喜欢音乐

和我们一样儿子也喜爱音乐。今天在Starbucks随手买了一盘Charlie Brown 的圣诞节的CD。有两首他反复听:Linux and Lucy; For Alice. 听得也非常专注,竟想试着弹出这些曲目,借此机会告诉他只要坚持练,有一天你也会弹出这些美丽的曲子。他听了很是兴奋。

Give Thanks

By Thanksgiving is coming, I give thanks to the lord that given me such a wonderful church so I can worship you and fellowiship with brothers and sisters; given thanks that I has this job I've been enjoying and near to home; given thanks that I have this wonderful family; given thanks that I have so many friends around me to encourage me and enlighten me; most of all given thanks that You found me and let me live a life full of joy and blessings. Here is the song we sung at church on Sunday:

GIVE THANKS
WITH A GRATEFUL HEART
GIVE THANKS
TO THE HOLY ONE
GIVE THANKS
FOR HE'S GIVEN
JESUS CHRIST, HIS SON(X2)
AND NOW LET THE WEAK SAY
I AM STRONG
LET THE POOR SAY
I AM RICH
BECAUSE OF WHAT
THE LORD HAS DONE
FOR US (X2)
GIVE THANKS...

Indoor Soccer

Thomas' normal soccer season was over and I signed him up indoor soccer from Blue Sky Soccer Club for winter season. Today is the first game. His team is Titans with blue shinny jersey.

He played really good and you heard everybody shouted his name during the game and he was one of great players in his team. I am so proud of him.

After the game he told me that indoor soccer was different and he likes it.

Nutcracker In Majestic Theater

Saturday we went to Majestic Theater to see Nutcracker performed by Moscow ballet's Great Russian.

It was great show and I'm surprised that Thomas had sit there for almost 2 hours and enjoyed it. Last time he's seen Nutcracker was last year at his school and he loved it. This is also the first he has seen ballet performance at real theater.

After the show he told about the parts he likes most and the parts he doesn't like and has lots of opinion.

Grandparents' Day

Today is the grandparents' day in Thomas' school. Every year this time school will hold this event and some of the grandparents even fly from other part of the country.

Since Thomas' grandparents are out of the states I was there today for him and he was so happy and behaved mostly of the time.

The whole event was so great and kindergartners performed several songs. That's awesome.

I really wish my parents were there for Thomas.

人生闲谈

看了一些文章,也想说说人生的意义。

人生在我看来不一定要轰轰烈烈。一首歌写的好:平平淡淡才是真。我们的成长背景是很难培养出甘愿‘平庸’而又能享受所谓‘世俗幸福’的人群。我们的教育多是使人清高,傲骨,出于泥而不染,也有些自命不凡。这也是以前的我。

认识神之后,逐渐改变了我的这种心态。我们人面对这无尽的浩瀚宇宙是多么得无知和渺小,是神博大的爱和神奇的创造才有我们的一切。我们时刻被无知和罪恶所包围,被无尽的私欲和争斗所窒息。我们被明利和物质所困惑。我们已拥有了许多但并不真正快乐。因为我们没有神,我们的灵魂没有归宿。

我们人的大多数是平凡的俗人,享受的应改是世俗的幸福。能把这锁碎的人生,点点滴滴的,有滋有味的‘活’出来也是一件不简单的事。如果能在这‘平庸’中品出其中的喜乐,人生也是充实而有意义的。而这样不简单的生活动力的源泉只有来自上天的父。-“耶和华是我们的道,是我们前行的灯。”

Beethoven Symphony No.5

Surprisingly Thomas can recite the first several notes of Beethoven Symphony. No.5.

He told me that he listened it from the movie.
And he was trying to play it by memories last night. I realized that I should encourage him to learn playing piano but sometime it's hard for me and one thing is how to keep him sit still for a couple of minutes without getting him upset.

Wonderful Time Of The Year Again

Feel the holiday is coming. Radio station started to play all Christmas songs again. I always think Christmas songs are the most beautiful songs in the world. I've been wondering why. No doubt that everything comes from Heavenly Father is the most beautiful thing in the world.

Thomas always loves to sing Christmas songs. He can name lots of them preciously.

这几天的流水帐

忙,真忙,忘记了是星期几。

昨天是万圣节又是先生的生日。更忙。

今天的意外收获:大学同学曹竟在奥斯丁住了13年,看来不光是我来德州的都喜欢这里。德州是移民的沃土。
