我剛從瑞典的世界童軍大露營回來。
昨天在教會祈禱會上，為世界的祈禱事項是，為饑荒之地禱告。
這才再一次驚覺，能夠到訪世界各地實在是有著很充裕的資源。生長在物質富裕的香港是如斯幸運，況且在香港，豐裕的不單單是物質的生活，還有發達的資訊，先進的科技。固然不是最頂尖的資訊和科技，然而就我們已有的，都全是恩典。
於是，我問上帝為甚麼給我這些呢？有更多的理由要我好好地管理所擁有的。
我們兩三個一組禱告。在禱告中，反省我們可以做甚麼，肯定上帝的愛、即使是他方在東非饑荒、當中索馬里等地受苦的無助人民，認罪承認人類在政治上及人類的平等上可以更好地減低災害。
After just back from World Scout Jamboree in Sweden, I went to church prayer meeting yesterday. There, we prayed for the world of famine and affected areas in East Africa. Then I realized the blessings of living in Hong Kong with abundant materials, information and technology. It is not the top ones, but more than sufficient for me to do something. It is really grace from God of all these blessings. I just wonder why I am given all these, but that it is a position to better manage what I have.
In the prayer of a small group of two or three persons, we once again reflected on what we shall act upon, and confirmed about God's love even in these helpless suffering people, as well as confessed the human kind political and equality responsibilities in lowering the impact of these disasters.
