Celebration of the Father

“Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem. They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened. While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them. But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?” One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?” He said to them, “Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?” Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?” They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them, saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”” (Luke‬ ‭24:13-18, 25-27, 32-34‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Did you ever wonder why out of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, only one of them was named while the other remained anonymous?

Therefore, I believe that the name “Cleopas” is crucial to understanding the significance of this passage.

Cleopas is an abbreviated form of the name Cleopatros, made of the two Greek words “kleos” (to celebrate) and pater (father). Cleopas means “celebration of the father”.

Let us see what Jesus did in the passage. He told the two discouraged disciples all about the things concerning Himself in the Old Testament Scriptures, and how He fulfilled them all at the cross.

It was a celebration of the Father, praising Him for His glorious plan of salvation that was once hidden and is now revealed through the prophets, apostles, and the other writers of the Scriptures.

When Jesus celebrated the Father with the two disciples, their hearts “burned”, likely with faith, hope, and love in response to the love and grace of God. They experienced an “Emmaus” (meaning: hot springs) in their hearts, washing away the unbelief and refreshing their spirits.

They were no longer depressed and despondent. Instead, they were filled with hope, and energized in their bodies and souls. Having just walked a long way from Jerusalem to Emmaus, they immediately set off on a journey back to announce the good news they had seen and heard.

This world needs “Cleopas”—a celebration of the Father. They need to hear about a Father God who is gracious and full of love, who freely offers salvation through Jesus Christ His Son. They need to hear that He wants to be a Father near to them and not a Judge far off; that He is reconciling the world to Himself through Jesus, welcoming them home.

“But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:18-21‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Anytime you are feeling down, you can initiate a celebration of the Father. It will cleanse you from unbelief, refresh your spirit, fill your heart with hope, and energize your body and soul!

Enjoy Happiness Now

“Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.” (Philippians‬ ‭4:11-13‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Don’t postpone your happiness to the future.

“When I am rich, I will be happy.” Really? King Solomon is by today’s standards a trillionaire and he was not happy. Read about it in the Book of Ecclesiastes. He indulged in every worldly comfort and pleasure possible, and yet he concluded that it was all vanity of vanities, grasping after the wind.

Happiness is not about being rich or poor. It is about having Christ in you and with you.

“This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.” (John‬ ‭17:3‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

As a believer, you know God not as a distant person, but a good Father who loves you and is on your side. To the world who does not know Him, He is still the Judge who punishes the wicked. They do not have the kind of relationship that we enjoy with Him.

Start enjoying your relationship with Abba God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit today. You can pray, and God will show you amazing truths, advice for the future, and help you with whatever you need.

A life without God is an empty life, like always eating but never being able to satisfy that hunger.

When you have Jesus as Lord, you have the Bread of Life, the living bread from Heaven to feed on. His words in the Scriptures, the Lord’s Supper, are true food that nourish you in many ways.

Perhaps happiness is having an unlimited supply of this heavenly food, so that your spiritual hunger is satisfied!

If you want to know God’s heart for you, you can study the 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ in “Messiah’s Miracles”. As we look at each of the miracles that were recorded in the four gospels, you will know Abba God better by seeing what Jesus does. Jesus did nothing without first seeing His Father do it—they have the same nature and work perfectly in sync. This is a read that I’m sure you will enjoy: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

The Impossible Exam

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans‬ ‭8:1-4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

There was once a teacher who punished his badly-behaved class of students by giving them an examination full of the world’s hardest questions spanning across all subjects and disciplines.

“Class, if any of you want to be dismissed from class, you must get full marks in this exam. If not, you will have to stay back for detention every day. To give you all an advantage, you may discuss the questions with your fellow classmates.”

Everyone in the class attempted the exam, but even the smartest students had many mistakes. It seemed impossible.

The classmates were all frantically flipping through all the textbooks in the classroom, but it was no use. The questions were just way out of their level.

Just when it seemed that all hope was lost, the teacher said, “Class, I see that you are all trying your very best to work together to do well on the exam. Tell you what—I cannot cancel the exam, but I will join your class as a student and attempt the exam with you. There is no rule against me joining as a student in your class.”

Since the teacher had set the exam based on the knowledge he had, he easily answered all the questions correctly. To whoever wanted to refer to his answers, the teacher allowed them to see and write the same answers.

The students were all overjoyed. One by one, they copied the answers, and handed in their exam papers, scoring full marks. They were finally able to go home. They had learnt their lesson, and decided to be more studious in the future.

——

God gave the children of Israel the Ten Commandments—an impossible exam for mankind. The Law is perfect, holy, and good, but it was weak through man’s sinful flesh.

Whoever wants to be justified through the Law must keep the Ten Commandments perfectly in both word and deed. Anything short of perfection is considered unrighteous. Everyone fails this exam.

Then, God revealed His master plan: Yahweh the Son became a man to take the impossible exam on our behalf.

He lived a sinless life for thirty-three and a half years, and offered up Himself as our atoning sacrifice for sins. The blood He shed at the cross and His death perfectly fulfilled the Law for everyone.

Whoever wants to refer to His answers can just take His answers as their own and get full marks on their exam. When we place our faith in Jesus as Lord, we share in Jesus’ death, resurrection, and become a new creation in Christ. We are finally eligible to go home to our Abba God in Heaven!

It takes humility for a person to admit that he is a sinner that has no hope of deserving salvation by his own works. God is so holy that even one sinful thought can make you unrighteous. Perfection is needed. The way to be saved is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord!

大家中秋節快樂！
之前在Totoro IG有提到過Totoro生病了。
媽媽其實在今年過年的時候就剪了影片想記錄這件事，
沒想到一拖就拖到現在了。
這幾天終於增增減減上字幕做出了這個影片，當作個小紀錄吧！
Totoro生病的來龍去脈紀錄如下(文章超級長XD)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Totoro在去年10月底確診了腎衰竭。
他在去年9月底的時候先是精神不好，體重下降，水喝異常多，沒多久右腳莫名的腫起來，但是完全沒有外傷。
因為腫起的右腳有戴腳環，醫生和我們一開始都懷疑是不是在哪邊勾到拉扯到造成的，先做了基礎糞檢後吃藥觀察。
之後雖然他精神好轉了，但腳還是一直沒有好，甚至開始長出一顆小白點。
最後在醫生建議下做了抽血檢查，並對小白點做細針採樣。
結果出來，他的尿酸指數飆高到正常值的五倍多，小白點檢驗結果是尿酸的結晶，確診為腎衰竭。醫生說，看過這麼多玄鳳都很難看到一隻有這麼誇張的尿酸指數。
原來他的右腳無外傷莫名腫起，是尿酸堆積造成的痛風。
我們不停的想，是什麼原因造成的呢？

和醫生討論後，原因可能是因為他一直無法斷奶，主食一直以來都是靠人工餵鳥奶粉。而一般鳥奶粉是幼鳥用，蛋白質含量較高，長期下來對腎臟造成負擔。

他為什麼無法斷奶呢？
這個也是快五年以來一直困擾著我們的問題。他小時候一個月大左右，曾經生病不吃飯，體重只剩下瀕危的50幾克。那時媽媽先咬牙學著用軟管少量多餐灌食維持營養，甚至半夜都要爬起來餵，慢慢的讓他胖到70多克，精神體力也好很多。
當他看似恢復健康有精神，我們想讓他自己開始學吃時，卻發現他的體重會無法維持。每當掉到66克左右像是病鳥的體重，我們就不敢再繼續嘗試下去，而把奶量加回來，他的體重也才回升。
找了愛吃鬼同伴吃的津津有味給他看也沒用﹙望向咕嘰快100g的胸肌…﹚，只要我們想嘗試減量，他就會漸漸消瘦。
曾經看過醫生，檢查便便嗉囊無異常，詢問了這個狀況開怎麼處理。醫生說就只能盡量找方法讓他自己吃，但體重掉太誇張的話也只能再補奶。
Totoro一直以來除了這個問題之外，就是個活潑亂跳皮到不行的小鬼頭，所以我們在他約兩三歲的時候漸漸放棄了嘗試，現在非常後悔於自己的無知和短視。以前總想著，等有時間要來想辦法讓他斷奶，就算要我一顆一顆餵他也行。結果等有時間的時候已經來不及了。
一開始知道這個消息真的很崩潰，就像聽到作為我避風港的家人得到絕症般，每天看著他自責懊悔著。甚至跟老天許願，只要他多活一年，我就願意減一年性命給他。那陣子幾乎沒法好好做自己的事，只想照顧他，陪著他，心情跟著他的病況時好時壞的起伏著。
腎臟病是不可逆的，所以只能給他做支持治療，打輸液、吃降尿酸和止痛藥。
飲食方面醫生建議既然他自己沒法吃飽，就把幼鳥奶粉換成一般滋養丸，選擇蛋白質含量不要太高的打成粉泡給他吃。
前兩三個月我們幾乎每天跑醫院讓醫生給他打皮下輸液，因為他的指數雖然有下降，但還是一直沒有回到正常值之內。
看著他每次打完針腳濕濕毛亂亂的，心情很差的樣子，就會跟著很難過，
那陣子上網查了許多鳥類腎臟病的照護，隨著抽血結果不停調整尋找著適合他的飲食。
記得是在過年前左右，Totoro的指數第一次降到正常範圍內。
雖然是在及格邊緣，但還是超級開心。而我後來也跟醫生學了打輸液的方法，才大大減少了跑醫院的次數。
到現在Totoro維持著定期血檢，指數還是在邊緣上上下下的。我們根據血檢照醫生建議調整著輸液次數，也微調著飲食。
腎臟病很麻煩，給他太多營養怕他代謝不掉，但不給營養又不行，我們只能在中間小心翼翼地尋找著平衡點。
他的尿酸指數降下來後，血檢結果變成營養不良，我們嘗試著微量增加餵食濃度後尿酸又貌似會跟著增高。於是現在就維持著較低濃度的滋養丸奶，持續著每天的輸液和吃藥來達到不完全平衡但可以接受的狀態。
一方面也盡量讓他自己吃穀物，這隻雞上輩子大概是太上皇，一定要有人陪在旁邊才會願意自己吃，鳥奴們只好定時盯著他陪他吃飯。
他的精神活力現在大部份都還是很好，還是很愛磨屁屁，心情好的時候喜歡跳舞唱歌學狗叫。看著他狀況穩定，雖然血檢結果仍上上下下著，心也漸漸寬了下來。
他也讓我們學到，與其每天懊悔過去，擔心未來，珍惜現在擁有的每一刻才是最重要的。

Totoro，再來要去哪裡玩呢？



Totoro was diagnosed with kidney failure in last October, and he has gout thus his right foot is swelling.

We were nearly devastated when hearing about the news, and tried to think why he’ll have such a disease. Maybe it’s because he’d never really successfully weaning and were fed with baby parrot hand feed formula since he was born (That was a long story, he couldn’t sustain his light-already weight and eat by himself if we stop hand feeding him).
We’re having regular subcutaneous fluids and medicines to support his kidney function for almost one year until now.
Although his urid acid level is still lingering between normal and abnormal value, he is having rather stable condition in recent months, dancing and singing when he has a good mood.
The video was shoot after Totoro’s diagnosis.
Totoro teaches us that, it is better to cherish the moment we have than regret over past decision or worry what might happen in the future.

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
かすれた声のまま　消えた君は帰らないから
冷たい夜空のよう　闇の中　滲んでゆくこと
散らかったおもちゃや　吐き捨てたどろんこさえも
美しく輝く星屑を探してたんだね？

ミッドナイトにカスタネットを　どうかするくらい鳴らして
It’s all rightとか　いっそcryとか　どうかしてるから言わないで
10日前から　こんな毎日　過ごした程度で怖がって
Only oneのLonely night　眠れないまま

揺れるトレモロのように囁く言葉が
失くした記憶の灯火を　そっと胸の奥で揺らめかせて
平気なんて嘘ばかりで
君は幻の翼で空に浮かんで　得意げな顔でおどける
ふいにふりしぼる　その笑顔が　さよならの合図なんだと　わかっていた

明日になれば　また　この空は違って見えるかな？
大人になれば　ただ　目を閉じて眠ってしまうかな？
繋がれた鎖や　せわしない時計の針が
美しく輝く星屑を連れて行くんだね

交差点から高架線まで　いっそライトは消し去って
It’s all rightとか　いっそcryとか　どうかしてるから言わないで
通り過ぎてく　こんな毎日　過ごしてばっかじゃ　ダメだって
Only oneのLonely night　聞こえてるかな？

君は瞬きと共に過ぎてく時間も　遠くから見てると微笑んで
夜がつきつける　その明日を　あの日見た絵本のように　愛していて

揺れるトレモロの夜にきらめく雫が　集めた奇跡を音にして
ずっと憧れてた　夢見ていた　おやすみの合図のように
そして　思い出は二人の音を結んで　途切れないトリル奏でる
夜がつきつける　その明日を　あの日見た絵本のように
君を打ちつける　その涙も　朝を待つ世界のように　愛していて

愛していて

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
就算用嘶啞的聲音叫喊，但早已離去的你也回不來了啊
猶如冰冷刺骨的夜晚，漸漸滲入黑夜的死寂
但不論是四處散落的玩具，亦或被吐出口的泥濘
也曾探尋著美麗又璀璨生輝的星塵吧？

午夜時分的響板們啊，請盡你們所能地響徹鳴奏吧
「已經沒事了」、「盡情哭泣吧」，讓人難受就請別再說了
自十天前開始，每日都如此虛度光陰令我感到膽怯
在這孤單的無法入睡的夜晚，徹夜未眠

夜裡紛飛著，彷彿震音般的喃喃細語
幾時曾遺落的記憶燈火，靜靜地在這內心深處搖曳渲染
你總是撒下和煦平靜的謊言安撫此心
你展著虛幻的羽翼在空中翱翔，一臉得意地作伴嬉戲
不經意地竭盡哭喊，但我知道的啊，你那強顏歡笑，正是象徵離別的信號

倘若到了明天，還能看見這片不同的天空嗎？
倘若成了大人，閉上雙眼就能夠入眠了嗎？
但緊緊相繫的鎖鏈，亦或急忙奔走的時針
仍會帶著絢麗耀眼的繁星離去吧

自十字路口到高架鐵道，索性將所有光芒都抹去吧
「已經沒事了」、「盡情哭泣吧」，讓人難受就請別再說了
總是如此虛度光陰地度過每一日可不行啊
在這孤單的形單影隻的夜晚，你能聽見嗎？

與你共度的時光轉瞬即逝，但你仍會自遙遠的彼方面帶微笑守望
「哪怕漫漫長夜迎面而來、待至明日，仍將如那一天的繪本所描繪般，深愛著你。」

夜裡搖曳著，滴滴晶瑩剔透、熠熠生輝的震音，猶如匯聚而成的奇蹟樂章
我一直憧憬著、日夜夢著那聲響，聽來彷彿告別夜晚的信號
彼此的回憶令二人的聲音緊緊相繫，響徹永不停歇的顫音合奏
「哪怕漫漫長夜迎面而來、待至明日，仍將如那一天的繪本所描繪般——」
「那簌簌滴落你面頰的淚水，仍將如靜待黎明的世界般——深愛著你。」

「深愛著你。」

英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
My voice is still hoarse since you disappeared, never to return
Inside darkness resembling a cold night sky, tears blur my eyes
As even within scattered toys and spilled mud, I'm searching
For beautiful, shining pieces of stardust

Somehow I'm able to ring the castanets at midnight
Whether it's all right or whether I'd rather cry, I'll manage somehow, so don't tell me
Ten days ago, the thought of spending, every day like this terrified me
Only one lonely night, I'm still unable to sleep

Like a wavering tremolo, the whispered words
Make forgotten memories, as torches, gently flicker in the depths of my chest
The seeming composure is just a lie
Lifted by wings of fantasy, you float in the sky, joking with an elated expression on your face
That smile in which you put forth your entire heart, somehow, I understood it was a sign of farewell

If tomorrow comes, will this sky look different then, too?
If I grow up, will I be able to fall asleep just by closing my eyes?
The chains linking us together, and the rushing hand of the clock
Are taking away with them the beautifully shining stardust

From the intersection to the overhead train, I'd rather the light wipe it all away
Whether it's all right or whether I'd rather cry, I'll manage somehow, so don't tell me
Though day after day passes, I can't just spend each one like this
Only one lonely night, will you be able to hear me?

You're in the twinkling of the stars as well as the past we shared, watching over me from afar and smiling
"When night confronts you in the coming days, like in those picture books we read back then, I'll always love you"

In the night with a wavering tremolo, the sparkling droplets. Cause the gathered miracles to let out a sound
Forever full of longing, I fell into dreams, as if it were a sign of farewell

Then, our memories tie our sounds together, playing a trill that will never come to an end
"When night confronts you in the coming days, like in the picture books we read back then"
"Even those tears which drip heavily from you now. just like a world waiting for morning, I'll always love all of you"
"I'll always love all of you"

As a woman, whether we considered it or not, our bodies are designed to reproduce. What if we were unable to perform that function? Everyone’s body is different and everyone’s situation is different. This week’s podcast guest had a hard, beautiful journey, and was unable to conceive. Today, after 10 years of IVF and bearing three children, Tiffany Vaughan, soul coach and podcast host of “Hard Beautiful Journey,” inspires other women and mothers to reconnect with their soul and find and use their voice to unlock their potential. (https://mstiffvaughan.com/)
作為女性，無論我們是否有這個想法，我們的身體都是為了繁衍後代而設計的。如果我們無法執行這項任務，無法生育怎麼辦？每個人的體質不同，每個人的情況也都不一樣。本週的Podcast嘉賓經歷了一段艱難卻美好的旅程，也曾經無法懷孕。現在，經過 10 年的試管嬰兒和生育三個孩子，靈魂教練和「Hard Beautiful Journey」的Podcast主持人Tiffany Vaughan激勵其他女性和母親們重新與自己的內在建立連結，找到並利用自己的聲音來釋放自己的潛力。
