感動

過了一般沒靈魂的日子

久違的感覺重駐於心

先是迷亂   失望

現在   是感動



這星期   為不同的感動流過不少淚

現在才明瞭感動的美好

因   這是愛最直接的憑證



讓我們暫且放下自己的事

用心    感受身邊的一切

四周    滿是感動    

滿是    愛 ♥

Rearing Bunny

Among the choices of pet, I would always want a puppy due to its loyalty and reflectional love towards its owner.

For the less intellectually developed animals, I would not even considered them.

Except for fish, only for the pleasure in feeding them.



I have never had a personal interest in rearing a rabbit.

And a conversation with my colleague, Mr. C, today has truly changed my attitude in rearing pets.



Mr. C used to have a bunny for 7 years.

Despite its death for 4 years, he is still keeping its photo in his wallet.

He was telling me some of the stories in rearing his little pet this morning.

And I asked him a crucial question, 'Could your bunny recognize you?'

He said, 'No. If I let go of it on the street, that's the end of it."

The question in my mind immediately is, why people can spend so much effort on pets which can't even recognize their owners. Not mentioning about showing loyalty and love.



Suddenly, some words just blinked in my mind.

'Does love count on return?'



My question towards pets has been fully answered.


As well as towards 'love'.

兩個二十六歲的女孩

一個二十六歲的女孩, 她生在小康之家

憑著天賦的小聰明大學畢業

並擁有稱心如意的愛情與事業

她從小就把自己關在幻想中的自我王國裡

終日追求永無休止的欲望

除了自己, 什麼都不愛.



 

反看另一個二十六歲的女孩...

【時代論壇訊】任教於香港中文大學崇基神學院的著名教授溫偉耀博士,其幼
女曉華於二月十一日因病安息主懷,其安息禮拜剛於日前在加拿大城北華人基
督教會舉行,享年二十六歲。
溫偉耀早前透過電郵向神學院師生分享這事時表示:「我們的心碎了!但沒有
改變我們對上帝的信任──縱然有千個不明白。」
患有嚴重智障的曉華是於今年一月底被送進醫院的緊急深切治療部,送院時已
昏迷、體溫極低、血液有藥物中毒情況、呼吸困難、心臟接近衰竭,當時醫生
對溫偉耀夫婦表示這是見她的最後一面;但因著上帝的憐憫,曉華奇蹟地從死
亡邊緣走回來,不過仍處昏迷狀態,心臟仍然衰弱,需靠儀器呼吸。至二月十
一日,曉華終按神的旨意返回天家。
(www.christiantimes.org.hk,時代論壇每日快拍,2008.2.20)

再見,曉華
溫偉耀、溫葉麗芬


摯愛的曉華:


二十六歲,應該是女孩散發著青春、躍動於愛情和事業之間的時刻,妳
卻在煙花燦爛的節日中,被天父接回天家了。


自從妳兩歲半的那一天,爸爸緊抱著妳突然抽筋的小身軀,嚇得腦袋一
片空白;到昨天在妳彌留的床邊,無助的我們看著妳掙扎著呼吸。二十四年
了,我們問過了無數次:如果有些人,生下來就是為了受苦,他們的生命究
竟有甚麼意義?


後來,我們想到了耶穌。他不就是為了受苦而生、因為痛苦至極而死嗎?
我們就只有默然。


曾經在一次神學生的聚會中,有同學請爸爸舉出一生之中影響我最深刻
的三位神學家。爸爸舉出了創立中國內地會的宣教偉人戴德生(Hudson
Taylor)和本色神學家倪柝聲。然後說:「剩下的一個,就是我那位在人看
為嚴重智力殘障的女兒溫曉華。」大家有點不明所以。是的,在人看來,妳
是一個連拿起筆桿畫一個圓圈都不懂得的弱者。但上帝偏偏就是揀選、差派
了妳進入我們的生命裡,教曉了我們許多博士學位永遠唸不到的學問。


一位古代東方的智者有一天對眾門生說:「今天我想介紹我的老師給你
們認識。」眾人正驚訝這位學問智慧高超的老師的老師,會是怎樣的一位高
人?智者從懷裡掏出一顆小石塊,說:「這就是我的老師。」眾人不明所以。
智者說:「有一天,我趕路去講學。路上忽然腳底一痛,原來這顆小石塊跌
進我的草鞋裡。我惟有停下來,蹲在地上把它挑出來。當我停下來的時候,
發現原來周遭的景物竟是如斯美麗,腳旁的一朵小白花也叫我悟到生命的燦
爛。每天我都是匆匆的經過,卻是這塊石令我停下來,有機會悟出人生的大
道理。你們說,是不是這顆小石塊竟成了我的啟蒙老師?」


曉華,妳就是我們生命中的這顆小石塊。因為妳帶給我們的苦困,因為
妳的脆弱,令雄心勃勃的爸爸在名譽和地位的路上,被迫一次又一次的停下
來。然後,我們才有機會,觸摸許許多多受苦的心靈和他們人性的尊嚴。孩
子,謝謝妳。是妳將我們從成就的迷路中挽回來。妳無偽的笑臉、不造作的
眼淚,叫我們有愧於自己的真我。在妳單純的世界裡,我們提醒自己:人是
否真的需要那麼複雜的娛樂節目,才可以滿足?謝謝妳,孩子,我們的好老
師。


曉華,我們始終相信,妳是從上帝派來的天使──吃盡人間痛苦卻仍然
純美無暇的天使。現在,妳的任務完成了,就被天父召回天庭。爸媽很幸福,
竟然接待了天使!
我們無法不掛念妳。但想到妳在天上的笑臉,縱然心碎,卻有微笑。


爸爸、媽媽
二八年二月十二日


(後記:曉華的一生充滿了傳奇,上帝藉著她把身邊的人也變得傳奇起來。
在她的安息禮拜,有對她深切認識的人寫了很感人的文章;一位自己也有個
智障兒的弟兄,三天不眠不休的為曉華製作了她精釆生命的錄映;還有,那
些素未謀面的主內弟兄姊妹,如泉水般湧進安息禮拜的教堂……。這一切,
我們都很願意與每一位聽過「溫曉華」這個名字的人分享。有關懷我們的弟
兄,為曉華設立了一個臨時的網頁,讓大家可以更了解、貼近她的生命,也
可以寫下你的分享。網址是:

誰的生命更有意義?


Finally I understand...

Life WAS hell in the last couple of days

As though I had lost the most precious one in life.

"How can I carry my life on?"

I kept asking myself the same question over and over again.



He said, 'You never understand who I am.'

After his last "Goodbye'

I understood it was really 'the end' of us.

Holding back my tears, I started to read his xanga entries since the day we met

And stopped at where we walked together.



The more I read, out of my expectation, the less painful was my heart.

I begin to see the whole picture better.

"We have never been together' - just as he said.

Instead, I was Lord's messager to spread Gospel to him.



Once again, I regain joy and peace from Lord.

He lets me to realize that, I'm  far from the time to be mated

Due to my little faith and love in Him.



In this Easter, our 'relationship' was being crucified with Jesus

And now, we are raised with Him in love -

To let each other to have a better life.



Thank you Cheung, my brother in Lord, for showing me how to love.

I will be stronger in Lord. I am sure.

<回家>


步伐是否感覺疲倦了?現實令你感到無奈?
只懂每日每夜忙碌裡,兜兜轉轉,似沒了沒完。
但願讓你知道神是愛。

在路上每一秒同在,可否接受這份純真愛?
一生歡欣,快樂精彩。
回家,將傷痛放下,看透俗世謊話,
迷失漆黑中,祂總把你念掛;

回家,即使新世代全然皆冰冷,
在這屋裡,有主的愛,別再怕,
在這屋裡,有主的愛,不要害怕。
