每日感恩
最近我在浴室滑了一跤,当时并不痛,过了几天,发现右膝蹲不下来。我去做了跌打及针灸,状况并没消失,直至有一天,右膝痛得无法走路。在这期间我感触良多。当我们生病或身体不适时,才会感到无病无痛是多么大的恩赐。 能健康的活着,每天能吃,能睡,能行,能看,能听,能讲…… 这些都值得感恩。
我的一个同龄的同学告诉我,现在年纪大了,身体开始出问题才体会到母亲当年说的:“今天真好,哪里都不痛……。”当时不明白,为什么不痛就是好日子,现在自己也开始身体不适才明白了,身入其境才有同感。
有对比,才有感觉,吃过苦,方知甜。当顺境时,样样都好,我们会觉得一切都是理所当然,忘记了从上而来的得之不易。逆境和苦难是对我们的提醒,提醒我们不要忘记上帝。对上帝赐给我们的一切,我们都应当心存感谢。在日常生活中,不要忘记对旁人说谢谢,对上帝说谢谢,每日不忘感恩。也因为我们是基督徒,有信仰,有依靠,在生病及逆境中仍然信靠上帝,相信上帝会医治,会引导, 带领我们渡过难关。
哥林多后书9:15
感谢神,因他有说不尽的恩赐。
Thanksgiving everyday
I slipped in the bathroom recently and it didn't hurt at the moment. After a few days, I found that I couldn't bend down with my right knee. I went for massage and acupuncture, but the condition did not disappear until one day, my right knee was so painful that I couldn’t walk. During this period, I felt a lot. When we are sick or unwell, we starting feel the great gift of being free from illness and pain. To be able to live healthy, to eat, to sleep, to walk, to see, to hear, and to speak is worthy of to thank for.
One of my classmates of the same age told me that now I am getting older and my body is having problems, I realized what my mother said back then: “It’s a good day today, I have no pain ...” I didn’t understand at the time why to have no pain is a good day? Now that I am starting to feel unwell, I understand it, and I feel the same when I am in it.
Only when there is contrast, there is feeling, and after bitterness, sweetness is known. When things go well, everything is good, and we will take everything for granted, forgetting the hard work from above. Adversity and suffering are reminders to us, reminding us not to forget God. We should be thankful for everything that God has given us. In our daily lives, don’t forget to say thank you to others, say thank you to God, and never forget to be grateful every day. It is also because we are Christians, have faith and relied on. We trust God even in sickness and adversity. We believe that God will heal, guide and lead us through difficulties.
2 Corinthians 9:15
Praise be to God for what he has given, which words have no power to say.
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
