生日

明天便是我35歲的生日。

不知從那一年開始,覺得自己的生日不應該是人家送禮物給自己來慶祝。以前的人生活比較艱難,每過一年都是值得慶賀的一件事。但現在的情况不同了,我想作為自己生存在世的一個紀念日,在這日主動多作些供獻,比被動地收禮物來得有意義吧。

幾年前開始,會在自己生日的那日買點糖果或朱古力,和同事分享。有了Daniel後,心態又有點不同了。在他還小時,會爭取機會和他相處,包括自己的生日。我相信將他培養成一個神和人喜悅的人,也是我對這個世界的一點供獻。

35年,有些事會懊悔,有些事會叫人不快,但有更多事是叫我感恩的。展望將來,希望自己能作一個好榜樣給下一代,不一定是要他們跟我的路走,而是希望能讓他們感到人生是豐富的、精彩的、有意義的,是值得活的。

Happy Birthday son. Your arrival has been such a great gift to us, much more than anything else the Lord has given us apart from His grace, of course.

It's hard to believe that 35 years has passed & that you've brought Daniel, another treasure to the family. Don't burden your yourself too much by being a role model. We can only do our best & leave the rest to the Lord. I, too, have done many wrong things (although I've done good things as well). But both of you have turned out fine, loving the Lord, honest & kind & caring. I'm sure that you also find life abundant, meaningful and worth living. These are all gifts. So remember to pray for Daniel, as I prayed for you both. That's the most important thing we should do as parents.

Much love,
mom
