火事に遭遇

帰路、レジャック裏の火事に遭遇した。中村警察が近いのにパトカー数台と消防車多数。ヘリコプターまで2機急行した。我々名古屋人は自虐的だがこの時ばかりは名古屋の偉大さをつくづく実感したものだ。
ただ、素人のコメントだがあんなには要らないし、実際に消火活動、水をかけだすのが遅かった。しかし、消防士には敬意を評する。ただでさえ暑いのに防火服と機材などの重装備、暑さプラス燃え盛る炎の熱さ。貴方達は人の鑑です。

前向き思考

就職セミナーテキストより抜粋

退職を前向きに捉える。マイナスからプラスに切り替える。
不満や憤りの気持ちを整理する。
時間が解決するとしていたら悪戯に時間を浪費してしまう。
時間は、有限の消費財
過去の出来事を肯定し、運命と思い前向きに受け止める。すると自分の中にある潜在している力や可能性が引き出され、目標が見えてくる。
過去と他人は変えられないが、自分と未来は変えることができる。
プラス思考で前向きな態度を持ち、人生の一大転機に対処する。

★転機への対処法
●プラス思考で考え、マイナス思考はしない。
●決めたら、即行動を起こす。　Do it now!
●他人を批判しない。妬まない。悪口を言わない。
●逆境にはそれに見合う利益の種が含まれている。
●プラスの言葉を使い、明るい話題に関心をもつ。
●不愉快な気分になったら、思いっきり笑い飛ばす。
●自分の可能性を信じて、未来に目標をもつ。

May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
with a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
and in my heart you will remain
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young

And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young ,Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
For, Forever Young, Forever Young

Laura Branigan - Forever Young

Let's dance in style let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when the space is one
As we turn our faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the mad men
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever and ever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever young
Some are like water some are like the heat
Some are the melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams waiting out of the blue
We'll let them come true
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever and ever

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when it's time to go home
May you always have plenty
Your glass never empty
Know in your belly
You're never alone

May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
With every year passing
They mean more than gold
May you win but stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone

Well, I have to be honest
As much as I want it
I'm not gonna promise the cold winds won't blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fear surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when it's time to go home
And when hard times have found you
And your fear surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone

I'm sailing.

I am sailing
I am sailing
home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing stormy waters
to be near you to be free.
I am flying
I am flying like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying passing high clouds to be with you to be free.

Can you hear me
can you hear me thro' the dark night far away.
I am dying forever trying to be with you who can say.
Can you hear me
can you hear me thro' the dark night far away.
I am dying forever trying to be with you who can say.

We are sailing
we are sailing home again 'cross the sea.
VVe are sailing stormy waters to be near you to be free.

Oh Lord to be near you to be free
Oh Lord to be near you to be free . . .

migraine

I have had a bad headache for several days. It suffered me hard at the sanctuary of NUC today (07/04/2010). It makes me wonder if I have a tumor in my head.

On the way back home, I saw ex prime minister Mr. Hatoyama in Sakae. It was so crowded and the security was strict. I dropped in at the Free Cafe to let me relax.

Matthew 6

Matthew 6 (New International Version)

Giving to the Needy

1"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.
3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Prayer

5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.
6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9"This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today our daily bread.
12Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
14For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Fasting

16"When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.
17But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,
18so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Treasures in Heaven

19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

Do Not Worry

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:13 Or from evil; some late manuscripts one, / for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

A Worry List : 心配事リスト

"Quatation!" from Our Daily Bread,

A Worry List July 1, 2010 — by Anne Cetas

Our Daily Bread Radio is hosted by Les Lamborn
Read: Matthew 6:25-34
Do not worry about tomorrow. —Matthew 6:34
Bible in a year : Job 20–21 & Acts 10:24-48

I was worrying about a few things as I sat in my car under a shade tree at lunchtime. Then a robin, with a fat worm dangling from its mouth, landed near my door and looked up at me. The robin was a vivid reminder to me of Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:25-26, “Do not worry about your life . . . . Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”
Years ago, in an article in the Denver Seminary magazine Focal Point, Paul Borden gave some helpful suggestions for worriers:
Start a worry list. Write down what you’re worried about. The bills. Your job. Your children or grandchildren. Your health. The future.
Turn your worry list into a prayer list. Ask the Lord to work in those situations you’re concerned about. Pray specifically for your needs and depend on Him.
Turn your prayer list into an action list. If you have any insight that there’s something you can do about your cares, do it. As we turn our worries into prayer and action, Borden says, “Paralyzing anxiety can be replaced by concern for the responsibilities of life.”
Why not start your list right now?

Don’t fret about the future
Or be consumed by cares;
Instead take all your worries
And turn them into prayers. —Sper
What you have made a matter of prayer should cease to be a matter of care.

心配事リスト
■聖書のみことば　マタイ6：25-34
あすのための心配は無用です。―マタイ6：34

木陰に止めた車の中で昼の休憩をとりながら、いくつかの心配ごとに思いを巡らしていました。すると、くちばしに丸々とした虫をくわえたコマドリが、ドアの近くにとまり、私を見上げました。それを見て、マタイ6章25-26節にあるイエスのみことばをはっきりと思い出しました。「自分のいのちのことで、…空の鳥を見なさい。種蒔きもせず、刈り入れもせず、倉に納めることもしません。けれども、あなたがたの天の父がこれを養っていてくださるのです。あなたがたは、鳥よりも、もっとすぐれたものではありませんか。」
もう何年も前のことですが、ポール・バーデン師が提案した心配ごとの対処法を、デンバー神学大学院の機関誌「フォーカル・ポイント」で読みました。
まず、心配ごとリストを作ります。例えばローンの支払い、仕事のこと、子どもや孫たちについて、健康、将来の生活など、あなたの心配ごとを書き連ねます。
そして、心配ごとリストを祈りのリストにします。今ある状況の中で、主が働いてくださるように祈ります。特に、あなたの必要について具体的に祈り、主に頼ります。
さらに、祈りのリストを行動リストに変えるのです。もし、自分から行動すべきだと思うことがあったら、そうしましょう。ただ心配するのではなく、心配から祈り、そして行動と移っていけるなら、心配は「対処できない不安ではなく、責任をもって対処すべき課題」になるだろうと、バーデン師は語っています。
今すぐに自分のリストを作ってみてはどうでしょう。 （Anne Cetas）

祈りの課題になったことは、もはや心配の種ではない。
