| Dear w376, Thank you for all the memories and blessings that you have given me in Singapore. You certainly make my exchange study entirely different from many others. I believe it's the best present from God to me during my university life. When I was unpacking my luggages, listening to True Worshippers CDs, sharing the video with my parents, I realised how deep is our relationship in God's family, despite of the the short duration. Even my parents can see how much I was cherished by all of you. God has been changing my life since I started to attend church regularly last year. And during the time I was in City Harvest, I had experienced even more His love. Not only I understand more of His words, I also became spiritually stronger. Although seperation with you is a bit sad, I believe it is a new beginning for me to translate my vision that God has given me in Singapore back to Hong Kong. I still remembered the time before I came to Singapore that I was struggling and wondering how to improve my cell group. I didn't really know what could be done to achieve this. However, God had widened my horizon in His kingdom in Singapore that I was impressed by the strong spiritual atmosphere and the vision of cultural mandate in City Harvest. How great would it be if such spiritual revival could be brought to Hong Kong? Now when I return to Hong Kong, I have a strong desire to change, to improve, to excel, for God is whom I would like to serve for life. I know it is not an easy way. Just yesterday I found that my father smoke again. And the feeling is so strong that when I realised that my parents are not Christians yet. I pray to God and cry to Him. I will pray everyday, I will have a strong prayer life to cast out the demon. I know I am weak but strong in prayers. I know God will make a way for His beloved sons and daughters. Friends, lets' pray and grow further and He will make everything possible. Alleluia! | | |
| 畸形夭折有得賠 ING推胎兒保險
(明報)
04月 28日 星期一 05:10AM
【明報專訊】澳洲 安泰(ING)保險公司最近推出嶄新項目,讓孕婦可為腹中胎兒投保,一旦孩子夭折或天生畸形,均可獲得賠償。 先天缺陷最多獲賠36.5萬元
ING的新保險項目對象是16至40歲女性,若她們的嬰孩天生患有唐氏綜合症 、脊柱裂或顎裂,最多可獲5萬澳元(36.5萬港元)賠償;若孕婦妊娠期間因併發症導致嬰兒夭折,可獲1萬澳元賠償(7.3萬港元)。
ING表示,新政策乃迎合社會趨勢與醫療技術發達,「每名婦女
在懷孕期間皆知道風險。目前初為人母的年齡中位數是近31歲,懷孕併發症與嬰孩出現天生缺陷的風險大幅增加。35歲或以上孕婦胎兒夭折率達440分之1,
風險大於年輕孕婦的10000分之一」。不過,新南威爾士省助產士聯合會抨擊這種保險政策,指ING藉對孕婦危言聳聽促銷,因為孕婦實際甚少罹患併發症。

| Psalm 126 (NKJV)
A Song of Ascents. 1 When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” 3 The LORD has done great things for us, And we are glad. 4 Bring back our captivity, O LORD, As the streams in the South. 5 Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. 6 He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him.
整理筆記時, 發現了這詩篇126. 了解詩人更深, 也了解自己更深. 原來如此.
之後上網search 到下面呢篇解釋, 寫得幾好, 頗有思考價值. http://www.diakonia-hk.net/BibleStudy/2003-Psalms2/Psalms2_126.htm

| 喪偶男士 死亡率增5倍 愈年老 結婚愈久 喪偶心碎綜合症更嚴重 (明報)
04月 05日 星期六 05:05AM
【明報專訊】喪偶到底會令人有多心痛欲絕?最近一項研究發現,「喪偶心碎綜合症」的確存在,而且證實男性的「心碎」程度遠比女性嚴重——男性喪妻後死亡率劇增5倍,相比之下,喪夫女性只增加1倍。
這項研究由倫敦卡斯商學院(Cass Business School)進行,研究負責人斯佩烏博士說﹕「我們都知道失去摯愛後,會對生活帶來眦滅性的打擊,今次的研究還顯示失去伴侶會直接提升死亡率,並從統計學上論證人們在喪偶早期真的會傷心至死。」
斯佩烏的研究以加拿大 一間保險公司的11,454份人壽保單為基礎。根據研究,女性在喪偶一年內的死亡率,比沒喪偶的同性高1倍,至於喪偶男性在一年內的死亡率則較沒喪偶的男人增5倍。幸好時間原來確實會慢慢畄淡傷痛,研究報告指出,在喪偶一年後,鰥夫和寡婦的死亡率都會下降。
心理專家說,失去摯愛的人很多時候會染上很多不良嗜好,例如食煙、酗酒以及飲食失衡等,然而令他們死亡率增加的主要成因是心理因素:寂寞難耐,以及隨之而來的心理壓力。
心理學家帕帕祖普洛斯指出﹕「因喪偶而導致的死亡率,在愈年
老、結婚愈久的人身上愈高。」為何鰥夫死亡風險比寡婦高?帕氏的看法是﹕「喪偶對老年男性的日常生活帶來巨變,從前他們可能不需要洗衣服和煮菜。」帕氏指
出,心理壓力會導致免疫力下降,影響健康,那些在喪偶後認為人生無意義和失去希望的人更是高危一族,「任何有這種狀的人,都應該盡快聯絡心理醫生」。 ...「喪偶心碎綜合症」呢個term 好odd... | | |
