天父的爱 林荣臻弟兄得救蒙恩见証分享(一)

我曾寻求耶和华,他就应允我,救我脱离了一切的恐惧。凡仰望他的便有光荣,他们的脸必不蒙羞。我这困苦人呼求,耶和华便垂听,救我脱离一切患难」(诗篇三十四:四至六) 
	父亲节对我来说是一个使我情感相当复杂的日子,为何有如此感受?原因可能是我对父亲的爱认知和感受都很贫乏,甚至何谓「爱」?我亦无法表达。童年时,没有感受到的就是爱,没有看到的也都是爱,印象中整个童年都是活在惧怕和没有安全感的环境中。从小就在一所基督教圣公会办的学校就读,在学校里常常听到:「神就是爱,神是我们的天父!」那是当时的我绝不可能接受的讯息。
	我是长子,还有两个弟弟、一个妹妹和一个同父异母的弟弟。我的童年在基本上是没有任何快乐的回忆,自有记忆开始,每天的家庭生活都是争执和吵闹,很少看见家人和睦相处,反而经常为了一些没意思的小事而结怨多年,而且互不说话。我们是福州人,上一代争吵的时候,都是用福州话对骂,从很小的时候,我已经不想听和讲这种方言,觉得非常困扰。
	妈妈是个长期病患者,我不知道她患的是什么病?只知道她的双眼不能完全阖闭。在日常的生活里,我甚至不知道她是闭上眼睛,还是没有闭上眼睛。她会毫无征兆随时随地突然休克,失去知觉,有时又会突然扑倒在地上。记得有一次,妈妈在烧晚饭的时候,站立着失去知觉,手放在火水炉上燃烧着,她没有尖叫,只是没有感觉地站着,什么反应也没有,幸好伯父发觉有烧焦的气味,才知道她已经失去知觉,随后赶紧将她送去医院。对妈妈的另一个印象,就是她常常哭泣,曾多次发现她躲在洗手间里,偷偷地哭泣。印象最深刻的就是有一次,有一位员警来家访,我才知道她曾经试图在渡海小轮上跳海自杀,但是没有成功。我完全没有任何有关妈妈的笑容记忆与印象。	
	父亲给我的印象就是时常充满心事,每日放工回家的时候,我们就会相当紧张和忧虑。我只看见父亲的愁眉苦脸,知道他大部份时间都不开心。父亲生活非常节俭,很少看见他穿新衣服,所以我也没有新衣服,校服和便服一齐穿用。但却知道父亲是一个相当有责任感和非常尽责的人,但不知何故?我感受不到他的爱,只感受到他的不快乐。
	小学六年级的时候,家里发生突变,妈妈再次试图自杀而被送入医院。我非常清楚记得那天是农曆年二十八,家里正在大扫除。妈妈离开世界的那一天是农曆年初二,当爸爸接到玛丽医院的紧急来电,带我去医院的途中,我祈祷求神不要让妈妈离开,那是我第一次向我不认识的天父祈祷。当我们到达医院时,看见妈妈已经被一片白布盖着,已没有任何气息,护士对我们说:「她已经离世了。」	
	看着妈妈的遗体,我当时不知道怎样形容心中的感受,直到现在也想不起当时的感觉。我没有哭,只告诉自己神是假的,即使神是真的存在,也是个没有用的神。只感到人与人之间太多问题和怨恨,我的心中不停地问神:「为什么妈妈会离开我们几个子女?如果天父有爱,为何世间充满怨恨?」	
	在妈妈的丧礼中,长子要帮妈妈洗脸。我的个子不高,当和妈妈的遗体面对面的时候,只能用恐惧两个字形容。往后的日子,家里内的争闹也没有停止,还时常给邻舍的孩子们欺负,取笑我们说:「有爹生,没娘教!」每次经过邻舍,或碰见那些邻居孩子的时候,常常给他们耻笑和咒骂,有时甚至给他们围困,被迫听他们的辱骂。因此,经常和他们打架,内心充满很多怨恨。在学校里不愿跟同学交谈,更不愿提起自己的家事。	
	在唸中学二年级时,祖母吊颈自杀后,我们要搬迁,不能再住在原来的地方,家里的每一个人都很惶恐。因父亲要上班,最小的弟弟和妹妹要寄住在伯父家,由伯娘照顾。每次探望他们,就会听到他们给同学欺负的消息,心中对世界的怨恨不断地增加。爸爸在我读中学五年级那一年再婚,因为后母不喜欢妹妹,经常在精神上虐待妹妹。我不想居留在家中,很想逃避所有的问题。中学毕业后,我和父亲的关系跌到了冰点。	
	后来,我交了女朋友,以工作为藉口,常常故意早出晚归,不想和家人碰面。直到有一天,因病提早下班,在巴士上看见一位女学生,觉得很面善,后来才发觉她原来是自己的妹妹。我逃避得太长久了,竟然不认得自己的妹妹,便躲藏在巴士上层的座位上,不让妹妹看见自己偷偷地在哭泣。心中想起对妹妹的亏欠,罪恶感不停地涌现,开始思考我的人生,为何兄妹好像不是一家人?人生的方向是什么?做人又是为了什么呢?	
	父亲一直都有出国梦,他为我筹备和安排在纽约唐人街与陌生人进行假结婚。但我在香港已有女朋友和工作,加上与父亲的关系一向都不好,所以没有听从他的计谋。因我的不听从,加剧了父子间的决裂,我甚至想从此了断父子关系,或是离开这个充满痛苦的家庭。最后,我选择出国留学而拒绝了假结婚。	
	于是,找伯父帮忙,申请去加拿大留学,但伯父只是帮忙担保,而不提供学费及生活上的支援,所以我要自付学费和生活费,还需要找工作赚钱来供养自己。很奇妙地,我竟然顺利地得到加拿大的学生签证,但经过当地的好朋友相劝和瞭解到实际情况后,我办了美国旅游签证来美国。我来美国只有一个目的,就是拚命地工作来赚取和储蓄日后的生活费和学费。	
	一九八九年七月四日离开香港来到美国,找到售货员和中餐馆的工作。由于没有详细地瞭解情况,只是凭电影中的情节,以为在美国工作非常容易,其实没有工作签証,打工是不合法的。因为过了截止註册入学的日期,亦未能够及时储蓄到足够的金钱留学,所以便没有到加拿大读书。在偶然的机会下,发现美国纽约市大学的学费比加拿大的大学便宜很多,所以就在纽约申请读大学。	
	因为没有亲人担保,所以在美国成为了非法移民。在美国,我遇到很多困难,例如:文化差异、种族排斥等,加上在香港的女朋友决定跟我分手,她的理由是看不见我们的将来。这对我打击非常大,在遥远的异乡没有朋友,孤身一人,人生好像走到低谷,看不见出路。	
	在人生的低潮中,思绪不断浮现童年时的境况。内心挣扎和怨恨不断加剧,没有平安。在一个下雨天的黄昏,因雨势太大,所以餐厅堂食没有生意,但外卖生意相当火热。老板吩咐要帮忙送外卖,于是,在没有雨衣的情况下送外卖。当时,我被雨水淋得全身湿透,在曼哈顿百老汇大道骑着脚踏车,途中有不少的计程车擦身而过,有时还会触碰到身旁的计程车,外族司机也会用轻视的眼神向我回望。	
	脑海里的怨恨突然爆发,情绪骤然失控,口中一直责骂神。骂祂为什么要不断地打击我?在人生中不停地打击,长大后也把我放在难堪的景况。于是,我竟然闭上眼睛,疯狂地在百老汇大街骑着脚踏车横冲直撞。我要挑战神,说:「如果要取我的命,现在就来取我的命吧!」但很奇怪,竟然没有事,只是病了几天就復原了。	
	就在生病的时候,在住所发现了一张布道会的传单,布道会的日期已经过了很久。因为我不相信有神,所以凡是基督教的传单,一概不接。但是那一张传单是一位满脸笑容的少女递给我的,感觉很特别,当她双手把传单递给我的时候,感受到了她那充满感染力的笑容,和那一份真诚,很渴望地希望我接受这个邀请,所以便把传单收下没有丢掉。可是我却没有参加那个布道会,只是不经意地把这一份传单随意地放在一旁,竟然就在我生病的时候,无意中在枕头下找回这张传单,当时我心中孤寂的感觉非常强烈,所以看见那张传单,就好想去教会认识些新朋友。(未完待续)

    The US national debt is a enormous economic issue that continues to increase at
    an unprecedented rate. According to the most recent data from the national debt clock, the
    overall borrowings of the United States is closing in on a staggering quintillion dollars.


    This massive figure of debt raises significant concerns about the country's
    economic stability and future. Economists warn that if major steps are not taken soon, the US could face grave consequences.


    The debt counter continuously keeps a record of various figures related
    to the debt in real time. For example, it shows the present borrowings per individual, which is remarkably high.
    It also presents the amount of debt accrued since inception of the year, which
    is growing rapidly.

    One of the most alarming elements of the US debt clock is the
    borrowings per instant counter, which shows how fast the debt is expanding.
    It's shocking to see how many capital the US government is borrowing every moment.


    The US debt clock serves as a perpetual cue of the urgent need for financial
    prudence and adjustments in federal expenditure.

    Dealing with the debt is crucial to guaranteeing a robust and successful future for the US.


    In conclusion, the national debt clock is a potent graphic representation of the enormous indebtedness challenging the
    United States. This warns us of the urgency of controlling the national debt and taking necessary steps to safeguard financial
    stability.

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
    I am looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!
