慈爱上帝了我心愿 方小平姊妹感恩分享

敬畏你、投靠你的人,你为他们所积存的,在世人面前所施行的恩惠是何等大呢!耶和华是应当称颂的,因祂在坚固城里向我施展奇妙的慈爱。(经文:诗31:19,21)            

                家乡的电话,传来了母亲摔伤的消息,使我们提前了原准备回家的行程。我们从温州来美国已经15年了,由于经济的原因,一直没有回过家乡。在美国,圣灵感动我信主受洗了,我们的日子也一天比一天好转。这次回家乡,我有两个心愿,一是重温亲情,二是想向年迈的老母亲传福音,使她也能在主的怀抱里享受平安喜乐,和永生的盼望。我知道这件事是有难度的,我祈求主的圣灵感动妈妈,达成我的心愿。

                2月份,我和丈夫一起回到了温州,看望了双方的亲人和乡邻后,我来到妈妈的家。我问妈妈愿意信主吗?妈妈摇摇头表示不愿意,我就ㄧ直求圣灵能感动我母亲愿意成为神的儿女。

                第二天一早,我再次问她的时候,好奇妙!妈妈竟然微笑着点头同意了。于是我握住她的手,带她做了决志祷告,我说一句,她也跟着我说一句。因为我是在美国信主的,当时教会里都是说普通话,所以用温州话我不会祷告,妈妈也不会说普通话。这天却很奇妙妈妈突然用普通话跟我一句一句地做完了决志祷告。然后我又问她,想听圣诗吗?妈妈说她想听。我就给妈妈唱了《主是我最知心的朋友》等诗歌。能够让妈妈在晚年成为主的儿女,我内心真是感到非常的欣慰,有说不出的喜乐, 感谢主!

                回到美国后不到20天的3月23日,温州传来妈妈去世的消息。虽然失去母亲非常悲伤,但我非常感恩、欣慰,神安排我们在妈妈有生之年终于见上一面、更感恩的是带领妈妈信了主,知道妈妈走的时候毫有痛苦,面容十分安详。

                虽然我想用基督教的告别仪式,给妈妈举行追思会,可是姐姐弟弟却认为非要按传统的习俗,请和尚、乐队来大操大办不可。在电话中,我们没有达成共识,我给他们表态:如果按基督教的仪式举行追思会,所有费用我一个人负责,他们若用传统仪式,要请和尚念经的开支,我一分钱也不出。

                那天在回家的路上,我心里其实是不安的,主要对三个方面有担心:一是对于葬礼到底如何举办。如果按传统习俗,作为已经信主的我,是怎么也不愿意的。坚持按自己的想法,家乡强大的传统习俗如何抵抗得过?二是如果一定要抵抗,跟尚未信主的姐姐和弟弟的亲情以后如何维系?三是用传统习俗操办,丧礼的费用要几十万之巨,经济压力太大。           加上如果我真的分文不出,在乡亲面前、在姐弟之间,都会被人家误解,认为我信了基督教,连父母的葬礼都不愿出钱了。所以这三个问题到底如何才能协调好,我心里真是难以决定。

                自从知道妈妈去世,我一直都在祷告,求神阻止他们请和尚,又能维护好亲情,也不要给大家造成太大的经济负担。按照老家的风俗,有人去世,要立即请和尚念一个礼拜的经,并请村民来吃饭。出殡后的那顿酒席,还要随餐赠送每人150元礼金。

                当我回到温州,才知道我们村子里那期间接连死了5个人,妈妈是最后去世。和尚和村民们都被前面办丧礼的人家请去了,在我们那个小地方,一时就请不到和尚。这样妈妈去世后的前面几天,也就没有和尚来念经,一直到火化后的第二天,才请到了一天的和尚。这样,那些原来的仪式也就大大地缩减了,费用也因此减省了20多万元人民币,感谢天父奇妙的作为!

                在丧礼上,神给我一个感动,就是叫我要爱人。于是我拥抱了弟弟、弟妇和姐姐,主动提出了负担村民每人150元礼金的费用,但不支付和尚唸经的钱。这样做,既没有违背我自己的心愿,也分担了丧礼的费用,母亲的葬礼办得很体面,村民们也没有任何议论,而且觉得我们办得很好。

                神的恩典实在是超过我们所求所想,真是非常的奇妙!这样一个在人看来无法处理的难题 ,就这样轻易地给解决了。

                藉着妈妈丧礼的举办,给我一点启发,就是遇到和我们与亲人信仰不同的事情,信主的人只要坚持自己的信仰原则,信心倚靠神,神就会给我们开路,给我们有解决问题的最好办法。

                实在感谢爱我们并垂听我们祷告的主。这样奇妙慈爱,在祂那里有数算不尽的恩典!                          感谢主,荣耀归给独一的真神,耶和华上帝!      

在神没有不能成就的事

狱友林东彪见证分享

敬爱的杨妈妈 主内平安:

                我是一名正在等待审判的罪犯。我原生家庭是佛教徒,拜观音和佛祖。在我被关进来时,感谢上帝,安排了白人的传道人Bob带领我。 从Bob受感动,我信靠主耶稣基督,是家里第一个信主的人。但我信心不够,需要你们为我祈祷,求主耶稣和天父以怜悯恩慈拯救我。赐我在终审那天可以轻判刑期,也希望圣灵和我同在,使我有幸做主的工人,传扬主的救恩。愿天父看顾我家人,赦免他们的过犯,带领他们信主,赐平安恩惠给他们。

                收到由杨妈妈转来的夏建国「成长见证篇」、英文版的「Our Daily Bread」、中文版「每日箴言」。中文和英文版,我都有订阅,我订了很多很多的中文和英文属灵杂志和学习圣经的书籍,我非常的丰富了。如果没有的话,我会不客气向你们索取的。

                近来,我为神的缘故服事人有所收穫。带领两只迷失的羊,走进神的家,成为我们基督里的弟兄(肢体)。我又建立了「Faith Prayer Group」从7个人增加到快30人,愿意进来向主倾诉心声。我提议他们登记名字进来祈祷,目的是我可以为他们代求。这些人都是圣灵感动带领进来的,虽不一定是真信徒或真基督徒,但不管怎样,救恩的门总是打开了。盼望有一天圣灵感动,他们就会决志成为真门徒,感谢神的恩典和教导、勉励,我看着人数慢慢增加,特别高兴。可是要他们一起研读圣经,就没几个了。他们是有信心而没行为的人,我会尽心尽力去做好,相信日后会有更多的羊被主得着而与我同工,愿主成就。圣经林前十五:38:「你们务要坚固,不可动摇,常常竭力多作主工,因为知道你们的劳苦,在主里不是徒然的。」

                感谢主,我已经学会不为明天忧虑了,不去想不开心的事,不老想自己。我把关怀投放在别人身上,处处为别人着想,和那些软弱的弟兄一起哭、一起笑,把明天的事情交给主,相信主会领我行过死荫的幽谷。可是撒旦知道牠的阴谋在我身上失效,便把目标转移到我二姐家人身上。牠知道我很在乎二姐,现在使我二姐落在困难中。我不住为二姐家祈求神开路,全心交托给神,不疑惑。信主的路上有坎坷,有高低不平,只要不放弃,努力挑战肉体和外在的冲击,坚持不懈,相信主必施恩、眷顾。

                感谢杨妈妈一直的关心鼓励,神的话和应许是不落空的,在神没有不能成就的事。

主佑 身体健康,喜乐常在。

                                    主内 林东彪敬上

    I would like to express some appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this particular circumstance. Because of looking through the world-wide-web and seeing recommendations which are not helpful, I believed my life was well over. Existing without the solutions to the issues you have resolved by way of your article is a serious case, and the ones that might have badly affected my entire career if I hadn't encountered your web site. That know-how and kindness in handling almost everything was very helpful. I don't know what I would have done if I had not come across such a point like this. It's possible to at this time relish my future. Thanks very much for the professional and sensible guide. I won't think twice to recommend the sites to anybody who would need guidelines on this area.

    My husband and i got now peaceful when Louis managed to finish up his investigations because of the precious recommendations he acquired using your web page. It's not at all simplistic to just always be handing out information other people might have been making money from. We really acknowledge we have the writer to be grateful to because of that. The most important explanations you have made, the simple blog menu, the friendships you can aid to instill - it's got mostly extraordinary, and it's really helping our son in addition to the family believe that the subject matter is awesome, and that is wonderfully essential. Thank you for all!

    I needed to send you the very small word to help say thanks over again with the great guidelines you've shown in this case. It was really tremendously generous of you in giving easily just what a few people would have advertised as an e book to earn some money on their own, even more so since you could possibly have done it if you decided. Those thoughts as well acted to be the fantastic way to fully grasp the rest have the same desire just like mine to understand good deal more concerning this matter. I believe there are many more pleasant times in the future for those who scan your blog post.
