相信一切都是最好的安排

【相信一切都是最好的安排】
分享朋友寫的小故事：「有天教堂中的職事覺得耶穌很辛苦就跟十字架上的耶穌說我可以代替你，你可以下來休息一下，耶穌就說：那好，只是你要記得你在上面無 論發生什麼事，一句話也不可以說。職事答應了就代替耶穌上去十字架，聽了很多天人們的禱告，各式各樣都有，他很想說話幫人們解決問題但都忍住了...
有一天，來了一個財主，結果走的時候忘了把錢袋帶走，職事本想叫住他但還是忍住了；結果財主後面來了一個窮人，窮人祈禱完，發現有一袋錢想說耶穌顯靈就歡 喜拿了錢袋走；後來又來了一個即將搭船出海的年輕人，禱告完要走的時候剛好遇上財主回來找錢袋，結果就認為是年輕人偷了，當場爭吵起來，眼看年輕人就要搭 不上船了，職事終於忍不住開口說話，告訴財主錢袋是之前的窮人拿走的，財主便去市集中找窮人，而年輕人也即時趕上了船。

但是，耶穌跳出來說，你不能再替我了，你破壞了規則，職事說：我幫他們一下都不行嗎？這時耶穌說：財主有的是錢，屈屈一小袋錢他也只是拿去吃喝嫖賭，而那袋錢可以救窮人一家大小；至於趕不上船的年輕人，他趕不上船到好，因為他的船一出海就發生船難。」
-----------------------------------------------
有時候我們會說上天開了我們一個玩笑，
你考不上好學校，所以你找到另一條更好的出路，
你失戀了，你才懂得愛自己，讓更好的你遇上更好的人，
你遇到了小人，你感謝他磨練你的意志和胸襟，
你生病了，你給了自己機會休息，善待自己身體，
你跌倒了，你才知道要怎麼站起來，才能跑得更遠，
面對逆境，換個心態，我常說：「就當作學習吧！」
我們常遇到生活中的挫折或不快樂，「轉個念」想想，或許這一切都是最好的安排，因為你要成長、學習去面對困難，接受生命中的不完美，你才能變的更堅強，更成熟。最後你回頭看，你會感謝一切，抱著喜樂寬闊的心，於是相信一切都是最好的安排！

A day in Narita

Couldn't get on to our standby flight from Narita to San Francisco and we are told the next available flight is on the following day 4pm, fortunately the airport hotel in Narita isn't too expensive.

Since our flight is at 4pm, we decided to make use of our free morning to explore Narita town. Narita town is just 20 minutes of train ride from Narita airport, cost around 240 yen. There is luggage storage service in Narira airport for around 500 yen.

Breakfast in Narita town. I wanted macha latte.

They serve horse sashimi here

Narita town is like a mini Kyoto, full of old people and old architecture.

Freshly made senbei (rice cracker).

The family is toasting senbei behind

There is a few unagi restaurant here and this is the most popular one as they are more affordable. Note that they only take cash, no credit card payment available.

Master showing how do you kill and remove the bone of an unagi (eel) in 5 second.

Grilling unagi on charcoal

Naritasan Shinshoji Temple

"Naritasan was built in the year 940 around its main sacred object of worship, a statue of the Buddhist Fudo Myoo deity. Kobo Daishi, the founder of the Shingon Sect and one of the most important figures in Japan's religious history, is said to have carved the statue."

Japanese believes the incense smoke will chase away back luck, you may see folks fanning the smoke toward themselves, we did that too.

Pretty sure there is an interesting story behind this sword on the gate of this hall, anyone knows?

Naritasan Park is inside the temple.

Unagi time! Didnt have enough Japanese yen so we can only opt for the more expensive restaurant. Apparently Surugaya is the third best restaurant recommended on tripadvisor for Narita.

I don't like fish so i opt for the charcoal grilled chicken. They are so generous in term of portion, chicken is juicy and i love the charcoal burnt smell on the chicken.

The husband's 3 piece unagi bento. Juicy and fluffy but i heard he complained that this unagi has alot of bones. 

Our little adventure out to Narita town was short but it was really good, we are really glad that we came out instead of staying in airport.
