足球

足球,
一個小小的皮球,
這個世界到底怎樣看它?

它在小孩的腳下可能是一個玩意兒,
它在大人的眼中可能是一項運動, 一種消遣, 一個電視節目, 甚至是件生財工具.
又可能, 對某些人們來說, 它只是一個小小的皮球.

但它真的只是一個玩意兒, 一項運動, 一種消遣, 一個電視節目, 一件生財工具, 或一個小小的皮球嗎?

它會把人們拉在一起,
兩個人, 十個人, 廿個人, 五十, 一百, 一千, 一萬個人, 甚至國家拉在一起,
它為人們打破地域, 語言, 膚色, 文化, 政見, 黨派的隔膜,
在這紛爭處處的世代,
給人們提供一個能互相競技卻又能和平共全的空間,
一個單純的, 沒有詭詐的, 以技倆較勁的美麗空間.

縱使它一生在人們腳下在泥濘中打滾,
縱使人們不斷利用它, 做出很多與它理想背道而馳的事;
它仍然給我們機會去互相認識, 互相了解, 互相接納,
給我們帶來夢想,
帶來希望和盼望,
它, 是個皮球, 也是個英雄呢!

看來你在 Oikos 的學習沒有白費,
能藉一個小皮球反省人生。

其實是幾位牧者教導有方 ^^

Verloren:
God is always there for you. He loves all of us...so no problem ^^ and...if you have a bible, read Matthew 11:28-30, these phrases help me a lot when I have worries.
(or you can read on-line bible: o-bible.com)

And yes, some of my friends say I am sentimental ^^ (but only a few know that...coz I am crazy/funny guy ^Q^)
