嗯,不錯,嚐了自己精心熬出的青菜湯: 胡蘿蔔、高麗菜、玉米、青豆、青崗菜… 瞧瞧冰箱裡還有什麼可放的?
咦,怎麼有個塑膠袋?裡頭擱了: 小南瓜、洋蔥、紅椒、胡蘿蔔各一,兩根蘆筍。 該不是沙塵豹買來,好在體檢前,補充些營養? 我不解的將兩根蘆筍洗洗切下,又放了半顆洋蔥。 材料不少,凡是能找到的幾乎都放了,夠營養吧!
晚上, 正自得意看著他喝營養湯, 忽聞小女兒大聲嚷嚷聲: 我畫畫的菜怎麼不見了? 媽!那些是我畫畫用的! 怎麼煮了!妳洗過了嗎?
畫畫的菜? 對啊,我怎麼沒想到: 誰買菜只買兩根小蘆筍、一根胡蘿蔔…的?
鬧了半天,才知道小女兒因為十二年級事情不少,一下子合唱團旅行演唱,一下子AP考試,一下子這,一下子那的…畫畫老師通融,讓她的畫作可以晚一個禮拜交。這次靜物畫的素材已經用得夠久了,下課後老師順手就丟進垃圾桶;我那還沒畫完畫的寶貝女兒,趕緊又從垃圾桶裡撿回家。
哪料到,老媽拿去煮湯了!
只好到超級市場買來新鮮蘆筍、洋蔥補救。 一禮拜後,女兒終於在母親節晚上畫完畫。 這幅就是我取名「歴盡滄桑」的偉大畫作!
女兒向我的好友告狀。 好友居然對我說: 只有妳會做出這種事!
/瀟碧 5. 16. 2007 ……………………… 這首“He Never Failed Me Yet”是小女兒學校合唱團The Abundant Life Singers春季巡迴演唱,在洛杉磯「流浪者之家」(the Los Angeles Rescue Mission)那場錄製的。 聽到這群十七、八歲年輕人,在這是非不分、道德淪喪的美國大環境中,仍堅持自己的信仰,我就覺得這首現代聖樂挺悅耳的。 ……………………………….. “He Never Failed Me Yet” (Chorus) I will sing of God's mercy Every day, every hour, He gives me power I will sing and give thanks to Thee For all the dangers, toils, and snares that He has brought me out He is my God and I will serve Him
No matter what the test
Trust and never doubt, Jesus will surely bring you out He never failed me yet ( X 2 )
(V 1) I know God is able to deliver in time of storm. I know that He'll keep you safe from all earthly harm.
One day when my weary soul's at rest, I'm going home to be forever blessed.
Trust and never doubt, Jesus will surely bring you out, He's never failed me yet.
(chorus) (V 2) Didn't my God deliver Moses from King Pharaoh? And didn't He cool the fiery furnace from Shadrach, Meshach and Abendego?
When I think of what my God can do He delivered Daniel and he'll deliver you.
Trust and never doubt, Jesus will surely bring you out, He's never failed me yet.
(Chorus) He never failed me, He never failed me yet (repeat forever)
Trust and never doubt, Jesus will surely bring you out He's never failed me yet. |
