敬老助老传温情
2020年7月19日星期日下午两点,宜春市袁州区基督教“三自”爱委会辖区的城区片的吴连华姊妹和几位弟兄姊妹,带上爱心和温情,带上笑容和问候,顶着炎炎烈日来到袁州区福利院,看望因疫情而很久不能相见的老年朋友。
弟兄姊妹们买来西瓜,用小汽车运到福利院,将切好的西瓜送到每位老人的手上,他们吃着西瓜,甜在口里、爽在心中、笑在脸上,对因身体行动不便不能走出房间来到大厅的老人,做到不漏一人将西瓜送到房间和床前。
弟兄姊妹们还带上理发工具,为每一位需要理发的老人理发,容光焕发的他们笑逐颜开,连声感谢基督教信徒们的到来。
七十九岁的易建忠老人边吃边说,要感谢党和政府给了他们幸福的晚年。
在房间里他拿出珍藏十几年的人民日报,高兴地向我们展示刊登在人民日报上的2006年国务院颁布的《农村五保供养工作条例》,说这就是他们幸福晚年的保证。
爱国爱教在行动,自觉参与和服务社会服务民众。
此次爱心活动获得了袁州区福利院的领导欢迎和老人们的称赞,见证了基督徒作光作盐,荣耀上帝。
为基督教中国化做出了应有的贡献。
