美丽成功的生命。。。 Beautiful and successful life…
我想一个美丽又成功的生命就是在活着的时候带给人欢乐和鼓励，离开时依然让人心得安慰和欢乐。。。
颜妈妈让我有这个感想，她。。。昨天离开这世界回天家去了。。。
I think a beautiful and successful life is one that gives people joy and encouragement while alive, and similarly continues to bring people comfort and joy when leaving the world…
Aunty Gan gave me this thought, she… left this world to go to heaven yesterday…
颜妈妈几个月前被发现癌症末期，她从不惊惶或抱怨，对上帝依然充满感恩，还常鼓励弟兄姐妹要爱主、信靠主。。。辛苦或疼痛时，她就祷告主，疼痛就会消失。若有力气起来或撑得住，她一定跟先生颜爸爸来教会敬拜主，也参加乐龄小组聚会。很鼓励的，去年11月28日的教会家庭欢乐日，他们与大家一样凌晨六点都已到达运动场等候。。。
Few months ago Aunty Gan was found to have contracted final stage cancer but she was never panicky or complaining, she continued to be thankful to God, and always encouraged brothers and sisters to love and trust in God… When she was feeling some discomfort or pain, she would pray and the pain would disappear. If she had the strength to get up or sustain, she would come to church to worship with Uncle Gan, and would join the house group for the elderly too. Something very encouraging, on November 28th last year, they arrived at the sports stadium to wait as early as 6am together with everyone else…
其实昨天我本计划好要去探望颜妈妈，可是又开会又赶工什么的，拖延到没时间过去。。。哪知在傍晚时分，就收到她去世的消息！我心痛如刀割，当然也非常自责。。。心里一直怪自己为什么不够敏锐，为什么不能多摆上时间一点。。。开车去她家的时候，心里很是难过。
一抵达她家的时候，她女儿的一番话就已鼓励了我。我告诉她我很内疚今天没来探望，她说不要难过，妈妈一直都告诉她说她知道牧师很爱她。。。多体贴的一位老人家！我那么少探望她，她却没抱怨，说了解我忙，也一直告诉她女儿说她知道牧师很疼爱她。
当我瞻仰她遗容时，她是那么的安详美丽，我知道她是快乐的，我知道她已经到了天堂，我心得了很大安慰。。。
颜妈妈，活着的时候鼓励我，离开时依然鼓励我。。。
上帝啊，谢谢祢在我事奉道路上给我这么好的长辈祝福我。
Actually I planned to visit Aunty Gan yesterday, but I was caught up by meeting and work, and was delayed till I did not have time to go over… Then at evening time I received news that she had passed away! I felt my heart pierced like a knife and of course felt very remorseful… I kept blaming myself inside as to why I was not sensitive enough, why could I not offer up more of my time…. I was feeling very sad as I was driving to her house.
Upon reaching her house, her daughter’s words encouraged me immediately. I told her I regretted not coming to visit today, she asked me not to feel bad as her mother had been telling her that she knew the pastor loves her a lot… Such an considerate elder! I very seldom visited her and yet she did not complain and she said she understood I was busy, and kept telling her daughter she knew that the pastor loves her dearly…
When I looked at her face, she was so at peace and beautiful, I know she is happy, I know she is now in heaven, my heart is greatly comforted…
Aunty Gan, encouraged me when she was alive and encouraged me still when she left…
O God, thank You for giving me such a kind elder to bless me in this journey of serving You.
感谢主让我在上个月大年初一有机会拜访颜妈妈，与和她一起合照。。。
下面的是颜爸爸，他也是一个极其谦卑、忠心和非常鼓励我的长辈。。。
Thank God for giving me the opportunity to visit Aunty Gan and had a photograph taken with her on the first day of Chinese New Year last month…
Below is Uncle Gan, who is also a very humble, faithful and encouraging elder to me…
