緬懷李伯母

 

 

十七,八年前,有個傳福音的見證傳播在電視上播放,李伯母將它転錄到帶子,到處送人,當時的她應有70好几了,正如詩篇92:14 他們年老的時候,仍要結果子,要滿了汁漿而常發青。感謝讚美主, 我們的老姊妹正是如此,也成為我們老年時的好榜樣,晚年雖然有癌細胞在身,但神保守我的姊妹,紀念她雖然身體軟弱,年齡老邁,仍使她活在主的同在中,感謝主,我的老姊妹沒有空空去見主。

 

我的老姊妹在一個好的無比的地方,願主紀念她的家人,也安慰他們的心。

一个的人生

 

妈妈爱神爱人,她的个性温柔对人福音不遺餘力。最近几年虽然因年纪、体力的关系没有办法像以前一样服事弟兄姊妹,但只要有机会、有能力她总是尽其所能地摆上她的一份。

 

她的一生就是一个的人生,我想这是一个非常能贴切的描绘出妈妈这一生的写照。在还没有来美国之前,她为了家庭、工作几乎没有机会去教会,但退休后来美国又再一次回到教会,她的生命就有了翻转。在那个年代60多岁就是老了没有用了,但妈妈却找到了一个她认为可以做的好的服事,我也相信神祝福了她的事工因为藉着这个服事让许多人得到益处。

 

那个时候网路平台不像今天,有许多好的讲道信息都是要去参加退休会或是灵命造就大会才听得到的。妈妈每次听了都说讲得太好太好可惜某某、某某没去听不到。也就是因为这些老姐妹得不到这样的机会去享受屬靈的盛宴,她就兴起了为这些讲台做录音、录影的服事。在那个时代许多婆婆妈妈们连打开电视、录影机都不会的时候老妈居然要去做这个服事连我都不看好她。因为无弃在教会录影录音的服事所以他就成为了老妈的指导员。做这个服事有许多的剪辑的工作,老妈真是废寝忘食,常常一卷录音/一盒影带花了几个钟头做好但是当她回听的时候如果发现有一丁点不合她的标准时,那就整个再做一遍。录影带的剪辑更是麻烦,但是老妈真是以一个认真敬虔的态度来做,教会中常常有许多弟兄姊妹的父母来美国探亲,当他们要回去的时候老妈就把这些当作礼物送给他们,一方面是希望他们回去以后继续再有属灵的粮食,生命更有长进;另一方面也希望他们把所听的分享给在中国的还不认识主的朋友们。后来随着时代的进步VHS录影带变成了DVD。老妈又再一次从头学起。在这个服事上她不但花出了大时间精力金钱上也是一大笔的支出心里面充滿喜乐,尤其是弟兄姐妹来谢谢/分享他们是如何利用这些带子来传福音,让她更是觉得她的服事有了果效。

 

妈妈不是一个有钱的人,她刻苦待己,從來對自己節省。如果弟兄姊妹看了媽媽的像片可能會發現好多衣服她都還在穿,都快20年了,但对人却是出奇的大方。我相信很多弟兄姊妹都知道妈妈非常好客,常常请客。有一次居然请了快一百多个人,我觉得她太招摇了还大大的指責了她一顿。其實媽媽是非常感激大家對她的愛與關心,不知道用什麼方式來表感謝,中國人請人吃飯是一個最好的表示感謝的方式所以就用這個方式來表示感恩 - 感谢弟兄姊妹接送她去教会,探访她,陪她聊天,陪她去聚会,关心她。甚至最后两年住在疗养院里面,她的抽屉里面总是准备了糖果点心,为了就是随时可以给那些护士护工,谢谢他们给他端饭来或是帮她量血压或是开个窗。

 

对晚辈们更是不用说了,每次我的孙子他们来看太婆,她总是要准备红包给他们,虽然钱不多但孩子们总是觉得受到特别的待遇,感受到了她的愛。我孙子常说他不了解为什么太婆总是要给他们红包,家中总是准备好吃的东西给他们。太婆对他们的爱就在这些的里面让他们领受了。

 

我現在明白媽媽是因為感恩,她是因為知道耶穌基督為她死在十字架上,給了她新生命,她嚐到了主恩的甜美。願意媽媽這個的人生能夠傳承在我們的家族,讓我們世世代代都能愛神、服事神。讓我們每一代人都能成為一個流通的管道,把神給我們的愛和恩典藉著我們的家能夠傳出去。阿門。

李伯母虽然坐着轮椅。但她总是平安喜乐的。短短的话语也充满恩惠。她已为主打了美好的战,做了美好的见证。她会一直在我们的纪念里

 

李伯母是主所深爱的使女。
像犹大國的希西家王一样,神在伯母患绝症之后,又赐给她十余载寿数,為的是让她留给世人更多的她的荣神益人的鲜活見証。
安息主怀,好的无比!

永远缅怀我们的主内老姊妹一一李伯母,李奶奶,李太祖母。

8/18/2017是我生命中最悲傷的日子,我親愛的媽媽離開了我,回到天父為她預備的天家,安息在主懷裡,雖然知道這是媽媽最好的歸宿,但是想到再也聽不到她叫我的名字,我也無法再叫一聲'媽媽',內心的痛使我無法停止哭泣。媽媽在世的最後幾天,飽受喘不過氣的痛苦,但是任何一個醫護人員來照顧她時,她總是用一張笑臉說'Thank you'.當我星期五早上和她禱告時,她舉起雙手讚美主,她最後對我的囑咐就是要'好好愛主'

媽媽在最後的日子,有一天對我説把我累壞了,我是她的好女兒,沒有我她不能還活著,我雖心如刀割,仍強做鎮定,告訴她我一奌也不累,照顧她是我的福氣,我小時候是她照顧我,現在換我照顧她,是應該的. 我和媽媽從來沒有分開過,我總是在她左右,小時候因為父母年齡比同學的爸媽年紀大很多,心裡總是沒有安全感,怕有一天父母離我而去,所以我特別黏著媽媽,我雖是老么但卻像獨生女,哥哥姊姊們都不在家,媽媽成為我最好的朋友,學校發生的事,同學間相處的情形,每天我都和她分享,我從來沒有叛逆期,因為媽媽總是用耐心聽我訴說一切。現在我有了自己的家庭, 我也想以媽媽做榜樣,成為兒女的好母親,雖然不盡人意,但是我會繼續努力的.

媽媽是個大方又為人着想的人,孩子們每次去看婆婆都要拿錢給他們吃飯,她的大方不只是對家人也對所有她認識的人,我常不理解甚至覚得有點過份,但是她總是說她心存感恩,永遠不會忘記人家對她的好,那怕只是一點點她也記在心裡,我每次去看她,她都催我快點走,沒有時間就不要去看她,她總是為人著想,這些都是她留給我們的榜樣.

星期五早上她在半醒半睡中,突然說’我不能丟下你們五個’, 我說’妳沒有,我們都跟著妳’她放心的回說’我怎麼會丟下你們呢!’我曾経深怕有一天當我走進她的房間,她會不認識我了,感謝主,她到最後還記得她的孩子們,安詳的離開,讓我們留下美好的回憶。

在此我要特別感謝主,神的意念高過我們的意念,四年前建平決定退休時,我覺得他的年齡退休有點太早,沒想到媽媽突然身體出了問題,我才明白原來神所給我的是祂的恩典與祝福,這兩年的時間,他幾乎不間斷的在週間去陪媽媽,和她聊天,天氣許可就推着輪椅帶媽媽散步,讓我能沒有後顧之憂,讓媽媽成為nursing home裡最幸福的老人,真的很謝謝他在此也謝謝恩典教會的弟兄姊妹在這兩年對媽媽的関愛,永遠忘不了弟兄們看到我的車進入停車場立刻跑出來接媽媽進敎會,每個弟兄姊妹都是用可愛的笑臉迎接她,對她親切的問候,這些看似微不足道,但是讓我深深感動也是我學習的榜樣。感謝主,再次感謝恩典教會的弟兄姊妹對媽媽的愛心擺上,你們在這軟弱肢體上所做的,就是做在主身上,神必紀念

如今媽媽離開了我們,但是我們確信她在天父那裡等我們,有一天我們會再相見,在這我要再叫一聲'媽,我來了,今天怎麼樣?昨晚睡的好嗎?那裡不舒服嗎?這是我常常去看她或打電話給她時常問的問題,我相信她會説'我在這裡很好,身體也很健朗,與主同在好的無比,我在這裡等你們’

I'm very fortunate to have spent the day with Grandmom the day before she passed. Mom and I walked in her room and she was doing her thing... reading the newspaper in her wheelchair. She looked good and alert but a little confused. Then her facial expression revealed a moment of clarity and she recognized us because she smiled from ear to ear and asked if we want something to eat. We were there for maybe 6 hours but the day went by quickly. Replacing the oxygen tubes and/or mask on her face and trying to figure out what she saying kept us busy! And she talked a lot! She looked so tiny, her skin was so soft and her eyelids just about covers her eyes but they still twinkled and shined when she smiled her beautiful smile as I kissed her forehead and said goodbye... see you next week. 

 

I love you Wai Puo - Leigh

Heart Shattered.

Friday afternoon I received the call I was expecting but never wanted to answer. My grandmother, after living a life filled with such joy and love, had departed this world to be with our Lord and Savior. Words cannot express my devastation. My heart just...broke.

When my grandma was originally diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer, I had 2 prayers- that she would live to attend my wedding and to meet my children. My grandma's biggest concern was that I meet and marry a man who truly loved me, cared for me, and was good to me. This was her prayer and she cried about it to me many times. 

In July 2015, I thought we lost the chance for her to see my happily ever after but my grandma is an amazing fighter despite being in hospice care, she prevailed. We were buying  a house so close to her apartment, but it was time for grandma to move into a nursing home 30 minutes away. The next month, I got engaged and my hope was revived. Grandma was going to make it. When we booked our venue, she asked me when the wedding was and when I replied next October she commented how far away it was. I knew she was pushing to stay healthy until the wedding. My family reunited for the joyous occassion and she saw all 5 of her kids together again. 

12 weeks after the birth of my daughter, my grandma took her final breathe and peacefully drifted off to Heaven. I am forever grateful. Chloe will grow up learning how faithful,  loving, and generous her great grandmother loved. My relationship with my grandmother was nothing like any of her other grandchildren, but she loved each and every one of us fiercely and unconditionally. I will forever miss her, but I know she is at peace.

我親愛的婆婆,今天上午在睡夢中被 主接回天家。對我而言,她是世界上最好的婆婆!成為她的媳婦真是 神的恩典!25歲嫁到美國,當時什麼都不會,婆婆非常疼愛我,最常跟我說妳去坐沙發休息看電視,我弄點心給你吃!還告訴我的先生如果婆婆和我意見不同,他ㄧ定要挺我,因為聖經上說夫妻是一體的。
她也總是隨時散發愛心、隨時照顧身旁的所有人!因為她,我認識主耶穌,因為她,我受洗成為基督徒!
她一生愛主,相信現在她已在天家享受天父為她預備的筵席!將來我們也必將在天家再相見!

Today this beautiful woman of faith and valor went to be with her Savior.  When I married Steve, she became my grandma and I won the granddaughter-in-law lottery BIG TIME.  She nurtured me with words of life and shown me what it looks like to live simply yet generously.  She had more friends than anyone I know, and she always cared for others more than she cared for herself. I love you, Wai-Puo.  I will see you again and you will be in my heart forever.

Some of my earliest Taipei memories are of Leigh and me visiting our grandparents with overnight stays when our parents were in the United States.  We would sleep in the same room with grandmom.  That tradition carried on after we came to the states with Aunt Terry.  When my family went to NJ to visit, the three generations of females would all sleep in the same room, chatting, and gossiping late into the night.  When Steven was a toddler, he was the fourth generation to join in.  It was comforting falling asleep with the soft voices of grandmom, mom and aunties in my ear.

Dear Family and Friends,
I would like to a a few quick words in honor of Tai-Puo. Tai-Puo was one of the most generous people I know. When she lived in the apartment she would always buy our favorite snacks and food to give us when we visited. She always gave my brothers and I red envelopes even when we tried not to take them. When she was frail and living in the nursing home, she would save her juice and ice cream to give to us. Every time we saw her, she never complained, She would greet us and ask us how we were doing. She liked to hold our hands and talk to us. I will always miss her smile and her kindness. Now she is with God and she is happy. Tai-Puo, we will see you again. We love you.

我親愛的母親今天早上以97高齡在睡夢中安詳的被主耶穌接走了,雖說早己有準備,但是電話打來仍然無法接受;母親是虔敬的基督徒,早將自己的離開全然喜樂的交給了主,所以現今我們相信息了地上勞苦的她已坐在了施恩的寶座旁邊看著她在地上的兒女,我們做兒女的縱有萬千般的不捨,也只有學著以喜樂、盼望的心来日天家再見了!所幸這兩年來因有感母親年歲日增,我們就有計劃的趁著她老人家還健朗的時候帶着兒女們一起或他們自己單獨分批的去探望他們至愛的奶奶,因此沒有留下遺憾

母親出身大家,從小在優渥的環境裏長大,不知何謂辛苦,誰知與父親結婚後碰上戰亂,從此顛沛流離、走遍大江南北吃盡了一切的苦難,到了台灣因為父親待遇菲薄,家用不足,不惜放下身段到處找事,只為了我們五個兄弟姊妹的溫飽,我一輩子記得母親帶著我去當舖典當東西的情形,歷歷在目永不敢忘!

母親居美40餘年,凡事仰望丶信靠神,在教會服事中侭力擺上,不遺漏任何一場聚會,在傳福音、愛弟兄姊妹諸事上不遺餘力,去年探望母親臨別時仍不忘殷切叮嚀:帶著全家親近主丶凡事禱告謝恩。在我們心中她不愧是一位愛主的勇士!現今她已跑完應跑的路丶打完一場美好的仗,安息主懷;她永遠是我們的榜樣。

謹以此紀念母親

ps  母親去逝後暫置美國,擇期再奉安台北與父親同葬

I Thea 4:14-18                                                                               

4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.


Lately, I am depressed and sorrowful in that within one year. The passing of my father, my sister, my niece, my favorite bible teacher, my neighbor over 2 of my beta fish died in my presence within days apart, and of course our own beloved Lee 伯母,was also taken from us.

I have worship with Lee
伯母 for numerous years, my memory and remembrance of her is her generous spirit and smile. She was in my judgement  a godly woman and mother of many who loves brothers and sisters without discrimination, one who excites to serve our great God in whatever way she can, through feasting & laughing with brothers/sisters or any way possible when door's open.

A beloved sister in the Lord that we can be encouraged with, one who aspire to bad a quiet life in her latter years, to mind her own business and to work with her own hands, independent to a point that she refuse to get help getting out of bed in the nursing facility she's in, to the frustration I think when she fell and hurt herself to her children.

The last few visits I had with her, she had difficulty breathing, once she told me that she thought last night she was going to be with the Lord. She had the assurance and confidence in her voice and the excitement to be with her Lord. ( amazing great faith)

Another time she told me to take care of others. In her time of weakness her thought was not
on self but on others. The last time I visited her, she can hardly say my name, but she put on her eyeglass and start reading the newspaper, these are all the fragrance of the love of a God which surpasses the knowledge of the world.

She will be missed (already). But joyfully we  will meet again at the feet of our King and Savior Jesus Chirst.

What hope uncomparable.

What a mighty God we have displayed in the life of our feeble, beloved, quiet spirit dearest sister in the Lord.  Rest in peace Lee 伯母 till we meet again.

Maranatha!

 

 

懷念李法瑞先伯母 --- 一位愛神愛人的長者

有一次問李伯母,為什麼離開她熟悉、舒適、聚會多年的教會,在那弟兄姊妹都非常愛她,又有許多年長聚會,而來到我們這個才剛被主興起來,人數不多的小教會?

她沒有直接回答我的問題,只說恩典教會人數少,所以她願意和我們在一起。我常常為她的心意感謝主,她的心像我們的主,有豐富憐憫的心腸,扶助軟弱的人。

過去二年來,每主日李伯母在她的小女兒陪伴下,總是坐在會所中間靠走道固定的坐位,經過她時看她慈祥的臉上帶著天使的笑容,總不禁會上前,握著她的手,對她說:看到您,真好!。有一首詩歌,神將你我安置在一起,里面的歌詞說:「你的信心,使我得力。你的基督微細,叫我們得激勵,得供應。」無論在何時何地,遇見她, 李伯母身上信心的見證主,生命的供應,叫我們不看環境,我們的心就活了。感謝主,把李伯母安置和我們在一起,同來建造基督的身體。

李伯母一生愛 神,愛人。弟兄姊妹都愛她。她到那里,弟兄姊妹都會圍著她,歡喜向她問安。 神賜給她一生的豐富,所行的路徑都滴滿了脂油。雖有幾次病危,一再保守她,直到歲數滿足,接她安息在主懷。我們的神知道誰是愛祂的人。 神讓我們看到, 神已經愛李伯母了!我想到老約翰在約翰三書所說的話來紀念李伯母: 約翰三書12低米丟(行善),有眾人給他作見證,又有真理給他作見證;就是我們也給他作見證,你也知道我們的見證是真的。」

仰首望天,天上多了一位見證人,如同雲彩圍著我們,閉目沈思,滿心捨不得這麼一位慈祥,滿了憐憫的長者。親愛的李伯母,謝謝您留下叫我們效法的榜樣。

但感謝主,我們只是暫時的分離,將來仍要在天上見面。

主內末肢

坐在回L.V.的飛機上,望着窗外望無際的天空和周围浮動的云,便想到歸回天家的李伯,非常感谢神;能在她離世前相聚,很多的情景都浮現在眼前。 伯離開的前,在她的床前,她呼吸困難的對我說沒有時侯了,我……” 我們同在神前祈禱,深求神讓老姊妺平安穏妥的在祂恩⼿中,減少她的痛苦,增添她的信,定睛在榮耀的盼望中,沒想到那真是最後⼀⾯,非常遺憾的是沒有唱詩歌相送。 記得在她第次病危時,去看望她,她老中掛念是教會,是她親愛的主内弟兄姊妹,當時教會中發些令她痛的事,她含著眼淚問我說為什麼?我無能回答,只有說神都看也都知道,到那都要顕明在主前。 神是愛,平都藉着宇宙中萬事萬物顕明出來,我們的老姊妹就是愛的証者,凡接觸到她的們都會異同聲的說!讃美神!很多時老姊妹的笑容,淚声縂是環绕着我,不能忘記的是老姊妹的嘱咐要彼此相爱譲我们這在基督的,都切實的彼此相爱吧!這是主的命令,祂怎様爱我们,也要我们怎様彼此相爱。约 三:34
