主日喜乐
Gladness on Sunday
人对我说:“我们往耶和华的殿去”我就欢喜。
——诗122:1
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
—Psalm 122:1
大部分人患有“周末综合征”,你知道什么是周末综合征吗?在礼拜天早晨吃饭之前,受害者容易发生这种症状,伴随着全身虚弱无力,他们会感到疲倦嗜睡。有时候受害者有轻微的头疼,当听到社区教堂的钟声时,这种头疼反而会更加严重。但是这种症状不会持续很久,通常在中午就会消失。受害者下午能够打一会儿高尔夫球或者吃一顿丰盛的晚餐,但是在晚上7:30的时候,这种症状又会重复出现,然后消失,直到下一个礼拜天的早晨。
A lot of people get what I call “Sunday-itis” on Sunday mornings. Do you know what Sunday-itis is? It attacks the victim shortly before breakfast on Sunday morning. It is accompanied by a feeling of weakness and lethargy. Sometimes the victim has a slight headache which is aggravated by the ringing of the church bells in the community. But the disease is of short duration, usually disappearing about noon, when the victim is able to eat a full dinner and play golf in the afternoon. But the symptoms usually appear again about 7:30 Sunday evening, and then disappear until the next Sunday morning.
今日祷告
天父,我愿意像大卫一样,因每个礼拜天能够在你的殿里敬拜你而感到无比喜乐!
Prayer for the day
May I always have the gladness that David had, as each Sunday I prepare to worship You in Your house, heavenly Father.
