Chapter 33 Treasure the gift of life

Life itself is the best gift. As long as you know how to cherish and accept the process of suffering, it is also a kind of happiness. In the dead of night, what do you pray to heaven?A person who loves you, the warmth of a home, or a smooth career. If, so far, you have not received a specific answer from God.Perhaps, what God wants to tell you is that life itself is the best gift. As long as you know how to cherish and accept the process of suffering, it is also a kind of happiness. I have always firmly believed that as long as I pray sincerely, believe in myself, and do it with my heart, my dreams will come true in the end.

However, the blueprint of life will not go completely according to our own plan after all, sometimes there are surprises and sometimes accidents.When the sky does not follow people's wishes, instead of being depressed and suffering, it is better to stop temporarily, check the distance between dreams and reality, and adjust your pace before starting. The book "Happy Everyday" excerpts a famous quote from Proust: the sick are closer to their souls than normal people.It is definitely a joy to be alive and healthy.But if you accidentally lose your health, you might as well learn to find a new perspective on life during the illness and change your view on the pain, which may also make your life develop in a more positive direction.

Moderately changing the angle of the original dream may bring greater happiness in life.At any time, we must let ourselves live better, because it is worth it! People who have been tortured in life can better understand how good it is to be alive! The successful case of conjoined twins separation surgery, which is well-known in the international medical field, gave birth to two brothers Zhongren and Zhongyi.On the 20th anniversary of the successful operation, TV news programs made a series of caring reports. At that time, I was washing dishes in the kitchen. When I heard this news report, I ran to the TV in the living room without bothering to get my hands covered in foam from dish soap. Feels great!Taught me to be both touched and ashamed.Even my mother, who was sick, shed tears of true emotion because she was encouraged to sit on the sofa.

Those who suffer have no right to be pessimistic.The positive and optimistic attitudes of the two brothers Zhongren and Zhongyi make them and others almost forget that they are a pair of suffering brothers and sisters.Not only are they inconvenient to move, but they also have to go back to the hospital for medical treatment every week. They are still full of gratitude and expectation for life.I also sent a message of blessing to the parents who are too busy to meet each other, saying: We are living well, and I hope you are also well! Once I heard a friend beside me who was alive and well looked at the suffering of life from a very negative perspective and said: If it were me who suffered so much, I might as well stop living!

Sometimes, based on a kind of empathy and compassion, I will be influenced and even persuaded by this statement to some extent. However, since I saw Zhongren and Zhongyi on TV, they said: It feels so good to be alive!In the future, I will invite these pessimistic friends to deeply recall the meaning of this sentence. Life is the best gift God bestows on us My good friend, Mr. Huang Daxuan, has put a lot of effort into filming TV programs caring for the disadvantaged groups over the years. He sent me a video of the program called The Last Gift. In the middle of the night, before I started to do my usual writing homework, I couldn't wait to turn on the video recorder and watch his elaborate program.The content talks about the feelings of the patients and their families in the hospice ward in the face of death.In many of these real cases, the courage to face the last stage of life bravely, even fear becomes calm, which is very moving.

A woman accompanied her father who was suffering from cancer through the last part of her life. She said: Being able to accompany my father during this period is the last gift my father gave me. This sentence touched my heartstrings and sang the sweet feeling in my heart.I can already empathize with it. Hard work is a deeper kind of happiness than happiness. The elderly father sent the stroke mother to the hospital for rehabilitation and acupuncture every day. I finished the live radio program and drove to the clinic to pick them up.Looking for a parking space along the road, while looking for a lunch, struggling to cross the never-ending roads and crowds in the downtown area of ​​Taipei, the happy touch flowed oncoming.I believe this is the best gift God has given our family.

Compared with terminal cancer, for our chronic disease patients and their families, God has given us more time to share the gift of life. And the awareness of happiness does not need any pain to remind you, as long as you are willing to cherish, you can open the door of your heart now, and enjoy the gift of life while your family is still healthy and happy.
