幸福

        自古有云：「幸福不是必然的。」故此，當它在你身邊時，就要好好珍惜。幸福很多時都出現在微小的事情上，如：好友的一個來電，家人的團聚或是父母給與的額外零用等，其實已經是非常幸福了。

        筆者一向都覺得自己很幸福，尤其是去年暑假到了外蒙古沙維豪青年中心之後，我感到的幸福實在是超出了自己以前所認知的。自去年八月至今，我已透過百多篇文章跟大家分享有關當地的孩子的生活經驗，每次當我回憶起跟他們一起生活的時光時，那一股不能言喻的幸福又再湧上心頭。這不但令我充滿幹勁地寫下去，同時，我亦時常感覺到他們陪伴著我陪伴著他們。這種不平凡的幸福，對我來說，的確是一分額外的收穫。

        在這八九個月以來，我衷心地感謝各讀者的支持，希望你們在閱讀這些文章的同時，都能感受到我和孩子的幸福。現在，我正準備下一個「旅程」，故此要暫別各位一段時間，希望下一次再有機會再寫時，各位能繼續支持。若果大家想知道他們的最新動向，請密切留意梁神父的部落格www.xanga.com/faafa 。若想回味我的分享或推薦給朋友的話，可按每頁的右下角“older”即可。當然，我更希望下一次跟大家分享幸福的是你，你願意嗎？

童心(二)

        透過跟他們一起生活，一起遊戲，我終於明白到遊戲對孩子是何等重要啊。一個好的遊戲，的確可以把他們內在的潛能受發揮得淋漓盡致，而這個成果是難以從其他活動中得到的。

        在夏季時，我大多跟他們大夥兒一起玩，所以並沒有體會到遊戲對他們的影響有多大。但是在冬日的一次遊戲日中，我卻以第三者的身份，冷眼旁觀地解構出他們在遊戲中的表現。我本以為他們為求勝出，必定會你爭我奪，誓不相讓。但最後我發覺這時我實在是太聰明了。

        原來孩子的精力是可以如此集中的。他們四人一組，手繫著兩條尼龍繩。中心處便形成了一個「井」字。當四人共同用力時，中心的交匯處便成了一個穩固的台階，把籃球置於其上。但是最具挑戰性的是四人必須合力把球帶往附近的水桶內，當中若有人稍一不僅，整個行動便會前功盡棄。我見他們小心翼翼，一步一步地移送到落球位置。但有時卻未必一次便能成功，當中途失手時，他們便集中一起，再度相議，找出新方案後，再以步步為營的心態，逐一把計劃實踐出來。透過這個經驗，我不能不說一聲：孩子，多謝你們教曉了我很多。

C)     Experience in Mongolia

I arrived at Mongolia on 21^st Oct, 2008 and was picked up by my rector, Fr. Paul Leung to Savio Children’s Home in Amgalang on the following day.  In this community, we have 26 children who have different backgrounds.  They are either out of contact with their parents or came from the street and very poor families.

I didn’t feel very easy to due with them at the beginning of my missionary life.  I got a message from Exodus which said, “ Remove the sandals from your feets, for the place where you stand is holy ground.”  Take off my shoes as the place we are standing on is holy.  Sometimes, we may easily forget that God has already here before we arrived.  Being a missionary, I understand that I should enter deeply to people’s culture, tradition as well as the practice of life.  God create us and we are just an instrument of Him.  Our works should glorify God and show His love to people.  We should try our best and He will do the rest.  Under this circumstance, I aware that it is not easy for a person who is too proud of himself, emotional, target oriented or unconscious.  Therefore, I always pray for my intention to be here is to fulfill God’s will instead of mine.  I try my best to understand the culture and also the life style of Mongolian.  Therefore, I keep on learning their language as it is one of the best ways to communicate with them directly.  Recently, I had an experience to know what is Sakhansar (the New Year of Mongolia) and had a chance to visit the country side.  It gave me a clear picture about Mongolian.  They are very friendly, respective, simple and with a strong sense of family spirit. 

In Savio Children’s Home, I feel that life is beautiful as I can see children turn their hearts and mind better and better daily.  I am sure they can become as good as St. Savio even they look like Maggone in this moment.  ( They represents the good boy and the bad one in the youth centre of Don Bosco)
