Have A Little Faith 03

P82

It is far more comforting to think God listened and said no, than to think that nobody's out there.

或许我们不管多坚强,在内心深处,还是希望有个出口,宣泄自己的压力,或是有个可以分担压力的对象。这个对象可以是家人,朋友,兴趣,宗教。。。只要它能开启自己内心的门就行了。

P86

His voice was always upbeat...It made me ashamed of the way I sometimes answered the phone (a rushed "hello?" as if it was a question I didn't want to ask)...I marveled at how a man who was supposed to be available for so many people could somehow be available for each one of them.

现代生活,步伐快,注重个人主义,造成我们往往只会以自己的角度观察,考量而浑然不知自己忽略了身边的人事物。

P93

A man seeks employment on a farm. He hands his letter of recommendation to his new employer. It reads simply,"He sleeps in a storm."

The owner is desperate for help, so he hires the man.

Several weeks pass, and suddenly, in the middle of the night, a powerful storm rips through the valley.

Awakened by the swirling rain and howling wind, the owner leaps out of bed. He calls for his new hired hand, but the man is sleeping soundly.

So he dashes off to the barn. He sees, to his amazement, that the animals are secure with plenty of feed. He runs out to the field. He sees the bales of wheat have been bound and are wrapped in tarpaulins. He races to the silo. The doors are latched, and the grain is dry.

And then he understands, "He sleeps in a storm."

看了这段故事,只想到四个字:有待无恐。
