And whose text message did I receive that day that touched my heart so much?
那天我收到这一则简讯。。。是我没有预料的，来自一个不是很常会传简讯给我的人，即使有，通常他也只传“官方”内容的简讯，可是这一次不一样。。。
这一次的内容让我惊讶，是出乎我所料的，但却深深温暖了我的心。。。
就是以下这则简讯：
That day I received this text message… something I did not expect, not someone who would usually send text messages to me, and if the person does, the content would be quite formal, but not this time…
This time the content surprised me, something I really did not expect, but it deeply warmed my heart…
It is this text message below:
那是星期日早上，我在家预备去教会，简讯说：
“牧师早安！记得带那台湾饼干给那特殊小孩哦。。。”
这有什么那么感动的？原来背后有段故事。。。
That was Sunday morning as I was preparing to go to church, the message reminded me to bring to church some biscuits I brought back from Taiwan, to give to a special child.
But what was so touching about that? There is a story behind…
有一个家庭，不久前因着家里有这位特殊儿而来到教会，孩子特别过动且有学习障碍和难以控制，父母亲已深感无助和沮丧，一直到来了教会在耶稣里找到盼望和安慰。
这孩子特别喜欢我也挺黏我，你看连看着荧幕上的我，他都可以那么专注。每一次散会后，他会坚持上来要我祷告后才愿意回家，我每次也会确定跟他祷告和给他一个拥抱。祷告后他一定会向我要一瓶矿泉水，才开开心心的回家，要不然他就会哭闹不肯走。我的助理也习惯了，所以都会预备好瓶子给他。
那个星期六晚上，刚好没有货了，男孩无法体会就要开始哭闹，不要回家了。我就抱着他，跟他说他若乖乖听话，我明早会带我台湾带回来的饼干给他吃；他竟然听懂了，就很开心说他明天要饼干，就肯回家了。
There is this family that came to church not long ago because of this special child, the child is hyperactive and has learning difficulty and hard to keep under control. The parents were very desperate and depressed because of his condition but they found hope and comfort in Jesus when they came to church.
The child somehow adores me and gets quite attached to me, see how fixated he is even when watching my on-screen image. Each time after a church meeting, he would insist to come up to be prayed for by me before he is willing to go home, and I would make sure I pray for him and give him a hug too each time. Then, he would always ask from me a bottle of mineral water after prayer before going home happily, otherwise he would kick up a fuss and refuse to go. My assistants are used to that and they are always ready with the bottle for him.
That particular Saturday night, we ran out of stock, and the boy could not comprehend that and was about to cry and refusing to go home. Then I hugged and told him if he behaved and listened to me, then I would the next morning bring him some biscuits I brought back from Taiwan, and he could understand me. He happily said he wanted the biscuit the next morning and was willing to go home then.
收到助理提醒我带饼干的简讯会让我感动是因为，原来助理不但在教会很尽责，站在我背后也很专心听我跟小孩讲话，回了家也没忘记。这证明他把小孩的需要放在心上，要不然他不会怕我忘记带饼干来，而让孩子失望哭闹。。。
我真的很欣赏我助理这一点，我真的没想到他会一大早传简讯给我，提醒我带饼干给那特殊小孩（虽然我也没忘记）。
你不感动吗？换着是你，你会不会这样做？
所以，我决定原谅阿蚊上一届运动会在200米赛项跑赢我了，哈哈哈哈！！
Receiving that text message from my assistant was touching to me because, I realized he was not only very responsible while at church, he was also listening attentively when I talked to the little boy, and he did not forget when he went home. That showed he put the boy’s needs on his heart too, other wise he would not have been concerned that I might for get to bring the biscuit and thus disappointing and upsetting the child…
I was really impressed with that, I really did not expect him to text me early that morning ti remind me about bringing the biscuit for that special boy (though I did not forget too).
Are you not touched? Would you have done the same if it were you?
So I have decided to forgive Ah Boon for beating me in the 200m race in our last sports meet, hahahaha!!
