On Saturday. morning. I couldn't find my diamond ring. I usually take it out when I am cooking, cleaning or when I am taking shower. That means if the ring is not on my hand, it usually is in the kitchen or my bathroom. But this time I couldn't find it. David and I went out and show houses on Saturday. I was trying so hard to remember where did my ring went. When I got home I look around all the possible place again. I even wear the gloves and look through the kitchen's garbage. That was so disgusting. Unfortunatly, I found not thing.

This week is our turn to teach sunday school again! I don't feel like prepare my sunday school lesson on Saturday. All I can think about is "WHERE IS MY RING?" But David was prepare his lesson. This was part of his lesson for Sunday school, he said, :"Have you ever lost something important? (I was so upset, I said ... yes my diamond ring) "When you do, you look all over for it until you find it." ( Yes I been looking everywhere, I even look through the garbage) Then David continue read through his lesson... "It feels good when you find something that was lost. (I answer, I still looking for it.) he continue said "That's what happened to a lady in a story Jesus told. A woman had 10 coins that were very valuable, and she lose one. Do you think she just sat around and says, "oh well, I've got 9 other coins. I don't really need one more? "No way, She put everything else in her life aside and looked all over for the coin until she found the coin. And bible says that when she found the coin, she was so excited that she told her friends and neighbors about it."

David continue read through his paper: "Did you notice that she "lit a lamp" and "swept the floor"? When you lose something you love you will do whatever it takes to get it back. even if it takes hard work." Now David decide to help me look under the stove. He move the stove for me. and look very carefully with flash light this time. like bible says :P But he found not thing under the stove. :'( I was so disappionted . I asked God "the lady in the story found her coin, but where is my ring?' I cried, and asked David to forgive me. He said to me "just a ring don't worry about it." I said to him, "I know is just a ring, but that was a ring he put on my hand when you promise to me on my wedding day." I cried.. in my heart, I asked God, just let me have one more touch with my ring.

The David start to asked me, maybe the ring is in the shirt you wear other day. I said no.. because there is no pocket in that shirt. I was wear a black shirt with a blue jeans that day. I look through the laundry and pick up the dirty jeans. put my hand in the pocket... And I touch something, and I remember that touch. That was my ring.

This time, I was crying so badly with lots Joy. I spend all afternoon and all my strength looking for it. Now I found it. God, I now know how You feel how You try so hard to looking for me and how happy You are when You found me. Thank you God for your teaching. You are so wonderful.

" A woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.'
Luke 15:8-9 (NIV)

在星期六早上。我找不到我的結婚戒指。通常在我煮飯. 洗碗或當洗澡時我會把它拿下來。所以當戒指不是在我的手上時通常會是在廚房或我房間的浴室裡。這次我卻找不都找不到它。星期六, 大為和我帶客人出去看房子。我一直很努力的回想我把戒指放在那裡。當我回到家時我就檢查所有可能的地方。我甚至帶手套檢查過廚房的垃圾。那是很令人作嘔 的。可是我甚麼都沒找到。

這個星期又輪到我們教主日學! 我晚上根本沒心情準備我星期天的課。我只是一直在思考"我的戒指到底在那裡?" 我老公卻是認真的在我旁邊準備他要教的主日學課程。以下是他主日學課的一部分的講義 -他說: "您曾經 遺失過很重要的東西嗎?" (我是很難過的說, 是的 我的鑽戒) "當東西不見時你一定找過全部可能用丟的地方吧。" (是的 我到處找, 我甚至 查看廚房的垃圾),, 然後大為又繼續讀通過他的講義說:"當你找到丟失的東西時 你會感覺特別好。(我回答, 我仍然在尋找它當中。) 他繼續說: "耶穌說了一個發生在一位婦人身上的故事。婦女有10 枚很有價值的硬幣, 並且她遺失了一個。你認為她做沒事的說, " 還好, 我還有其它9枚硬幣嗎。我不需要第十枚硬幣? "我想她不會這樣說的, 沒道理吧 我想她會把其它該做的事暫時放在一旁 並且努力到處尋找遺失的硬幣直到她找到為止。聖經並且認為當她查找了硬幣, 她是很興奮的告訴她的朋友和鄰居。"

大為繼續練習且說 :"您注意到了嗎, 她甚至點了燈 和打掃屋子,細細的找,"? 當您丟失您愛的東西時您會不顧一切的辛苦只為了找回你遺失的東西。" 現在大為決定幫助我查看火爐下面。他移動火爐為我非常仔細地用手電筒幫我查找 如聖經所說的點上燈 :P 但他在火爐之下還是找不到。: '
( 我是因此更失望。我求上帝 "婦人在故事找到她的硬幣, 但是我的戒指在那裡?' 我哭了了, 我跟大為說原諒我的不小心。他對我說"只是個戒指 不要擔心了。" 我對他說, "我知道只是個戒指, 但卻是我們的結婚戒指。" 我難過的哭著。在我的心裡, 我告訴上帝, 請讓我再一次摸到我的戒指。

大為開始問我, 戒指可能在妳的襯衫的口袋裡嗎?我說:" 不會的, 因為那件襯衫沒有口袋。我那天是穿黑色的襯衫搭配藍色牛仔褲。"我翻通我洗衣籃和拿起穿過的牛仔褲 把我的手放入口袋裡... 我摸到一個東西, 我記得那質感。是我的戒指。

這時, 我是如此充滿喜悅的大哭帶著大笑。我花了整個下午和所有我的力量為了了尋找它。現在我終於找到了它。上帝, 我現在知道神你的心 你是如此付上代價的那麼尋找我 當你找到我時 你是如此滿足及開心。

生活中的小事竟然和隔天要教小朋友的課, 不謀而合 。感謝神的教導, 你真是一個奇妙的神。

" 一個婦人有十塊錢,若失落一塊,豈不點 上燈,打掃屋子,細細的找,直到找著嗎?找著了,就請朋友鄰舍來,對他們說:我失落的那塊錢已經找著了,你們和我一同歡喜吧!" 路加福音 第十五章8-9
