Aug16,07 Importance of Sleep+能夠忘記嗎?Able To Forget?+生命

靈命日糧 - 2007年8月16日
能夠忘記嗎?
讀經: 腓立比書1章1-11節
金句: 「我每逢想念你們,就感謝我的上帝。」(腓立比書1章3節)
全年讀經: 詩篇94-96篇;羅馬書15章14-33節

在一個陰冷的冬日,我參加了一位朋友的喪禮。在對逝者致悼詞時,他的遺孀開始大聲哀泣。這時,牧師卻說些奇怪的安慰話:「沒關係,過些時候妳就會忘記了。」
能忘記嗎?那位寡婦的表現,清楚表示她根本不想忘記。對丈夫的珍貴記憶能帶給她迫切需要的安慰和喜樂,並期待著有一日在天上重逢。
上帝給我們許多恩賜,其中最珍貴的一項便是記憶力。人生有太多我們應該忘懷的傷害及失望,但是美好的回憶卻成為無價的寶藏,提醒我們那些情誼和快樂的事。
使徒保羅對於在腓立比教會度過的時光,也有同感:「我每逢想念你們,就感謝我的上帝」(腓立比書1章3節)。他對腓立比友人的懷念,讓他在羅馬等候審判時滿得安慰,也促使他樂於為他們禱告。你絕對無法說服他是因為忘記才得到安慰,因為他實在是由於能夠記住而歡喜。
上帝給我們許多值得珍惜的回憶,當憂傷來臨時要緊緊抓住它們。WEC
在內心的深處,保留的是什麼?是對往昔歲月,所深藏的回憶。Anon.
別讓今日的重擔,抹煞昨天的祝福。

Able To Forget?
ODB RADIO: Listen Now DownloadREAD: Philippians 1:1-11
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. —Philippians 1:3
-->About this cover

On a cold, dreary November day, I attended the funeral of a friend. During the eulogy, the widow began to sob loudly. At that point, the pastor spoke odd words meant to comfort: “That’s okay. Someday you’ll be able to forget.”
Able to forget? The widow’s expression made it clear that she had no desire to forget. Cherished memories of her husband provided a comfort and joy she intended to cling to, anticipating a heavenly reunion someday.
One of the most precious gifts God has given us is the ability to remember. There are plenty of hurts and disappointments in life that we should forget. But good memories become a treasure chest of priceless reminders of relationships shared and joys experienced.
Paul felt that way about his time spent with the church in Philippi: “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you” (Phil. 1:3). His ability to remember his friends in Philippi brought him great comfort as he awaited trial in Rome, prompting him to joyfully pray for them. You could never have convinced him that comfort was found in being able to forget, because he rejoiced in being able to remember.
God gives us cherished memories. Cling to them when sorrows come. —Bill CrowderBill Crowder-->
Where is the heart that does not keepWithin its inmost storeSome fond remembrance hidden deepOf days that are no more? —Anon.
Never let today’s burden erase yesterday’s blessing.

生命 /候文詠 我和一位朋友傾談,他說雖然有兩份工作,而每月的收入卻非常低, 但他已很高興了。我很奇怪他還可以那麼開心,因為他的收入微薄,要節衣縮食才可以供養他年邁的父母、岳父母,太太,兩個女兒,還有一般家庭的各項開支。
他解釋說,那是因為數年前他在印度目睹一件事件的啟發。當時他因為一次重大的挫折、心情低落,所以到印度散心。 他說他親眼看到一個印度婦人,用刀將她的兒子的右手切下來。那婦人無助的眼神,以及四歲稚童痛苦的呻吟,至今仍令他心頭作痛難以釋懷。 你可能會問:為什麼那母親要這樣做?是否她的小孩太頑皮,或是他的手受到感染?都不是,原來只是為了行乞!那絕望的母親特意把孩子弄成傷殘,只是為了使他可以在街上行乞。
我的朋友嚇呆了,他把他吃到一半的麵包放下,隨即有五六個小孩湧至,爭食這片佈滿沙石的麵包,就如面對飢餓時的自然反應。
他對這情景很吃驚,他要導遊開車把他送到最近的麵包店,他去到其中兩家,把所有的麵包都買下來,麵包店的老闆很愕然,不過還是願意把所有都賣給他。他花了不足一百元,就買到約四百塊麵包 (即每塊少於 25仙),又用了一百元買一些日用品。

於是,他坐在一部載滿麵包的貨車往街上去,當他分發麵包和日用品給那些大部份是傷殘的兒童時,他們都報以歡喜和鞠躬,就是這樣,他在生命中第一次想到人們怎麼可以為一片價值不足25仙的麵包而那麼感動。
他開始對自己說,他是多麼的幸運:他有個完整的身軀,有一份工作,有個家庭,有機會抱怨食品的好與壞,有機會穿衣服,有機會擁有很多這些人沒有的東西。
現在,我開始想到和感受到:我的生命是否真的那麼差?也許吧?但想到這故事,我就覺得不是那麼慘。你呢? 或者下一次你覺得自己的生命很差的時候,想想那個因為行乞失去了一隻手的小孩吧! 『滿足感』不是來自去滿足於你想要的,而是能感受到:你所擁有的,已是那麼足夠。
