Live. Laugh. Love. 生活、歡笑、愛心 （譯自Karen牧師的 ‘Live, Laugh, Love’） 生活、欢笑、爱心

These are my welcome door mat principles for life. The alliterative threesome play together joyfully and cheer me each day.

Live. This reminds me of my favourite biblical reference about ‘life in all its fullness’. What makes you feel joyously alive? I find an element of risk enlivens like nothing else! If everything is safe and predictable all the time, the joy of life diminishes. Adrenaline-fuelled risks can be fun, but short-lived. Everyday risk-taking involves putting ourselves out there beyond our comfort zone – to try or trust again, to risk a new way forward, to love without limit.

Laugh. As adults we seem to be serious much of the time. Even children spend their time on earnest endeavours, intentionally building new skills from an increasingly earlier age. Do we still value levity, or maybe we have just forgotten to include it in our lives? Yet, a good laugh (even a smile) with those around us, brings immediate delight to the soul and builds relationships in a positive way. I want to laugh more, don’t you? Let’s look for the humour in situations and share it with those around us. Tis the season to be jolly!

Love. This essential ingredient holds our trilogy together. The pleasing rush of risk is much richer when shared with others. There is joy in the shared anticipation and the embellished recounting! Love is inclusive, kind, unselfish, yet strong. It brings joy to the giver and to the world. It’s not just about family, but also friends and workmates – indeed love is a way of life. Love is both a gift to receive and a gift to give. Love is intangible and ethereal, yet substantial and real. Share it around! 
​
May you be blessed with life, laughter and love this Christmas and in the New Year.

以上題目的三個頭韻詞（Live, Laugh, Love）是我生活原則的迎客地毯。它們互動的表現令我每天歡樂及愉快。
 
生活 它提醒我的特別喜愛，聖經中有關‘生活於完美中’的參考。有什麼使你們感到歡樂呢？我認為冒點風險，會無可比擬地增益活力的！假使一切都安穩一如預料般，那麼生命的歡樂就失去光彩了。腎上素激發的冒險是有趣的，雖然為時短暫。日常的冒險嘗試把我們帶出安樂窩之外 － 再試或重新信任，向前邁進一步，施與無限的愛。
 
歡笑 身為成年人，我們看來事事嚴謹的。不及兒童花時著意地創新，由生命的早期逐漸刻意地建立新的技巧。我們為何不放鬆點，或許在生活中忘記了如此吧？縱然對週遭的人放懷地笑（甚或作點微笑），都立刻引致心靈喜悅從而建立良好關係的。我喜歡多點發笑，你們何不如此？讓我們在突發事情中看到幽默的一面，和跟他人分享吧。這是為何我們要歡笑的原因。
 
愛心 這核心要素連結整個三部曲。愛心的湧現令人滿意，在與他人分享之下會更充實的。愛的共同期待帶來歡樂，潤飾了情境的複述！愛是包涵的，善意的，不自私的，卻強大有力。它帶喜樂給付予者和世界。它不只涉及家庭，還兼及朋友和同事的 －實在愛是生活的方式。愛是禮物的接受和禮物的送出。愛可以觸摸得到又是縹緲的，卻具體而真實。讓我們分享吧！
 
願你們在這聖誕節和新年，得到生命、歡笑和愛心的祝福。
