基督化生活――夫妻篇

何谓幸福

她比他小20岁，嫁给他的时候，家乡的人都以为她傍上大款。只有她知道，他到底是一个什么样的男人。

　　他只是一个普通的男人，黑，丑，一口黄牙。媒人当初可没这么说，只说是个过日子的男人，就因为家里穷给耽搁了，一直没找上媳妇。那阵子，没找上媳妇的都去山区找，有四川的、山西的、湖南的……花几千元就可以找来。那男人也托人带一个回来，这就是她，一个死了丈夫的女人。

　　媒人说男人富着呢，靠手艺吃饭。女人因为急于逃离那个家庭，问都没问男人会什么手艺就嫁过来了。过来后才知道，他的手艺就是在外面风吹雨淋地修鞋，再加上男人长得丑陋，让她有种上当的感觉。回去，已无退路，婆家人叫她丧门星，说是她克死了丈夫。

　　再婚后，男人很宠她，隔三岔五给她买些小玩意来，一盒粉饼，一支口红，几串荔枝……她长到30岁，从来没有用过口红，更不用说吃荔枝了，很快，她就觉得自己比杨贵妃还要幸福，吃荔枝的时候，男人不吃，只是傻傻地看着她吃。她说："你也吃。"他说："我不爱吃它，看着你吃我就高兴。"后来，她偶然上街，随口问了一下荔枝的价格，吓一跳，竟然要20元1斤。她的眼睛一下湿润了，他怎么可能不爱吃荔枝?他是舍不得吃呀。

　　她更加疼他，早晨早早起来给他做饭，晚上做好热乎乎的饭菜等他回来；冬天的时候，男人在街上修鞋，一天下来，冻得全身冰冷，女人就把男人的脚放到自己怀里暖着。男人也很知足，说是上辈子修来的福才会娶到她，他为什么50岁还没有结婚，就为等她呗。说得女人心花怒放。

　　女人见男人每天那么累很心疼，她说："给我买台机器吧，我和你一块修鞋去。"
男人不答应，说他挣的钱足够养活她，可女人认真了，偏要去。于是街上总能看到一对老夫少妻在修鞋，两个人紧挨着，有鞋修的时候，两个人就一起动手，空闲时，就有说有笑地聊着。冬天刮大风，女人的手都冻红了，耳朵也冻得青一块紫一块，这时，男人买来一块烤红薯，红薯散发着诱人的香味。男人剥开，用嘴吹着，却不吃，他把红薯放到女人嘴边，女人幸福地咬一口，又吹一吹，让男人吃。他们一人一口地吃着，好像享受一顿美食，好像吃着爱情的圣餐。

　　有一天，男人对女人说："总有一天，我会走在你前面。"女人就哭了，说："那我和你一起去。"

　　男人说："不行!"然后男人又说："我们现在的钱还不是很多，再挣几年，给你养老应该没问题。还有，我给你在地里种了500棵树，等有一天我去了，你也不能动了，那500棵树也长大了，我相信它们能够养活你。"

　　女人扑到男人怀里哭了。500棵树，那只是500棵树吗?这一辈子从没有人替她这样想过，可这个男人甚至为她想到老年，她觉得这辈子真是值了。现在城里人兴什么夫妻树、爱情树，而她的男人给她种的树要比那些树珍贵一万倍，那是一片夫妻同心树。

CBC News: Blog reading becomes a habit, study says

I just came across this news article, and have a strong urge to share the news with you. It was pamphlet, newspaper, magazine, TV/Video, or radio that we used as a media to share the Gospel. What is the new favourite media our readers would go nowadays?  =>  BLOG

 

Quite a lot of bro/sis already started to use internet as the media in the past decade. The blog era started to get popular a few years ago, and its popularity seems to get more and more readers. Really pray that more and more bro/sis would find a way in their blog to share their faith and testimony with their friends.

How Not to Get Baby to Sleep

Full Article, click here.

According to Simard's study, children whose parents fed them when they woke up in the middle of the night at age three were more likely to have nightmares and short sleep times at age four.

Babies who grew accustomed to falling asleep with a parent in the room, being held until they fell asleep, or being taken into a parent's bed when they couldn't sleep were also more likely as older children to have trouble falling asleep and to sleep fewer hours during the night.

"Co-sleeping with the child does not seem to be a good solution for comforting a child after night awakenings," Simard says. But that doesn't mean that children should be left to wail endlessly, or that parents should never console them. "It might be appropriate to be present in the room, comforting the child for a short time," Simard says. But it's most important "to let the child develop a capacity to comfort himself on his own."

The risk for obesity was exacerbated by TV watching: 17% of children who slept fewer than 12 hours per night and watched two or more hours of television a day before age 2 were obese by age 3, compared with 9% of the study participants overall.

These findings are the latest in a growing field of study dedicated to understanding how sleep affects health, particularly in childhood. Increasingly, research suggests that long-term sleep-related problems may start as early as infancy, and that both pediatricians and parents need to do more to ensure that children develop healthy sleeping habits. "The most important message is that there's a lot we can do to prevent problems from starting — in sleep," says Taveras. "Parents and pediatricians should keep in mind that children have to develop the capacity to regulate their own sleep early in life and self-soothe themselves during the night."

The Investment Banker and the Fisherman

The Investment Banker and the Fisherman
Origin Unknown

An investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal village when a small
boat with just one fisherman docked.

Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The banker
complimented the fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it
took to catch them.

The fisherman replied, "Only a little while."

The banker then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more fish?"

The fisherman said, "With this I have more than enough to support my
family's needs."

The banker then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

The fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, go
for walks with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip
wine and play guitar with my friends. As you can see, I have a full and busy
life."

The banker scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend
more time fishing; and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat! With the
proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats. Eventually you
would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a
middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your
own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You
would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to the
capital city. After that, who knows, maybe you could take on the world!"

The fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?"

To which the banker replied, "I'd say about 15 to 20 years."

"But what then?" asked the fisherman.

The Banker laughed and said, "That's the best part! When the time is right,
you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and
become very rich, you would make millions."

"Millions?...Then what?" the fisherman continued prodding.

The banker said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing
village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, go
for romantic walks with your wife, and in the evenings you could sip wine,
play guitar and sing songs with your friends!"

To which the fisherman mused, "Now isn't that strange. Isn't that what I'm
doing now?"
