S set out in the drizzle to a place more than a hundred miles away to meet her honorary father. She wanted to spread the gospel to this ailing octogenarian...
Speaking of her honorary father, there is an unforgettable story. About thirty years ago, S was just twenty years old. She just started her career and fell in love with a boy of the same age.
One day, the boy took her to his home and introduced her to his parents as his girlfriend. Within a very short time, the boy’s parents started to regard S as their future daughter-in-law.
However, the boy soon fell in love with someone else. S was a little sad, but she can still deal with it since they got along with each other for a short time and did not have much deep relationship.
Surprisingly, the boy’s parents could not accept this result. The boy’s father, in particular, could not bear his son’s unfaithfulness since he had a really good impression on S. The father was so sad that he became seriously ill and bedridden.
At that time, S was working in the factory. She heard about the old man’s situation—he was very sick and ate little for a long time. Although she had no connection with the boy, the kind-hearted woman decided to visit his father in her spare time.
The old man, who had not gotten up for a week, recovered a lot when he saw S. That day, the old man sat up. He hold her hands and said with tears that he would never be so lucky to have such a good girl as his daughter-in-law. S comforted him and said, “Don’t be too sad! Though I can’t be your daughter-in-law, I can be your honorary daughter!” So, the old couple became her honorary parents.
During these thirty years, S has been in contact with her honorary parents. Her honorary mother died last year. Recently, her honorary father told S that he was not well and in hospital.
Because of her work and the inconvenient transportation (her honorary father lives more than 100 miles away from her), S could not visit the old man. She told him to come to her home to recuperate after discharge. Due to some concerns, after leaving the hospital, the old man neither went to S’s home nor to his son’s but to his own home. S was so worried since he is already more than eighty years old.
Recently, due to the pandemic, S had days off and could visit the old man. She planned to preach the gospel to him. Then the scene described at the beginning of the article happened.
She prayed for him and committed everything to the Lord. Shortly after she stepped out, the sun came out. On the way there, S called the old man and told him that she was on the way to visit him.
After more than 100 miles of traveling along the rugged roads, which took several hours, she arrived.
The old man asked a 70-year-old neighbor to come and help him to prepare lunch before S arrived. The aunt cracked three eggs and cooked a meal for her.
After the meal, S began to talk with her honorary father and the aunt about Jesus.
Thank God for his work in people’s hearts, these two elderly people were both willing to accept the Christian faith, saying their resolution prayer with the help of S.
The story of S and her honorary father now comes to an end. And it tells us to love people around us first. Let the people you love and those who love you be blessed first. Don’t neglect the people around you!
S冒着细雨踏上了去往一百多里外的某地的路程。她要去见三十年前自己认的一位干爹。她要把大好的信息告诉这位已经八十多岁,身体状况不太好的老人……
说起干爹,还有一段难忘的故事。那时S姊妹才刚刚二十岁。刚刚踏入社会的她,被一位同龄的大男孩打动了芳心。
有一天,大男孩把姊妹领到了自己的家,以女朋友的身份介绍给父母。在短短的相处中,男孩的父母便认定了S姊妹就是他们未来儿媳。
然而,这个大男孩不久又另有了意中人。
S姊妹虽然有点难过,但还好,因接触时间短,还没有投入太多的感情,所以,分手对彼此的伤害还不大。
可谁也没想到,当事人没有太多感想,反而让男孩的父母接受不了。特别是男孩的父亲,实在无法接受儿子另有新欢。因为老人对S姊妹的印像实在是太好了!
父亲对于儿子的一意孤行很伤心!因为很难过,居然得了一场大病,老人家是卧床不起。
那时候S姊妹在厂里上班,听到老人因儿子的婚事,病得很严重,已经有很长的时间连饭都不怎么吃了。
虽然她与男孩已经没有任何往来了,但善良的姊妹还是决定抽出时间去看一看老人家。
躺在床上已经有一个礼拜没有起来过的老人,看到S姊妹后,病就好了一大半。
那天,老人居然坐了起来。他拉着S姊妹的手,说自己福浅,今生再也遇不见这么好的姑娘做他们的儿媳了,说得老泪纵横。
S姊妹安慰老人家说,你们不要太伤心了!成不了儿媳,我可以给你们当女儿呀!就这样,S姊妹成了两位老人的干女儿。
一晃三十年过去了,S姊妹已经五十岁了,但她与老人家一直都有来往。去年干妈去世了。最近一段时间,干爸告诉S姊妹,说自己身体状况挺不好,也住进了医院。
姊妹由于工作原因,加上两家距离有一百多里,交通不便,所以去不了。于是,她便让老人出院后,来自己的家里养病。老人似乎有些顾虑,出院后,既没有去姊妹家,也没有去儿子那里,独自一人回到了自己的老家。这让姊妹很担心!因为他已经是八十多岁的老人了。
最近因疫情单位放了假。S姊妹便有了时间,她要把那大好的信息告诉他。这就出现了文章开头,S姊妹冒雨外出的情景。
她为老人家祈祷,把一切交托给主。在走出家门后不久,天晴了。姊妹坐上了车。在车上,S姊妹给老人打去了电话,告诉老人自己已经在车上了。
一百多里崎岖不平的路,坐了好几个小时,才到了目的地。
老人在姊妹还没有到家的中午时,他求邻居的一位七十岁的老阿姨过来帮忙,打了三个鸡蛋给S姊妹已经做好了饭。
姊妹吃完饭以后,便开始跟干爹和那位阿姨唠家常,讲耶稣的故事。
感谢上帝在人心里的动工。两位已经步入晚年的老人,都愿意接受基督的信仰,他们在姊妹的代祷下,做了决志祷告。
姊妹与干爹的故事讲完了,笔者认为,爱先要从身边人做起,首先要让自己所爱的人和爱自己的人蒙福。千万别忽略了自己身边的人!
