感謝主賜平安喜樂	
	曹金菊華姊妹蒙恩見証分享(一)
耶和華有憐憫,有恩典,不輕易發怒,且有豐盛的慈愛。他不長久責備,也不永遠懷怒。他沒有按我們的罪過待我們,也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。(詩篇一○三:八至十)	

	我在一九四八年出生於中國江蘇省,自小是在農村長大。因我爸爸是個裁縫師,但當時裁縫行業的收入,也難以維持一家的生活。在無奈和無選擇的情況下,祇得和一班稱兄道弟的鄉親們一起來到香港尋找工作和出路,但當時的香港社會想要找一工半職,實在是不容易,所以父親祇得拋棄家庭,把妻子和兒女留在鄉裡,獨自來到香港尋找工作,等到父親在香港有了落腳地,安頓下來就接我媽媽去香港與我爸爸團聚。	
	當時我只有六歲,父母便不在身邊,於是便和我祖父母、大姐、哥哥,還有我的大伯伯的三個孩子一起生活。因我的大伯伯英年早逝,所以我的伯娘不可能一個人帶著六個小孩,又要兼顧工作,所以祇好分配寄養。然而在我父母離開鄉間之前,已把房屋整頓好,然後才請我的祖父母看顧我們三兄妹,而且我父母保証ㄧ直養到我祖父母終老,並且每個月按時寄生活費給我祖父母。		
	到我九歲那年,哥哥和姐姐相繼也被我父母接去香港,惟獨留下我伴祖父母終老。但祖母不是我的親生祖母,是繼祖母,她不喜歡我.對我非常刻薄,她認為她是長輩.我是小孩,她高高在上,惟我獨尊,祖母看我是孩子,而她是大人從來不會與我講話,對我講話,一是命令,二是責罵;常常不是打便是罵。我很怕她,總是想討她歡心,使她開心,但是無論我做得多麼努力,她對我的刻薄和討厭,毫無改變,不但不會顧及我生理和心理的需求,更加不會顧及我的感受,遭受她的橫蠻毒打,已是家常便飯。	
	有一次,祖母出門之前,曾撫摸過我們家養的一隻雞,認為當日牠一定會下蛋。晚上她回到了家,卻找不到那隻蛋,便冤枉我偷吃了那隻蛋。我根本沒有吃,自然就不承認,她便毒打逼供,不給我吃晚飯,還將我綁在對著大門口天井的柱子上示眾和羞辱,作為懲罰,就像我是犯了什麼滔天大罪似的。	
	她追問我吃了蛋的蛋殼放在哪裡?結果毒打成招,不過招的是假口供,因我根本無吃過蛋,何來有蛋殼?那時,童心天真單純,心想:「我家門前有條小溪.如果我說把蛋殼扔在小溪裡,我又怕她去找,找不到又怕會再遭毒打。若是扔在大河裡,她便沒法找了。」於是,我便說:「我已經把蛋殼扔在大河裡了。」若是小孩子真的偷吃了一隻蛋,用得著這樣小題大做嗎?孩子餓成這樣,還沒有煮熟的蛋都要吃,心痛都來不及,還會捨得這樣毒打嗎?這祇是其中發生的一件事而已,還有許多許多例子,難以列舉。	
	祖母有很多契仔契女,她都會熱情招待他們,供食供住。她總是對人說:「阿菊年紀小,不需要吃些什麼,將來有得吃。」她說得對,我一生所吃過的東西,有些連名稱她也從沒聽過。但她又害怕我會生病,又怕我會病死,然後會怕斷了她的長糧,她心裡害怕我死了之後,我的父母不再匯錢給她。村民看在眼裡敢怒不敢言,於是就把我苦不堪言的情況寫信給我媽媽,讓她知道不能把我留在鄉下,要申請我去香港。在鄉親的扶助下,十六歲便去了香港。	
	到了香港之後,國內便發生文化大革命.我便逃過一劫。我的故事是否有點像聖經《創世記》第三十七章裡的約瑟呢?因祖母的惡行,我因禍得福,雖然不像約瑟後來那麼飛黃騰達!感謝主的憐憫,坎坷的成長期,並沒有給我做成日後的負面影響,我一點都沒有怨恨祖母,心中祇想到我可以賺錢孝敬她,讓她感受曾經被她虐待過的人,會對她這樣好。可惜我沒有機會這樣做,因為當我賺到一些金錢時,她已不在人世,正如耶穌所說她所做的她不知道,如果她真懂得這樣做,是傷害別人,她也不會這樣做。因為她是文盲,也缺乏正面的教育。	
	如果我祖母還在世的話,第一件事我要做的,就是要修復與她之間破碎的關係,因為耶穌愛我這不完全的人,那麼我又為何要計較祖母對我做些什麼呢?我會將父神和耶穌基督完全的愛和救贖福音傳給她,將她帶到神的跟前,讓她得到神完全的愛,可惜這祇係我的夢想而已,我真想對她講一句:「嬤嬤我愛您,耶穌更愛您。」但我知道不再有這機會。有一次,回鄉探親,我便到處尋找,在她的墳墓上,獻上一束鮮花,這是我對祖母惟一可做的事了。	
	雖然沒有迷信或是去拜過什麼神,但心裡總是有一種說不出的恐懼感。在我們鄉下農村的習俗,一般人過世了,通常會把遺體放在大門的門板上。當我還是小孩時候,心裏十分好奇,又想要去看個究竟,但是回家後,又驚慌又害怕,尤其是我祖父母的棺木,都放在家裡,上面蓋上麻布袋。那棺木是塗上黑色油漆,當要如廁時,必定要經過那棺木擺放的地方,才能通到那小屋內用廁,心裏的那種恐懼真是無法形容。	
	移民去了香港,偶有親友去世,雖然害怕去殯儀館,但是很無奈必須參加喪禮,可是每次在殯儀館內,都不敢單獨去乘搭電梯或去洗手間。每當去醫院探望病人時,也是如此。有時在街上碰見靈車或是看見死了的動物,無論是一隻貓、一隻狗或是一隻雀鳥,心裡面就會有一種不舒服的感覺,整天提心吊膽,擔心所見的那些景像,都是不吉利的預兆。甚至有時眼皮跳動也會害怕,心裡總是沒有平安,心想不知道會有什麼不好的事情,將會發生在我的身上。	
	在一九九○年我和兒子移民美國。我是一位單身母親,既要為工作奔波勞碌,又害怕兒子學壞,真是心力交瘁。自從他去基督教會,相信了主耶穌後,他向我傳福音.勸我信耶穌。頭腦上知道教會是一個好地方,教人學好,但我卻不知道信主是什麼意思?但是看到我兒子去教會後,能夠認識到一群年紀與他相仿的年青人,我便很放心,不再擔心他學壞,但自己始終不願意相信耶穌。	
	後來,經過兒子和教會的弟兄姊妹們,多次給我傳福音和好言相勸我信耶穌基督,心裡想:「信耶穌一定有好處,否則怎麼會有這麼多人相信?我也看到很多信耶穌的人,他們的學歷高、知識廣、職業高尚,對聖經又有深入研究,都會去信耶穌,難道他們都是傻瓜嗎?我這個自幼生長在農村,小學還未畢業的婦人,難道會比別人強嗎?比他們都聰明嗎?」	
	內心常常在掙紮自問,最後終於謙卑下來。感謝主!祂揀選了我這卑賤的人,作為祂的女兒,這身份是何等的高貴。若不是神的憐憫,我何以配得?在二○○○年的復活節,我決志信主,正式宣佈受洗,歸入了基督的名下,成為神兒女。哈利路亞!榮耀歸主名!	
	剛開始信主,沒有感覺到自己有什麼不一樣,可是很奇妙,發覺到我以往的恐懼感一掃而空,去殯儀館多到不知其數,還可以到醫院探病,陪伴年長老人,有時在病床旁邊陪伴病人的整個臨終過程;甚至還可以手握手的直到病人安祥地離世為止。我所提到的並不是我的親人,而祇是朋友或主內的姊妹。感到神大大賜福,我可以參加喪禮,送棺木上山,直到下葬,一點兒恐懼也沒有,已經是百無禁忌,心裡覺得很平安。	
	初移民來美國時,我雖然還未認識耶穌,但祂已給了我好多的普及恩典。雨落在義人的地上,也落在不義人的地上,日頭照好人也照歹人,請問空氣、雨水和陽光有分好或歹人去享用嗎?確是人人不可缺少一份的莫大恩典,無論您是否基督徒都不例外,都能享受這一份恩典,稱之為普及恩典。(未完待續)
二○二二年十月一日

    “We know that the water levels seemed to be higher than they were last summer,” Silva said. “It is a significant amount of water flowing throughout, some of it in new areas that didn’t flood last year.”

    Matt DeMaria, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, said storms formed in the early afternoon over terrain that was scorched last year by wildfire. The burn scar was unable to absorb a lot of the rain, as water quickly ran downhill into the river.

    Preliminary measurements show the Rio Ruidoso crested at more than 20 feet — a record high if confirmed — and was receding Tuesday evening.

    Three shelters opened in the Ruidoso area for people who could not return home.

    The sight brought back painful memories for Carpenter, whose art studio was swept away during a flood last year. Outside, the air smelled of gasoline, and loud crashes could be heard as the river knocked down trees in its path.

    “It’s pretty terrifying,” she said.

    Cory State, who works at the Downshift Brewing Company, welcomed in dozens of residents as the river surged and hail pelted the windows. The house floating by was “just one of the many devastating things about today,” he said.

    Full-time staff numbers are down, too; as of June, the parks service had 12,600 full-time employees, which is 24% fewer staff than they had at the beginning of the year.

    That’s the lowest staffing level in over 20 years, according to Kristen Brengel, senior vice president of government affairs at the National Parks Conservation Association.

    Some parks, including Yellowstone, have increased their staff this year. But with low staffing levels at other parks unlikely to meaningfully improve this year, Kym Hall, a former NPS regional director and park superintendent, told CNN she worries park rangers and other staff could hit a breaking point later this summer.
    “By mid-August, you’re going to have staff that is so burned out,” Hall said. “Somebody is going to make a mistake, somebody is going to get hurt. Or you’re going to see visitors engaging with wildlife in a way that they shouldn’t, because there aren’t enough people out in the parks to say, ‘do not get that close to a grizzly bear that’s on the side of the road; that’s a terrible idea.’”

    The National Park Service did not respond to CNN’s request for comment on its staffing levels.

    Meanwhile, visitors are arriving in droves. Last year set a new record for recreation visits at nearly 332 million, smashing the previous record set in 2016.

    Hall said the process of hiring thousands of seasonal workers for the summer takes months, typically starting in the previous fall or winter to fully staff up.

    “Even if the parks had permission, and even if they had some funding, it takes months and months to get a crew of seasonal (workers) recruited, vetted, hired, boarded into their duty stations, trained and ready to serve the public by Memorial Day,” Hall said.

    Compounding the staffing issue is the fact that many park superintendents, some of whom oversee the most iconic parks like Yosemite, have retired or taken the Trump administration’s deferred resignation offers. That leaves over 100 parks without their chief supervisor, Brengel said.

    And amid the staff losses, staffers normally assigned to park programming, construction, and trail maintenance, as well as a cadre of park scientists, have been reassigned to visitor services to keep up with the summer season.

    The study’s focus on 12 cities makes it just a snapshot of the true heat wave death toll across the continent, which researchers estimate could be up to tens of thousands of people.

    “Heatwaves don’t leave a trail of destruction like wildfires or storms,” said Ben Clarke, a study author and a researcher at Imperial College London. “Their impacts are mostly invisible but quietly devastating — a change of just 2 or 3 degrees Celsius can mean the difference between life and death for thousands of people.”

    The world must stop burning fossil fuels to stop heat waves becoming hotter and deadlier and cities need to urgently adapt, said Friederike Otto, a climate scientist at Imperial College London. “Shifting to renewable energy, building cities that can withstand extreme heat, and protecting the poorest and most vulnerable is absolutely essential,” she said.

    Akshay Deoras, a research scientist at the University of Reading who was not involved in the analysis, said “robust techniques used in this study leave no doubt that climate change is already a deadly force in Europe.”

    Richard Allan, a professor of climate science at the University of Reading who was also not involved in the report, said the study added to huge amounts of evidence that climate change is making heat waves more intense, “meaning that moderate heat becomes dangerous and record heat becomes unprecedented.”

    It’s not just heat that’s being supercharged in out hotter world, Allan added. “As one part of the globe bakes and burns, another region can suffer intense rainfall and catastrophic flooding.”

    ‘Hire back park staff’: Visitors feel the pinch of Trump’s layoffs at National Park Service
    tripscan top
    The visitors who trek to America’s national parks are already noticing the changes, just months after President Donald Trump took office.

    “I’ve been visiting national parks for 30 years and never has the presence of rangers been so absent,” one visitor to Zion National Park wrote in National Park Service public feedback obtained by CNN.

    The visitor said they saw just one trail crew at the iconic Utah park. There were no educational programs offered at any of the five parks they visited on their trip.

    “Hire back park staff. We need them,” the visitor wrote.

    At Yosemite, another visitor said there were no rangers at the Hetch Hetchy reservoir entrance station, preventing visitors from picking up wilderness permits.

    “More staff would be a BIG and IMPORTANT improvement,” that visitor wrote.
    America’s most treasured national parks are getting crunched by Trump’s government-shrinking layoffs just as the summer travel season gets into full swing.
    Top officials vowed to hire thousands of seasonal employees to pick up the slack after the Trump administration fired around 1,000 NPS employees as part of wide-ranging federal firings known as the “Valentine’s Day Massacre.” Department of Interior officials said in a February memo they would aim to hire 7,700 seasonal workers at NPS, and post listings for 9,000 jobs.

    But those numbers haven’t materialized ahead July 4th — the parks’ busiest time of the year. Internal National Park Service data provided to CNN by the National Parks Conservation Association shows that about 4,500 seasonal and temporary staff have been hired.
