十個職場人的故事 (A Personal Note)

A Note on My Personal Testimony

Knowing that Jean, our grandson James, and I will soon be leaving Hualien in early July, the Rev. Minglong Wu, vicar of St. Luke's Church, invited me to be the first speaker in a special program called "Ten Workers' Stories" (十個職場人的故事).

I felt honored by the invitation. As the first person to share a personal testimony, I also realized that I had considerable freedom in choosing what to talk about. I could simply share whatever I enjoyed and whatever I thought might be meaningful to our brothers and sisters at church.

"Being the first speaker doesn't have to be a big challenge," I told myself. Rather than taking the role too seriously, I could simply be the one to get the ball rolling—or, as expressed in the Chinese phrase 拋磚引玉, the one who "throws out a brick to attract jade."

With that in mind, I chose to share two categories of "my favorites" at St. Luke's this afternoon:

Part One: 花蓮實景～花蓮十景：我的最愛

(My Ten Favorite Scenic Spots in Hualien)

Part Two: 優美感人的詩歌：我的最愛

(My Favorite Hymns and Songs at St. Luke's)

I was grateful for the warm response from everyone, and I hope this small beginning may encourage others to share their own stories in the weeks ahead.
