游泳的恩典—馬太福音21:22［你們禱告, 無論求甚麼. 只要信, 就必得著.］這是La Cañada YMCA 室內游泳池入口處, 禱告牆上所引用的”If you believe, you will receive whatever you for prayer.” 我是South Pasadena YMCA 長年的游客, 每天早上5:00準時報到, 已游了二十多年, 因疫情游池關閉而終止. 這次黃太太動完手術, 遵醫囑每天需游泳一小時. 尋尋覓覓, 蒙主恩典, 終於找到La Cañada的YMCA. 這是目前南加州少數開放的公共游泳池. 藏身在這所美麗山城的YMCA, 美輪美奐, 嚴格防疫, 需用手機預約, 每小時只有12人入內游泳, 每條線只有兩人共游. 每次游泳時間大約一小時. 在如此絕佳的游泳池, 真是人間至高的享受. 以往在South Pasadena游泳是獨行俠, 為健身而游, 來去匆匆. 這次在La Cañada YMCA是為黃太太病後健身而結伴游. 心境完全不同. 最近才發現游泳對身心靈有巨大的益處. 尤其是靈命的成長. 游泳時是最佳背誦的時間, 也是禱告的最佳塲所. 一面游一面禱告, 效果奇佳. 尤其仰游時, 在水聲及馬達聲大聲說出你心中的話, 上帝一定會在您身邊撫慰你的心靈. 我們在地上的子女, 向天上的父述説我們的喜怒哀樂與悲歡離合. 子女的需要只要説出來, 不必求什麼, 天父會自動給我們, 有時候甚至不必開口, 所得也會超乎我們所求所想. 天父不在意我們的笨口笨舌. 祂看重的是我們純潔善良的心. 基督徒並非一旦受洗, 終身受洗. 最好每天浸在水中受洗, 洗去我們滿身的罪孽. 我們不需像印度人每年一次到恆河沐浴朝聖. YMCA的游池就是聖靈的江河. 人生的得失榮辱在聖靈的江河中, 有如滄海一粟,微不足道.每天所放心不下的是自己的至親好友, 是否安好否？衷心盼望眾親友福壽綿綿, 永懷主恩.
Grace of Swimming – Matthew 21:22 [Whatever you ask when you pray. Believe and you will receive.] This is the quote from the prayer wall at the entrance to the La Cañada YMCA indoor swimming pool “If you believe, you will receive whatever you for prayer.” I am a long-term tourist of South Pasadena YMCA, I arrive on time at 5:00 every morning, I have been swimming for more than 20 years, and the swimming pool was closed due to the epidemic. It takes one hour to swim. After searching, by the grace of the Lord, I finally found the YMCA in La Cañada. This is one of the few public swimming pools open in Southern California. The YMCA hidden in this beautiful mountain town is beautiful, with strict epidemic prevention, and requires a mobile phone By appointment, only 12 people swim in every hour, and only two people swim in each line. Each swim lasts about an hour. It’s a real pleasure in such a wonderful pool. Swimming in South Pasadena used to be a loner, Swimming for fitness, come and go. This time at La Cañada YMCA is to escort Mrs. Huang to exercise after her illness. The mood is completely different. Only recently have I discovered that swimming has great benefits for the body and mind. Especially spiritual growth. Swimming is the most important It is the best time to recite, and it is also the best place to pray. It is very effective to pray while swimming. Especially when swimming on your back, when you say your words aloud to the sound of water and motors, God will surely comfort you by your side. Spirit. Our children on earth tell the Father in heaven about our joys, sorrows, joys, joys and sorrows. As long as the needs of the children are expressed, there is no need to ask for anything, and the Father will automatically give them to us. What we ask or think. Heavenly Father doesn’t care about our stupid tongues. He cares about our pure and kind hearts. Christians are not baptized once they are baptized for life. We do not need to take a pilgrimage to the Ganges once a year like the Indians. The swimming pool of YMCA is the river of the Holy Spirit. In the river of the Holy Spirit, the gains and losses of life are like a drop in the ocean, insignificant. The one who is worried every day is his close relatives Friends, are you all right? I sincerely hope that all relatives and friends will have a long life and longevity.
