping to ponder where we're going and where we should be going.

The beginning of a new year is an ideal time to stop, look up, and get our bearings. To that end, here are some questions to ask prayerfully in the presence of God.

  1. What's one thing you could do this year to increase your enjoyment of God?
    (我今年可以做什麼而讓自己更懂得以 神為樂?)
  2. What's the most humanly impossible thing you will ask God to do this year?
    (我可以求問 神一件在人看來是不可能的事呢?)
  3. What's the single most important thing you could do to improve the quality of your family life this year?
    (我可以做什麼事以致可以改善家庭的生活質素呢?)
  4. In which spiritual discipline do you most want to make progress this year, and what will you do about it?
    (在屬靈上的持久操練上,我最想要什麼進展? 我打算怎樣做呢?)
  5. What is the single biggest time-waster in your life, and what will you do about it this year?
    (是什麼事情最浪費、虛耗我們的時間呢? 我打算怎樣做呢?)
  6. What is the most helpful new way you could strengthen your church?
    (我可以在哪一方面盡我所能,以建立教會?)
  7. For whose salvation will you pray most fervently this year?
    (我打算為哪些還未認識福音的人懇切地禱告,讓她/他們能夠認識福音、明白福音、接受主耶穌基督為她/他們生命的救主呢?)
  8. What's the most important way you will, by God's grace, try to make this year different from last year?
    (靠著上帝的恩典,我可以怎樣做,使今年跟往年有所不同? 如:不斷更新而變化、成聖需要工夫......)
  9. What one thing could you do to improve your prayer life this year?
    (我可以怎樣做來使我的禱告生活更上一層樓?)
  10. What single thing that you plan to do this year will matter most in ten years? In eternity?
    (我在今年可以計劃一件什麼的事情、做什麼決定,以致從打後的十年及永恆的角度回看時,也視為重要的?)

    In addition to these ten questions, here are twenty-one more to help you "Consider your ways." Think on the entire list at one sitting, or answer one question each day for a month.
  11. What's the most important decision you need to make this year?
  12. What area of your life most needs simplifying, and what's one way you could simplify in that area?
  13. What's the most important need you feel burdened to meet this year?
  14. What habit would you most like to establish this year?
  15. Who is the person you most want to encourage this year?
  16. What is your most important financial goal this year, and what is the most important step you can take toward achieving it?
  17. What's the single most important thing you could do to improve the quality of your work life this year?
  18. What's one new way you could be a blessing to your pastor (or to another who ministers to you) this year?
  19. What's one thing you could do this year to enrich the spiritual legacy you will leave to your children and grandchildren?
  20. What book, in addition to the Bible, do you most want to read this year?
  21. What one thing do you most regret about last year, and what will you do about it this year?
  22. What single blessing from God do you want to seek most earnestly this year?
  23. In what area of your life do you most need growth, and what will you do about it this year?
  24. What's the most important trip you want to take this year?
  25. What skill do you most want to learn or improve this year?
  26. To what need or ministry will you try to give an unprecedented amount this year?
  27. What's the single most important thing you could do to improve the quality of your commute this year?
  28. What one biblical doctrine do you most want to understand better this year, and what will you do about it?
  29. If those who know you best gave you one piece of advice, what would they say? Would they be right? What will you do about it?
  30. What's the most important new item you want to buy this year?
In what area of your life do you most need change, and what will you do about it this year?

惟恩,您若看到這裡的時候,您已經不是小朋友了,以下還有一個以Excel制作的年曆、月曆、日曆、讓您具體地把心中所想的,形象化地表達出來,亦附有一些基本的基督徒生命成長的元素、不同的生活環節的安排,讓您可以檢視自己的生活 -- 什麼地方可以改善、精益求精; 什麼地方是無聊、無謂、無益、虛耗光陰的,便要砍除,還有,這只是一個模板,您可不斷地創新當中的內容,只要是上帝所喜悅的事情、叫自己及別人的生命得以建立的事情、叫上帝的名被高舉的事情,便放膽去做吧!

雖然,不知道您長大後,會否跟我們一樣去接受主耶穌基督為您生命的救主,畢竟上帝給每個人都有獨立的自由意志,我們不可以、也沒有能力去左右您對生命的取向,但是,我們的責任是將領受到的真理、從上而來的愛,傾流給您,並『教養您走您當行的路,就是到老,也不會偏離(上帝的道)。』(箴言 22:6)

關於我自己

Toronto, Ontario, Canada
一顆期盼著生命來臨的心 - 新生命是天父所賜最好的禮物,怎樣迎接著他/她的來臨,應該抱著什麼的心情? 一個與主耶穌基督離世升天復活前同齡的信徒、一個深信藉著十字架的愛才可以化解人間的怨仇、一個飽歷滄桑但仍相信『四海之內皆兄弟』、不斷學習『愛人如己』的赤子、一個正期盼著BB出生的準父親...... (以上寫於2007年8月)(以下是寫於2009年12月27日) 從少在天主教背景長大、熟悉聖經、天主教教會的禮儀、規條、教義、可能是未曾遇上一個值得敬重的天主教徒的同學或老師,因緣際會下,中七時在一基督教宣道會的『彩虹佈道會』中、茅塞頓開、明白到『因信稱義』的道理,便毅然決志信主、從此跟隨耶穌基督、立志將信仰跟生活融合(fuse / integrate)起來、樂意跟渴望真理的人分享真道、讓更多人明白福音、體驗基督的愛。 亦曾在年輕時深入虎穴,在一間主流基督教視為異端的教會聚會、跟那些談吐斯文、熱心傳道的年青長老研究、交流、並參與他們教會的核數工作、對他們的行政、財政、佈道策略瞭如指掌。 最近開始探索伊斯蘭的教義,碰巧新來的外傭是虔誠的穆斯林,更加可以知己知彼。 此博客的寫作及資料分享的動力來源... 其一是跟別人分享自己認為是優良、叫人得造就、建立的資訊,而亦是自己資料搜集的平台,自己在分享過程中及在其他博客的回饋意見及交流中,不斷的更新及豐富自己的學識及內涵... 其二是給惟恩寶寶一步一步地灌輸我們認為正確的、以聖經為本的價值觀、道德觀、宇宙觀,讓寶寶在愛及真理中成長,以致她長大多一點、懂得獨立思考的時候,可以自己選擇一條正路,畢竟每個人都被賦與自由意志,跟隨耶穌基督與否是個人的選擇,萬一在寶寶成長的中途、我們作父母的突然猝死(在每晚睡著之前,誰有絕對的把握 -- 翌日早晨的時候,心仍然在跳動、還有明天的生命氣息?),寶寶也可以明白父母的心意... 其三是因為互聯網的『無遠弗屆』,希望在天家的母親、外婆、外公,也可以知道我們在地上的近況。 其四是讓寶寶在長大後,可以回望小時候的成長片段。 其五是在分享教養孩童的生活片段、成長點滴的時候,當中必定是喜樂多於憂愁的,雖然實踐、學習無條件的愛時,必定要付上代價,但希望在分享中,叫一些活在愁煩中的家長改變過來,以喜樂的心去造就一個愛的環境給他/她們的寶寶成長,在那個環境下,沒有寶寶是被忽略、被遺棄、被掌控... 卻是被愛惜、被接納、被啟蒙,在愛中建立自己。
