「我们的盼望和喜乐并所夸的冠冕是什么呢?岂不是我们主耶稣来的时候,你们在祂面前站立得住吗?因为你们就是我们的荣耀、我们的喜乐。」(帖撒罗尼迦前书二:十九至二十)						
							
	二○二二年二月十四日上午收到李靖惠导演的微信:「杨妈妈于昨天晚上二月十三日九点○五分安息主怀!」这使我内心泛起了对这位神的使女深刻的思忆。杨妈妈真是我属灵的母亲和敬虔的榜样。她退休后移居美国纽约,一九九○年神给她负担,参加了一对爱主的基督徒夫妇创办的「纽约播恩传播中心」,那时她到处采访弟兄姊妹,搜集信徒蒙恩或事奉的美好见证,每个礼拜在当时的国语广播电台和中文报纸分享,并藉着印制这些见证单张向北美华人传扬基督的大爱和救恩,我也因此在杨妈妈的帮助下信主蒙恩。
	记得那是一九九六年的年底,在纽约Green Haven的受刑人阿豪,因杨妈妈的带领信了主耶稣,他就写信给当时与我一同在Shawangunk受刑的狱友金祥传福音。但那时金祥和我都是血气方刚的华人,对基督的大爱救恩一无所知;在逆境中的我,对美国政客的伪善就极之恨恶,于是本能地误以为基督教是美帝的宗教而已,所以就先入为主的对信仰基督极为反感。
	第二天,金祥叫我代他给阿豪和杨妈妈回信。那时我们都是以不信的心态和俗世的眼光来向阿豪和杨妈妈提出了一些质疑。认为基督信仰和其它宗教都一样,只是人为的,根本就是不现实、不可信的。大约一个星期之后,杨妈妈很和善、很关心的给我回信,劝我安心的认真阅读圣经,就必会明白主耶稣的福音真理,而真理也必会使我得着真正的自由。可是那时,并没有将杨妈妈给我的来信放在心上。	
	感谢上帝的怜悯,经过了两年的时间,我在Shawangunk服刑期间发生了很多不同的经历,时常回想起杨妈妈的来信中,劝导我应该如何谦卑的安心寻求主。一九九八年十月我蒙恩得救,接受了主耶稣做我个人的救主和生命的主宰。于是我就以基督徒的身份给杨妈妈写信,为自己两年前以不信的心向杨妈妈质疑所写的信而道歉,同时也与杨妈妈分享我信主之后的喜乐和自由。
	过了几天,就收到了杨妈妈的回信,她因我悔改信主而为我喜乐和感恩。杨妈妈用主耶稣的话来鼓励我:「一个罪人悔改,在天上也要这样为他欢喜,较比为九十九个不用悔改的义人欢喜更大。」(路加福音十五:七)自此杨妈妈几乎每个礼拜都给我写信,并寄见证单张和福音书籍给我,有时一个礼拜会收到杨妈妈好几封信,直到二○一五年七月,我从移民局拘留所回返中国温州为止。
	在这二十来年的漫长岁月里,她老人家也与无数的受刑人通信,把基督的大爱救恩带给他们……最使我震憾的是,在通信不长的一段时间,杨妈妈为了安慰我在患难中受苦、受伤的心灵,她将自己生命中最伤痛的经历都与我分享,例如:她在二十二岁左右,从家乡广东汕头去台湾结婚之后,她就再也没有机会再见自己的双亲;另外她的第二个儿子,一个才二十五岁一米九身高的健壮青年,被有毒的蚊子叮到而患了脑炎至死。本来他在明年就可退役,结果却在这意想不到的情况下,杨妈妈捧着第二个儿子的骨灰罈回家!她告诉我,当时只有举目望天,向上帝哭诉……,而信实的神藉着圣经中自己的话赐下安慰和平安,让她逐渐放下丧子的悲痛和哀伤,圣灵使她的心奇妙的充满着盼望和喜乐!我相信世人都会避讳谈及自己伤心的往事,特别是父母与儿子生离死别、悲痛万分的经历。如果再去回忆或重述,真的好像在已愈的伤口上狠狠的、深深的再刺上几刀。		
	我觉得这是一般世人真的承受不了的事情!那时杨妈妈已经七十多岁了,她能从容的安然与我分享这些往事,使我更加确定神在这位老人家身上的奇妙作为。因此,杨妈妈的信心也成了我效法的榜样,使我学习信靠上帝的话语,就是我信心最可靠的凭据。因为神说有就有,命立就立,真正的信心就是建立在神话语的根基上,作为信仰的把握,再也不需要别的凭据。		
	在我漫长乏味的二十年监禁生涯中,每当我心情低落和哀痛的时候,杨妈妈都一直安慰我说:「上帝没有应许人生在世,天天都是天色常蓝,花香常漫,但是祂应许与信靠祂的人共同经过苦难,与仰望祂的人一同行过死荫的幽谷。」	
	二○○六年的某一天,杨妈妈在信中告诉我,医生宣告她的大儿子已是肝癌末期,只有三个月的生命,这时医生什么也不能做,没有人能做什么,只有仰望掌管一切的神,她要求我与她同心为她的大儿子祷告。杨妈妈表示赏赐在予耶和华,收取也在于耶和华;生命是主所赐,主若赐她大儿子得医治,我们感谢。如果不是,她愿顺服主的旨意,求主免去她大儿子的痛苦,赐他有属天的平安。		
	结果,主赐她和大儿子全家有主的平安和盼望。三个月后,她五十七岁的长子也先她而去。白髮人送黑髮人,虽然她不知道为什么,但是她愿意顺服全能上帝的旨意,因为神应许祂的恩典够我们用,杨妈妈也刚强地表示自己每天领受神的看顾,神无微不至的恩典数算不尽。
	二○○七年,我也经历了丧母之痛。杨妈妈就用她经历大儿子的离世之哀痛,并因顺服主得平安与我再次的分享。她提醒我要专心仰望主和祂的应许,生老病死是人生的过程,就是因为世人犯罪带来的苦难和死亡。每一个人只能来到主的面前,而得到永生和平安。感谢主的怜悯,二○一四年八月我获得假释,重拾人身自由,杨妈妈也为我欣慰!		
	后来,我在纽约水牛城附近的移民拘留所呆了半年,杨妈妈不断的来信,把我当自己的孩子一样的关心和鼓励,直到我如愿回返在中国温州的家里。尽管我们终止了长达二十年来的书信来往,在我回温州之后,杨妈妈一直都与我保持电子邮件和微信视频聊天的联系。虽然后来杨妈妈的记忆力减退,但是她对我仍然记忆清晰,她真的开心到不得了。		
	当杨妈妈瞭解到我回国之后,不但蒙主保守望主,并参与家乡地方教会的服侍,同时也蒙主恩待,娶得贤慧的妻子,杨妈妈为我深感欣慰。这使我想起了使徒保罗对帖撒罗尼迦教会的信徒所说的话:「我们的盼望和喜乐并所夸的冠冕是什么呢?岂不是我们主耶稣来的时候,你们在祂面前站立得住吗?因为你们就是我们的荣耀、我们的喜乐。」(帖撒罗尼迦前书二:十九至二十)	
	二○二○年十一月,弟兄姐妹的民主投票,选我为教会总负责主任。这是一份义务工作,我的妻子极力的支持我在教会里的全时间事奉。如果没有妻子同心的支持、因感恩而报恩的服事主和对教会的信心,我就无法安心的放下世界的一切来专心的安心事奉。感谢主赐给我这位贤慧的妻子!才德贤妻的价值真是远胜过珍珠,让我心里倚靠她,必不缺少利益,她确实使我有益无损。
	杨妈妈虽然离开了我们,到了主所应许、所预备的地方。但她以九十七岁高龄安息主怀,不但有福,而且是好得无比,她息了自己在世上的劳苦,作工的果效也随着她。我深深的明白杨妈妈谦卑柔和的风范,让许多人在她身上看见神奇妙的作为,令人敬畏这位独一的真神。她顺服神的旨意,成就了主在她身上美好的见证,真是主无愧的使女。我为她感到欣慰和感恩,相信她敬虔的一生留给家人的,是一笔宝贵的神国遗产,使后代都因她受益蒙福!所有一切荣耀归神!	
	二○二二年九月三日
