我真的不知道要几时回去好。
后来听说，弟要筹钱，让他来一起生活吧，阿姨对我们很“慷慨”，可以赚到不少。如果他来，我们就可以一起庆祝耶诞，然后才回家。结果妈还是唠叨念了一堆。反正，我们就只被允许留在她身边。
当然，弟很听话，他跟我不一样。
每天放工去逛街花钱，和睡觉前打开电脑和弟弟聊天已成了我的习惯。上班时的不苟言笑和下班后的疯疯癫癫成了对比。其实我还蛮爱这种感觉，感觉自己还活着，而且还靠自己的双脚站着。
信靠了主耶稣后，我的生活和看法都改变了。阿姨要男朋友一起来参加我们教会的活动，我期待万分。昨天，我读到一则小故事，非常受感动。在此与大家分享。
Barriers and Blessings
What did Jesus see when He looked at the woman at the well in John 4? He saw someone who wanted acceptance and desperately needed to know she was loved. Most of all, He saw someone who needed what only He could give – a new heart.
It was no accident that he disciples had all gone to town to buy food. Surely they would have tried to warn Jesus not to talk to this person – a woman, a Samaritan and someone with bad reputation.
Not being one to follow protocol, however, Jesus used this encounter to bless her with the truth of “living water” (John 4:10). In just one conversation He broke down barriers of old hostilities, of gender bias and of ethnic and racial divides. And this woman became the first of many Samaritans to confess that Jesus was the Messiah (vv.39-42).
When she told others of her encounter with a Man who knew “all that I ever did”, shew as already practicing the principle of ‘sowing and reaping’ that Jesus was teaching His followers (John 4:35-38 ). Many believed that day, and later Philip, Peter, John and others would preach in Samaria and lead many more to Christ (Acts 8:5-14;15:3).
When we tell others of our own ‘encounter’ with Jesus, we bless them with living water. – Cindy Hess Kasper
