Dumping Ground for Diverse Dictus Thoughts of Me
这是我所喜欢的一首诗歌
《一》
我不知 明天的道路 每一天 只为主活
我不惜 明天的太阳 因明天 或许阴暗
我不要 为将来忧虑 因我信 主的应许
我今天 要与主同行 因他知 前面如何
《副歌》
有许多 未来的事情 我现在 不能识透
但我知 谁管着明天 我也知 谁牵我手
《二》
每一步 越走越光明 象攀登 黄金阶梯
每重担 越挑越轻省 每朵云 披上银衣
在那里 阳光常普照 在那里 没有眼泪
在美丽 彩虹的尽头 众山岭 与天相连
《三》
我不知 明天的道路 或遭遇 生活苦楚
但那位 养活麻雀者 他必然 也眷顾我
他是我 旅途的良伴 或经过 水灭之灾
但救主 必与我同在 他宝血 把我遮盖
Mr Lam passed away last Tuesday morning at the age of 90. Our hearts throbbed when we heard the news. He loved us and the people from the church and we in turn loved him. His wake held over only that night was the shortest and funeral I’ve attended. The simpleness reflect upon his life and faith he had.
His name “Ah Kow” means no.9, likely referring to his position among his siblings, but we addressed him “Ah Cek”. He was a construction worker until he lost his sight and his wife took care of him thereafter. Despite the lost of sight, he senses were amazing sharp. He knew the monetary value of notes by touching them, and was always happy and generous to give out “ang pows”. When we used to take the bus back together, he always knew when the bus arrived home without anyone tell him. “Kam Sia Zhu” (感谢主, or “Thank God”), the phrase he never failed to say in Hokkien as he prepares his walking stick as the bus makes turns in the carpark to his block.
Always excited when we visited him at his home, he asks and talks events which happen recently and the people who visited him. Never do we hear him grumble or complain. Each time, he would reside the bible verses he memorised, sing the favorite hymns in dialects (十字架，主我赐平安 etc) and pray.
Mr Lam sense of time is very good. Even with my sight to see day and night, calendars and time, often I am ashamed that he could tell and remember dates and time better than I. Not too long ago, Mr Lam fell sick, stayed in a hospital before staying at a home. About 2 weeks back the last time I met him, we visited him at the home. Not being able to see, hard of hearing, without the appetite to eat, I thought that was a difficult time for him but alas, not a sign of complain or murmuring he shows us.
Instead he sings, gives praise and shared his testimony with Hokkien mixed with some other dialects. 91 years old he says he was (thats quite accurate). And he shared how he was saved when Rev Ang reached out to him in the 80s. While he was speaking, I noticed tears flowing from his closed eyes. I thought he was perhaps in pain and because we just woke him up from his sleep. But I now know his tears were of hope, and somehow he knew he was going his meet his Redeemer soon.
There may be many reasons why we loved him, but the faith he had was why we have to look up to him.
p.s. This is the 3rd elderly men I know passed away in the past 7 months. I wrote this post earlier in my book. After numerous procrastination I decided to post it online.
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Romans 12:15
This week Mr Ee passed away, and the 2nd funeral I attend in 2 weeks. Apart from my grandmother, he’s an elderly whom I’ve seen and interacted more than other elderlies of the wakes of I’ve attended. His testimonies in church and the love seen through his family members touches me. Although I always never feel too sad, I’m start to realise the grief that the love ones face may be more than what I understand.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:4
