A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
喜樂的心乃是良藥;憂傷的靈使骨枯乾。
(箴言17:22)

夕陽無限好,日日有黃昏

夕陽無限好,日日有黃昏
「向晚意不適, 驅車登古原;夕陽無限好,只是近黃昏。」李商隱的這首詩千百年來不知引起多少人的共鳴,卻又不知撩起多少人的自憐自嘆。詩的意境好,只是太消極了。其實天天有夕陽,日日有黃昏!不是嗎?

我給上帝只是 10%



美國一位自稱牧師的客人用餐後拒付小費。

他的理由是:〝我給上帝只 10%憑什麼要 18

我們花錢享用的每一項服務,其實都包含了硬件和軟件... 

硬件是質量,明碼實價。

軟件是服務。服務得好,客人滿意,給小費是一種鼓勵。

梁某半世打工只收過一次小費,雖然所得無多,卻是終生受用!〔註〕

至於這位拒付小費的客人,我相信他不是一位真正的牧師,甚至不是基督徒

給上帝的奉獻,怎可能跟小費相提並論?

〔註〕詳見 2009 年 5 月 15 日「牛扒的故事 - 上」

俾貼士上帝?

佢當上帝係佢個waiter咁冇規矩,如果真係牧師就該死咯!

網主的「牛扒的故事」原來分為上集、下集、還有前傳(2009年5月15,16,17日)。內容非常有趣,也反映了早些年海外留學生生活的一鱗半爪,值得推薦!

Well, it turns out the customer is Alois Bell, who in fact is a pastor of the Truth in the World Deliverance Ministries Church.

And

The waitress Chelsea Welch who sent the story and picture to Yahoo News got fired after the pastor complained to the manager of the restaurant.

"My heart is really broken, I’ve brought embarrassment to my church and ministry." Said the pastor.

OMG

多謝大家的留言。

拒付小費的客人竟然真的是一位傳道人。她在「蒙羞」後向該餐館經理投訴,肇事的侍應生因此丟職。

梁某跌晒眼鏡!

If Alois Bell, the pastor believed in what she was writing on the check, then she should stand by it. If she is now embarrassed, then maybe she wasn't so convinced she was doing right. She deserves whatever embarrassment she received.

I do not see how this "pastor" has a right to privacy when she wrote a personal note to the waitress. Her complaint and the subsequent firing of the waitress is totally wrong. The "pastor" should have read the menu where it says 18% gratuity added to parties of 8 or more. If she didn't like that policy she should have left before ordering and just stick with McDonald's.

我早在文章上說了:「給上帝的奉獻,怎可能跟小費相提並論?」

又誠如 Another Waitress 所說,當餐館明文寫上收小費的條款時,有不同意的,理應事前與餐館理論,何以事後爭執?甚至弄到對方丟職,失去生計?

聖經不是叫我們愛鄰舍、愛敵人、原諒別人七十個七次嗎?

唉,這位傳道人/牧師的確令人失望!

上帝自有審判!
