《你的家族及原生家庭(五)Your family and your family of origin(五)》
感謝主,當你哭得死去活來時,還有家人成為你的安慰與支持。感謝糟糠妻不離不棄,多方安慰陪伴;感謝女兒從美國寄來台灣食品(空運費用比食物還貴)並來信鼓舞:
「Dear Dad, Thank you for letting me know your struggle. I'd be happy to walk alongside with you. I'm not quite sure what else I can do for you and mom. But I'll definitely pray for you guys daily. I know it takes a lot to face one's past, but you're always the person that'll take the courage and just do it, both for God and for the people you love. And I admire that... remember you're going to be a grandpa soon. Everything will be renewed again. Everything will be different. Love, Shin.」
也感謝外甥女、外甥婿寄來台灣零食,又吩咐:「千萬別捨不得吃喔,吃完了再給你們寄去!」家人,總是以愛心「相待」、以信任「等待」。當時,女兒及外甥女兩人皆已懷孕,女兒受孕於我離開教會、無處團契之時;外甥女受孕於神在夢境中告訴我,祂在血泊中重生我那週。感謝小弟不辭勞苦,代為照顧年邁雙親……。
收到女兒寄來腹中十二周胎兒超音波照片,禁不住落下熱淚:「孫子啊,孫子,願你祖父還能留給你尊榮!」那日,從聖經讀到:「先知的講道終必過去,方言終必停止,知識終必消失」但「愛是永存不息的。」(參哥林多前書十三章8節)英文版本譯為:「Love never fails. (NIV)」
