愛的箴言·紀念我的奶奶
The Way of Love
我在前天的博文裏提到了我的奶奶,一個帶給我童年深刻記憶的人。可是我萬萬沒有想到這夜晚的一點點思念,居然會成為我對她永久的懷念。我甚至都在琢磨,我應該在下周回杭州的時候在她病床前講一個怎樣生動有趣的故事給她,可是此時此刻她卻睡著了,永遠的安詳地睡著了……我很怕去想,因為我隻要一想,我的眼前就再也無法清晰。
今天我用了這首比較輕快的歌【I'm Yours】來做為這篇悼詞的solo,因為我希望每一位看到這篇悼詞的人:我的爺爺,我的爸爸媽媽,我的老公,我的叔伯阿姨,我的兄弟姐妹……都不要悲傷,我希望我們每一個人都能夠堅強起來,因為我們知道我們親愛的奶奶是被主邀請去了天堂,那裏不再會有痛苦,不再會有悲傷,那裏是灑滿鮮花和陽光溫暖的地方。
我請求我的媽媽在奶奶的床邊放上那本聖經,因為它帶給我們很多美好的童年回憶,那是我和奶奶對語的媒介,在它的扉頁,我們手握著手心貼著心一起識字吟唱。
今天請允許我用聖經裏的愛的箴言來緬懷我的至親,奶奶最後告訴媽媽:死並不可怕,她不害怕,因為心中有愛。她勉勵我們要學會去愛,要努力勇敢……
希望已遠在天堂的奶奶能夠看到我們每一個人的勇敢堅強!希望我的父親別再難過自責,因為愛永遠珍藏在我們心中!
阿門
The Way of Love
If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.
If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump, " and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing.
If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut.
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always, me first."
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts, God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.
Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day, praying in tongues will end, understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But, when the Complete arrives, our incomplete will be canceled.
兄弟姐妹看到了你的情義與堅強!
謝謝你昨晚陪著我,說出來以後,心裏好很多,照顧好外公外婆!
我也愛你
