This is an article from a mother who narrated the story of her son's ten-year journey on Earth-a journey marked by his five-year battle with leukemia, which ultimately led her entire family back to the embrace of the Lord. The story was told from the first-person perspective.
Enci was my second child. We hadn't planned for a second child and had already undergone contraception. My mother is a devout Christian, and when I unexpectedly became pregnant, she believed the child was a gift from God, so we named him Enci, which means "gift" in Chinese.
Before Enci's illness, my husband and I were without faith, scarcely pondering the deeper meanings of life. In those times, the specter of death and illness seemed distant and irrelevant.
Prior to November 2018, like most people, I was busy working and making money every day. I had a strong desire for luxury cars and homes, and I would return home very late each day, neglecting my children. Once, when Enci didn't feel well, I took him to the hospital. After a reexamination, the doctor diagnosed him with leukemia, and I suddenly felt powerless. At that moment, I thought of my Christian mother. After making a phone call, she immediately brought several believers to pray for him, and from then on, she prayed with us every day.
After Enci fell ill, I gave up all my work. Within a week, the doctor issued three critical condition notices and advised us to seek treatment in major cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong. So, while taking Enci for medical consultations, I began to call upon the Lord. Enci experienced several "resurrections." During the days of accompanying Enci to see doctors, we prayed, read the Bible together, and looked for churches. After seeing the doctor, he attended Sunday school, and I attended gatherings. Gradually, we came to know Jesus Christ and His truth!
Throughout this time, whether in our hometown or in Beijing, and then in Shanghai, there were always many believers accompanying us, providing material and spiritual support (we were already deeply in debt due to his medical expenses).
When Enci was struck by illness at five years old when he fell ill, he had not attended kindergarten, yet miraculously, he knew many words. He could read the Bible, especially enjoying the Book of Revelation, which I couldn't understand. He often told me, "Mom, the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse is coming soon, and the return of Lord Jesus is imminent!"
Once, he told me that sometimes he would complain to God about why He didn't take him away earlier but let him suffer again and again. I told him, "Perhaps your mission hasn't been completed yet. God's timing hasn't arrived. When the time is right, the Lord will naturally come to take you."
I told him not to complain, as the Israelites faced ruin in the wilderness due to their complaints and couldn't enter the Promised Land. He said, "Alright then, I'll pray, asking the Lord to do His will. Just like the prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane, 'not my will, but Yours be done.'"
I asked him, "Do you resent the Lord?" He said, "Of course not! I thank God for letting me live for so many more years!"
With fluctuating physical function and health, Enci escaped danger several times. When his condition relapsed later on, he would say to me, "Mom, I don't want to go to the hospital for treatment anymore. Life and death are in God's hands. Let's live each day happily and not worry about tomorrow! Regardless of the outcome, let's obey."
Enci told me that the best way to grow faith is to treat every day as if it were the last because no one knows if they will be alive tomorrow!
God did not remove our suffering, nor did He remove Enci's illness. However, after experiencing His presence and miraculous guidance, our focus shifted from earthly concerns to heavenly ones.
Enci said he had faith in Jesus because he truly knew Him. He said Jesus had appeared to him twice and each time told him, "Do not be afraid," so he wasn't afraid of death.
Enci said he liked the movie "Pilgrim's Progress", which he had watched at least six times.
The Lord restored his appearance prior to his ascension into heaven. On the day he passed away, the tumors on his face and the internal bleeding throughout his body were gone. Despite very low platelet counts, he didn't experience bleeding.
Two or three days before he passed away, he said to me, "Mom, if you want to take me to play, we should do it quickly. Because I feel my strength deteriorating, and I'm afraid I will die in a few days." I fulfilled his wish!
We went out to play and had a meal together outside. That afternoon, when we returned, he started running a high fever. The next day, he still refused to go to the hospital. We only sent him to the hospital after he lost consciousness, and our entire family accompanied him. I sang many of his favorite hymns by his bedside. Around the seventh or eighth hymn I sang, his breathing slowed, and he fell asleep.
Because of the genuine peace that God had given me, I didn't experience overwhelming sorrow. I knew that what remained was just his body, and his soul was already with the Lord in heaven.
The suffering and tears that Enci experienced during his brief ten years on Earth were not in vain. He led our entire family to the presence of the Lord. Now, my husband, our daughter (Enci's sister), and I often pray together. My mother-in-law used to worship idols, but she also came to believe in the Lord because of his illness. During his treatment, we met many fellow sufferers. We witnessed the grace of the Lord on Enci and in our family, and many fellow sufferers gained faith and encouragement.
We should not only grieve and despair for those who have already returned to their heavenly home but also for our family members and friends who have not yet known the Lord, and who have not yet repented and returned to him. May the Lord use us to bring them into His presence and guide them onto the path of eternal life.

这是一篇来自一位妈妈的文章，讲述了她的儿子在世寄居十载，与白血病奋战五年之中使全家归主的故事。
以下以第一人称讲述。
恩赐是我的第二个孩子。我们原本没有计划要二胎，并且已经做了节育。我妈妈是个虔诚的基督徒，意外怀孕后，妈妈认定这是上帝赐给我们的，所以我们给他取名叫恩赐。
在恩赐生病之前，我和丈夫没有信仰，从未曾思考过生命的意义。在我经历这一切之前，总以为死亡和疾病离我们很远。
2018年11月之前，我和大部分人一样，每天忙着工作、赚钱。我特别渴慕豪车豪宅，我每天回家很晚，顾不上孩子。一次，恩赐不舒服，我带他去医院，医生在复查后确诊是白血病，我突然变得非常无力。那一刻，我想到了我的基督徒妈妈。打电话之后，妈妈当即带着几位弟兄来给恩赐祷告，之后妈妈每天带着我们祷告。
恩赐生病后，我放下了所有的工作。一周之内，医生连下三个病危通知书，并建议我们到北上广治疗。于是我一边带恩赐四处求医，一边开始呼求主。恩赐多次经历了“复活”的奇迹。陪恩赐看病的日子里，我们一起祷告、读圣经，我们找到了教会。去医院之外的时间，他上主日学，我聚会，渐渐地我们认识了主耶稣和祂的真理！
这期间，无论是在老家，还是到北京，再到上海，总是有很多信徒陪伴在我们身边，提供物质上和灵性上的帮助（为了给恩赐看病，我们已经债台高筑）。
恩赐生病的时候才5岁多，他没有上过学，幼儿园也没有学知识。但很奇妙，他认识很多很多字。他会读圣经，尤其喜欢读我看不懂的启示录。他经常告诉我，“妈妈，马上第四匹马要来了，主耶稣要回来了！”
有一次他告诉我说，有时他也会抱怨上帝为什么不早点把他接走，要让他反反复复受苦。我告诉他，“可能你的使命还没有完成吧，上帝的时候还没有到，到了时间主自然会来接你。”
我告诉他尽量不要抱怨，以色列民就是因为抱怨而倒闭在旷野，没有进入应许之地。他说，“那好吧，那我以后祷告就求主按祂的旨意行吧。就像主耶稣在客西马尼园的祷告一样，不要按我的意思，只要按主的意思。”
我问他：“你恨主吗？”他说：“当然不会啊！我都感谢上帝让我又活了那么多年！”
恩赐的病情也是反反复复的，但是好几次都化险为夷。后期复发的时候，他会跟我说：“妈妈，我不想去医院治疗了，生死都在上帝的手里。我们开开心心地生活好每一天，不要为明天忧虑！无论结果怎么样，我们顺服就是。”
恩赐告诉我增加信心最好的办法就是把每一天都当最后一天活，因为没有人知道明天还能不能活着！
上帝没有挪去我们的苦难，也没有挪去恩赐的疾病。但是经历祂的同在和奇妙带领之后，使我们的眼目从地上转到了天上。
恩赐说他对主耶稣有信心，因为他真的认识主耶稣。他说主向他显现了两次，每次都叫他“不要怕”，所以他不惧怕死亡。
恩赐说喜欢看《天路历程》这个电影，这个电影他至少看了6遍。
在他归天家前几天，主恢复了他的容貌。在离世的那天，他脸上的肿瘤，还有全身的皮下出血都没有了。在那么低血小板情况下他没有出血点。
他离世前两三天跟我说：“妈妈，我们一家人如果要去玩就要快点，因为我感觉我的体力越来越差，怕再过几天就没有力气了。”我满足了他的心愿！
我们出去玩，也一起在外面吃了饭。回来那天的下午他就开始高烧，第二天他依然拒绝去医院。直到他失去意识后我们才送他去医院，然后我们一家人都陪着他。我在他床边唱了很多他喜爱的赞美诗歌，唱到大概第7、8首的时候，孩子的呼吸越来越慢，就睡了。
我没有很大的悲伤，因里面有上帝所赐真平安。我知道剩下的只是他的躯体，他的灵魂已经与主同在乐园里了！
恩赐在世的短暂十年所经历的苦难和眼泪都不是徒然，他把我们全家都带到了主的面前。现在，我的丈夫、我和我们的女儿（恩赐的姐姐），常常一起同心祷告。我的婆婆曾经是拜偶像的，也因为恩赐的病而信了主。
在治病期间，我们认识了很多同病相怜的病友。我们见证主在恩赐身上和我们家庭里的恩典，很多病友得到信心和激励。
我们不要只为已经归主回天家的人忧伤绝望，而是应该为还未曾认识祂，未曾悔改归正的家人朋友忧伤。求主使用我们，能把他们带到主面前走这条永生的道路。
