The Bible says: "He was seriously ill in the couch, the Lord will support him; he was ill, thou must make the bed for him." (Psalm 41: c) added: "because I am the Lord your God you must arm right hand, said to you, do not be afraid! I will help you. "(Isaiah 41: 13)
Recognizing the old lady Yang *, so I once again experienced God, recognize His grace, His faithfulness to His children and His Fantastic as. "Everything is the effectiveness of each other, called Eros benefits people get." (Romans 8)
Is probably the last year (2005) December, a Sunday, I go to an infirmary as ever visit an old friend of mine May. Are ready to leave when the staff of nursing homes to find the old lady I went to see Yang. That day she had just moved, do not speak English, her family had left. Where the staff can not communicate with her. Probably see me in the East face, I hope my old lady and Yang have common language for them to do the translation.
Yes indeed, Yang lady and I are Chinese, but unfortunately we still makes no sense. She was talking about is in Cantonese, but I would only say that with Yangju Mandarin accent. She said I could not understand, I said she did not understand. Than the hands and feet both zoned a lot, too bewildered staff. I can only shake his head, said the helpless. This is me and Yang first met the old lady's case.
Although we have the language barrier, but the old lady Yang when they see me, the kind of pleasure of a happy expression, but deeply moved me, to her obsession. At first, I did not intend to continue to see Mrs. Yang, but perhaps her personality very exciting and enjoyable stay fascinated me, or it may be moved by the Holy Spirit now. Anyway, after each time to see May, on the old lady who could not help but to see Yang. Out by the church every Sunday, always go to see my wife's grave, for a bouquet of flower, and then look at May, the last to visit the old lady Yang. To his wife's grave, you can comfort I miss her feelings; see May, to meet old friends to enjoy cordial; but each time the old lady read the Yang, while I staggered light healthy spirits. Yang old English name is Joy is. Every time saw her, she is happily, to hold me, kiss me sometimes, really gave me immense joy. Sometimes I really do not know who is who visit, who brought joy to whom. I do not even bow to thank my God, my God also amazing secret act.
We still can not communicate, or zoned than the hands and feet, mostly Fortunately she stresses. Yang seems to have too many old story, and I can only carefully to see how the wind blows on one side, or nodded or shook her head. However, this way, or to clarify something. For example, she does not like the food there, but there do not like tea. I would buy a box of jasmine tea in tea bags sent to her. Was later learned, Joy favorite is the jasmine tea. I could not bow to worship God's wonderful grace and arrangements, so I chose the jasmine tea. Winter, when her hand was cold, I put her hand on her hand was slowly rubbing warm. Sometimes she pokes door, I pushed her wheelchair, where a walk in the aisle. On this way, almost half a year.
Young lady is very thin and small, I think she might be sick. Because I was not her relatives, nursing home staff would not tell me the old lady's condition Yang, I did not ask. Visits have been to do the work, there is such a rule: must respect each other's privacy, cultural backgrounds and religious beliefs. I do not know the old lady Yang has no religious beliefs. But their hearts are moved by pressing, it is necessary to pray with her, but this kind of moved more and more. Finally I could not help, one day when they leave, ask her to join me in prayer. My prayer is very simple, pray to the old lady Ping'an Yang, joy, and health; Young lady, if not a Christian, then God led her to accept the Lord Jesus as her Savior. Although she did not understand what I am talking about, but happily shouted "Amen." From that, we always pray to conclude my visit.
Yang old last seen in this year (2006) Mother's Day, Sun. At this time Yang already have the old lady was hospitalized two weeks. That afternoon, I have a sense of moving and a sense of urgency. I told their own, this afternoon what can be put aside, we want to go take a look at the old lady Yang. I bought a box of red roses and a jasmine tea to go to the hospital to visit her. However, it is very regrettable that she may not have identified people, and I actually also did not recognize her. Yang had little old lady, has swollen beyond recognition the. Is this day, the first time I met her daughter and her face. Yang knows the old lady is a cancer, but has come to the end. From where her daughter know that Yang is an old devout Christian. God! God! Young lady I do not know a Christian, but thou know. God! My God! Is it not thou and I touched the daughter of Yang Mi old lady with you in prayer?
The next day her daughter phoned to tell me, Yang lady on Monday 12:00 five days back home. Yang is also the day the old lady's birthday.
God! My God! Only thou know that I was reading the old lady Yang, Yang Mi also know that the old lady like me see her. Is it not thou moved back to my old days in the Yang family the day before, and her farewell to it? I bow to thank the worship except God, can do?
Yang exchanges with half a year old, this one thing in itself, makes me realize that God of His sons and daughters how to care. When his daughter alone to a new place are not familiar with when he did not forget her. God moved me to pay her a visit. "He was seriously ill in the couch, the Lord will support him; he was ill, thou must make the bed for him."
This section of scripture I have real meaning. That might be to my God to encourage and to teach them?
A very sick old lady, as long as the mind in God, not only in life is still full of joy and peace, and to bring others happiness. She makes me invigorated, spry step sandals. I often sigh, I am getting old and not the health of the body, memory deterioration, the Bible is also not remember the. I also serve on? But I am loving God! Thou make me see that even if the old lady like me, and Yang, age difference is so big that the language barrier, but in the main love, to love one another, help, relevant photos, is to serve God this is not it? This to me is great encouragement for us.
At the same time, I also think of Isaiah 41 Chapter 3, "because I am the Lord your God must arm your right hand, said to you, do not be afraid! I will help you." I deeply appreciate that I do not care age, my health condition does not matter, as long as I am with an open mind to follow God, emptied himself, which is empty "physical passion, eyes of lust and the pride of life", are willing for Him "will be presented the body as a living Festival. " Faithfulness of God we will be in the most incredible cases, the use of me, and serve Him, let me become a useful vessel of God.
Half a year old lady to get along with Yang, I deeply feel that "everything with each other effect, called those who have the benefits of Eros" (Romans 8) is not only the Bible, Revelation, it is my personal experience. This is me witness.
