Happy 18th Birthday!

My beloved daughter,

Today is your 18th birthday, I wish you have a great time to celebrate with your friends and family!
For mom, it's a very special day, it brings me a lot of memory of your birth and how we raise you up in the past. I remember of your birth of only 6.05 pounds, however, you are as tall as mom now! Sometimes I hope to hold you like a baby or bear on my lap. By the way, I still save up some of your favorite toys and clothes in the closet, may be one day, you can show it to your child as a sharing of memory.

Even by now, I still thanks God to have you as my child. You are always listening and understanding, mature to deal with problems and willing to drive yourself to be a better person. As you have said this morning, you are always behave like a good kid, what's more I can ask for! However, the most I treasure is the sharing between us, any topics about your work, your school and even your love life! Although I realize one day you may move out or work somewhere else, remember mom will be always here to listen to your stories, no matter sorrow or laughter, ups or downs in life.

As of now, you are consider a young adult. What is this mean to you? To mom, I don't have an answer for you, it takes time for you to explore and find out. But as Christian, I would like to share this quote from Psalm 1 as a gift to you: Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers, but his delight is in the law of the Lord and on his law he meditates day and night!

Love you forever!


Mom

我的前半生

外面下著毛毛細雨,心情有點忐忑,突然間很想回顧一下自己的前半生。

在有記憶開始,約兩歲左右吧,我和家人一家七口住在一個五百呎左右的單位,哥哥姊姊睡在上下隔床,我和爸媽睡在一起。雖然我們並不富裕,但日子總算平靜安穩的渡過。兩位哥哥是我兒時的玩伴,爬山、溜冰、踏單車都是跟他們學的,心中留下不少童年回憶!

約小三那年,大姊帶了我返教會,就這樣結識了許多返團契的弟兄姊妹,大家所建立的友誼至今都還在。此外,在中學階段我認識生命的主,並且決志相信耶穌!主讓我倚靠祂,經歷了會考、高考、出來工作也一帆風順。一九九五年,由於不太喜歡香港這個商業化的城市,我決定移民加拿大。在這裡我結婚、生小孩、讀書、工作雖然辛苦,但也頗順利、愉快。在教會和工作間我也認識了一班好朋友,大家在異地互相扶持,為生活增添了不少色彩。

今年,我的女兒也踏入十八歲,考進了大學。回顧這一生,我感恩主對我不離不棄,沒有因為我過往的任性遠離我,相反一路引領我,為我開啓許多可能性。今天我知道,縱使我徘徊在死蔭幽谷中,祂的慈愛和誠實是永遠長存!在此借用大衛的詩篇27:有一件事,我曾求耶和華,我仍要尋求,就是一生一世住在耶和華的殿中,瞻仰他的榮美!

角色奕轉

今天早上與大姐來到這個熟悉但又有點陌生的地方,是我過去三年在這醫院癌腫瘤科當義工,但今天卻以病人的身份首次走進去,面對着熟悉的醫護人員和病床,但心情已佷不一樣。躺在病床上準備施行造口小手術,以方便日後的化療療程。由於只是局部麻醉,我一邊仔細的聽着護士的指引,一面看着坐在我旁,為我打氣的大姐,心中充滿了感恩。

回想知道發病到現在,每朝醒來我都問自己是否在發悪夢。一連串的約診和檢驗,把人累得不過來。但這刻躺在病床上,我知道主今天要我學習的,是當一個順服的病人,學習讓別人照顧,和領受當中許多有形無形的壓力。但須如此,主的話沒有一刻離開我,在約15:5 耶穌說:我是葡萄樹,你們是枝子。常在我裡面的,我也常在他裡面。

下周一開始將展開八次化療療程,約為期四個月,身體也將面臨許多變化,例如掉頭髮、失去味覺或暈眩等等現象。但無論怎樣,一天的難處一天當就好了,以平常心去面對未可知的將來,找緊上主給我們的應許,好好地為每天的生命感恩,不就是已經很足夠了嗎?

衹有祝福!

六月十二日,又是一個一生難忘的日子。經過兩個多月的身體檢查,證實了體內長了一個七厘米長的腫瘤。由於腫瘤生長快速,醫生决定儘快做手術把它切除。早上七点半到達醫院,先做了一輪掃描,約一点左右預備手術。由於自己除了自然分娩外,沒有動手術的經驗,這趟感覺頗為特別。

自己換好了衣服,行進了一間頗大的手術室。手術床在正中央,沒有想像中冰冷的感覺。房內站了五、六個臉帶微笑又有点緊張的醫護人員,我的專科醫生正站在另一邊準備。像許多電視劇集一般,室內播放着柔揚的音樂。我躺在床上,打開雙手,還沒來得及數一至十,痲醉藥已發生功效,使我沉沉的進了睡鄉。約四時半,自己開始慢慢甦醒過來。由於痲醉藥未過,在半醒半睡中,我感到自己很舒適地躺在一幅厚厚的青草地上,有種初嚐天堂的感覺。我合着雙眼,不太願意醒過來,感恩喜悅的眼淚靜悄悄的往下淌,嚇得旁邊的護士還不停地問着我是否傷口疼痛。

由於自己認定基督是我生命的主,衪有絕對主權讓我經歷這趟火之旅,一切都有衪的美意,故此心裡大致平靜安穩,天天學習數算主恩,一切榮耀屬主!

詩篇二十三;

23:1  〔 大 衛 的 詩 。 〕 耶 和 華 是 我 的 牧 者 . 我 必 不 至 缺 乏 。23:2  他 使 我 躺 臥 在 青 草 地 上 、 領 我 在 可 安 歇 的 水 邊 。23:3  他 使 我 的 靈 魂 甦 醒 、 為 自 己 的 名 引 導 我 走 義 路 。23:4  我 雖 然 行 過 死 蔭 的 幽 谷 、 也 不 怕 遭 害 . 因 為 你 與 我 同 在 . 你 的 杖 、 你 的 竿 、 都 安 慰 我 。23:5  在 我 敵 人 面 前 、 你 為 我 擺 設 筵 席 . 你 用 油 膏 了 我 的 頭 、 使 我 的 福 杯 滿 溢 。23:6  我 一 生 一 世 必 有 恩 惠 慈 愛 隨 著 我 . 我 且 要 住 在 耶 和 華 的 殿 中 、 直 到 永 遠 。

A New Page!

Dear beloved daughter,

Today it's the day we should celebrate! Congratulation to you being accepted by the design school, your first choice of university on your list. I knew that it's very difficult for you in the past ten days, every time when you opened the mailbox, there was nothing waiting for you. You were so disappointed of no one answered your phone calls while you were trying to straighten things up. Praise the Lord! He will never forsake us and He hear our prayer!

Yes, mommy is so proud of you, not only because you can attend university and meet many talented people in school, you've been working so hard during all these school years, put up your portfolio of photography and design, everything got pay off now. It's a fresh start! A brand new page is waiting for you: go to a new campus, make new friends, learn new skills and much more ahead of you! How great would that be!

I wish you all the best in your new journey! I can't follow you wherever you go, however, I put my trust in God and He will guide you through all the difficulties. Be passionate of what you are doing, be brave and be humble of learning. Never give up your hope and faith!

Love

Mom
