Bible verse of the Month 本月金句

「信就是對所盼望的事的把握,是還沒有看見的事的明證。」《希伯來書11章1節》
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1)

Meaning:

being able to enjoy the advantages of two very different things or situations at the same time.

My name is Jennifer. I work in a school as a Music and Piano teacher.  Two months ago, I gave birth to a baby girl. I named her Miriam.  I will never forget how I first held Miriam in my arms. She is truly a gift from God.  And I would never want to leave her for more than an hour.
But in no more than a couple of weeks, I have to go back to work. I still want to work as a piano teacher while being able to look after my baby.  Now, what should I do?
I prayed and prayed. The answer just came to me. I can teach at home!  Now I can still do what I like and take care of my baby at the same time. I really have the best of both worlds!
