听过不少人发感叹,说自己读旧约出不了埃及,读新约进不了罗马。我自己在信主后的很长一段时间也是这般光景。但是连创世纪都读不完的不多,我今天恰好想到一个创世记里面,还是很靠前的故事,希望大家看完我说的故事,激发了自己的兴趣去看看经上的记载,默想一下。神赏给我们的故事要比我说的精彩多了,我看是我的版本,你看是你的版本,也许神让我此时学习感[

女儿和儿子小的时候,我这个懒妈经常把他们丢在一个大浴缸里一起洗澡,你也很可能干过这事!我很享受看孩子们光溜溜地在水里嘻笑打闹,小孩子们毫无羞耻感,赤裸相对很坦然。直到有一天,有一个孩子拒绝这样干了,这孩子再也不肯在父母,兄弟姐妹面前赤裸,她或他开始明白遮掩的需要了。童真和童趣失去了,有点儿惆怅!
