彼得.梅尔笔下的普罗旺斯生活充满了喜乐与诱惑，因着他的散文魅力，偷几天光阴享受一把可能这辈子都未必能实现的山居岁月是一件多么惬意的事情！虽然眼下无法追寻梅尔的脚踪感受普罗旺斯的缕缕清风，可是却依然无法阻隔我心中的盼望，享受依山傍水的田野风光。 在田野旁边的那庄就是这座有点偏僻却依山傍水小村庄。两、三层高的房子，还有洒满阳光的院子，院子里种满各样花草蔬菜，门前的树上结满了桔子、石榴、无花果...普通得名不见经传没几个人光顾，却是充满原汁原味的村庄。吃过早饭，随意在院子里的树上摘桔子或石榴，边摘边吃，又或者帮忙主人剥自家种的毛豆，晒晒太阳吹吹凉风。中饭吃得都是地里出产的最新鲜食材。下午在附近村庄转转，瞧瞧老房子，看看山和水。不必开那么远的车去游人区看人为修饰的风景，不必与那么多人挤来挤去。晚饭时喝着主人家自己发酵酿制葡萄酒...看着他们享受着自给自足的生活，这么多年，用地里生长的最新鲜的原料，过着朴实的乡村有机生活...啊～～如此与当地人一样过着普通生活，而不是像游人一样匆匆到此一行，这就是我喜欢的懒散和随意。

火焰布道家──布永康在非洲一个布道会中说了这样的一个故事： 有一位年轻人，他拥有一栋极漂亮的房子，这栋房子有两层，上层有五个房间，下层有五个房间，总共十个房间。他非常高兴拥有这栋房子，而且引以为傲。 有一日，有一个人轻轻敲门 咯咯，咯咯~~他开门，惊讶地发现原来是主耶稣。 耶稣对他说∶「我敲门想要进来，你要让我进来吗？ 」 年轻人十分高兴，说∶「欢迎你主，我要把最好的房间给你住，请进，请进。 」 耶稣是个绅士，他说∶「谢谢你。」 年轻人说∶「这栋屋子最好的房间在楼上，里面有最好的家俱，是最大最好的房间。 」 于是他走到楼上说∶「主耶稣，这是你的房间。 」 耶稣是个绅士，他说∶「谢谢你。 」 第二天早上，有人急急地敲门 咯咯咯咯咯咯~~ 年轻人心想谁敲门敲得这么急...他打开门，看看是谁... 是魔鬼... 年轻人立刻叱喝∶「走开魔鬼！」 魔鬼说∶「不！我已经进来了！ 」 年轻人说∶「我不要你！ 」 魔鬼说∶「我已经进来了！ 」 于是两人便开始扭打成一团。 魔鬼整天都在年轻人心中注入污秽的试探，情况危急... 到了晚上，年轻人才勉强把魔鬼推出去，将门锁上。他筋疲力尽。 之后，他想∶「等一下，耶稣住在我家，他为什么不帮助我，他难道没有听见我在喊叫，需要帮忙吗？他为什么不来帮助我？ 」 于是，他走到楼上，对耶稣说∶「主耶稣啊，难道你没听见魔鬼整天在烦我吗？你为什么不帮我 ？ 」 耶稣说∶「孩子，在这十个房间中，你住了九间，我只住了一间。 」 年轻人好像被敲了一下，说∶「噢，主啊，我知道我犯了错误，我们一半一半好了，你住楼上，我住楼下吧。 」 耶稣是个绅士，他说∶「谢谢你。 」 到了第二天早上，又有人急急地敲门了 咯咯咯咯咯咯~~ 年轻人想∶糟了！魔鬼又来了！我不想开门..可是，万一是别人呢？我怎么知道不是别人呢？我只要开个小缝就好了； 偷看一下，如果是魔鬼，我就赶快关门。 于是他把门只开了一小缝，从里面偷看一下...是谁？ 又是魔鬼... 他赶快想要关门，但魔鬼的脚很瘦，它用脚挡住门缝，于是他们又扭打了一整天，情况实在激烈... 到了晚上，年轻人才勉强把魔鬼推出去，将门锁上。他筋疲力尽。 之后，他想∶「等一下，我给耶稣一半的房间，包括最好的房间，耶稣为什么不来帮助我，我一定要问问他。 」 ...

I asked God to take away my habit. God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned. I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you. I asked God to spare me pain . God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me. I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful. I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things. I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. God said.......Ahhhh, finally you have the idea. THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY My God Blesses You!

These days there are some people who dont believe in Jesus Christ and are only filled with the knowledge of the world. They have no knowledge of the Gospel, but they ridicule it as the words of ignorant people when they hear, "If you believe in Jesus, you will be saved and go to heaven." Such people may say that even though they dont believe in Jesus, they can go to heaven as long as they are morally and ethically right and serve humanity. But the Gospel of Christianity is not like that at all. Accepting the Gospel means that we are born again and receive eternal life by believing in Jesus Christ. Our lives can take root in eternal heaven, and we can be free from sin and guilt and enjoy freedom and pleasure. Because of the Gospel, we can come out of the emptiness and meaninglessness of life, gain the true worth of life, and also reside in the power of God that brings resurrection from death. Consequently, as long as we live in this world we can win over sin, Satan's ...

Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. No wonder that the answer never comes back until the letter dorps into the post-office box. In other words, nothing will be accomplished if distrust holds on to a corner of it. Too many things tell me this simple truth of what faith is. Learning to trust letters to the postman, learning to let something goes out of hands, and learning to trust the Lord!
