經文：以弗所書3:14-21

「因此，我在父面前屈膝，
（天上地上的各（或作：全）家，都是從他得名。）
求他按著他豐盛的榮耀，藉著他的靈，叫你們心裡的力量剛強起來，
使基督因你們的信，住在你們心裡，叫你們的愛心有根有基，
能以和眾聖徒一同明白基督的愛是何等長闊高深，
並知道這愛是過於人所能測度的，便叫神一切所充滿的，充滿了你們。
神能照著運行在我們心裡的大力充充足足的成就一切，超過我們所求所想的。
但願他在教會中，並在基督耶穌裡，得著榮耀，直到世世代代，永永遠遠。阿們！」

The Blue Cave, Penghu, Taiwan

 "Penghu unique beauty is difficult to understate and it is tough to select from the multitude of stunning natural scenery it has to offer. The Blue Cave (藍洞) is undoubtedly a highlight though. Situated on the uninhabited Xiji Islet (西吉嶼) in the South Penghu Marine National Park, the Blue Cave features Penghu’s trademark basalt columns inside a cave which is beautifully lit up thanks to a large opening in the rocky ceiling.

    The light reflecting on the clear blue sea in the cave lights the whole place up in a shimmering bright blue light which is a truly staggering spectacle. Sadly, dangerous currents and rockfalls have made the cave unsafe to visit and anyone found entering the cave can expect a heavy fine. But many boat tours still stop outside the cave to offer visitors a tantalizing glimpse of one of Taiwan’s unique natural wonders." Cited from:

Twin Hearts Stone Weir, Qimei Island, Penghu, Taiwan

"Qimei’s iconic symbol is the Twin Hearts Stone Weir（七美鄉雙心石滬）, made of stones laboriously stacked, which does its duty by leaving marine creatures stranded at low tide after innocently meandering in at high. The romance and scenic beauty of this place entice a steady tide of soon-to-be-newlyweds for wedding-photo shoots." Cited from:
