光與鹽

#2022-0330

感謝 D. J. Wang 和 Daphne 邀請 Annie Tsai 及我倆 今天到草屯的「光與鹽」(Cafè La Luz & Sal) 享用午餐。這裡食物好吃,特別是西班牙燉飯 (paella);而我最感興趣的,卻是這家餐館的名稱「光與鹽」(語出聖經)。

猜想餐館主人應是基督徒吧?沒錯!Daphne 證實店家夫妻倆都是虔誠的主內青年,他們給大家十分親切的印象。

飯後,我們一行五人來到霧峰,在「省議會紀念園區」散步,邊走邊聊,真是美好極了。---- 此刻,且讓我複習一下《馬太福音》第五章,有關「光與鹽」的經文,如下:

爾如地之鹽,鹽失其味,何以復之?後必無用,惟迄於外,為人所踐耳。
You are like aslt for the whole human race. But if salt loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. It has become worthless, so it is thrown out and people trample on it.

爾乃世之光,猶建邑於山,不能隱藏。人燃燈不置斗下,乃在台上者,普照家人也。如是,爾光當照乎人,俾見爾善行,歸榮爾天父焉。
You are like light for the whole world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl; instead it is put on the lampstand, where it gives light for everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.

Flowers at Ringo-Tango

#2022-0328

The pictures of the flowers on this page were taken last Friday at Ringo-Tango (林果 ● 探戈), a nice coffeehouse (café) where my sisters and I have been to many times.

I was attracted to these flowers when Jean and I stopped by Ringo-Tango on our way home from the Happy Flute trip to Sun Moon Lake...

(If you're interested in that trip, see my recent posts "Mt. Maolan" and "The Wenwu Temple" for the depiction of our Happy Flute outing on March 25.)

Why did we stop by Ringo-Tango last Friday? Well, on our way home, it occurred to Jean that she and I should invite my sisters there for supper, as my 1st and 2nd sisters both live near Ringo-Tango. We contacted them on the cellphone; however, they strongly suggested that we "drop in" on them for supper -- at my 2nd sister's home!

So we quickly left Ringo-Tango with just a cup of coffee for each. Plus, as you can see below, I had taken a few pictures of the flowers before we left there.
