【我們的家】恩典之路

 

感謝神!我所有的療程都完成了!從手術、化療到電療後的康復,一共九個月。在這九個月中,經歷神許多許多的恩典。而這九個月,也是我過去的人生中,和神最親密的日子。

感謝神!今天我對治療的過程是有記憶,但當中的辛苦感覺竟然忘記了。這是神在我腦海中做的一件奇妙的事。起初,我對乳癌這個病是非常恐懼的。現在回想過去的療程,也不是想像中那麼可怕。原因是,在我過去的療程中,我看到神是如何保守我,陪伴我去經過。若要數算這九個月中的恩典,真不能一下子說完。

昨天,貓太參加香港乳癌基金會舉辦的,預防淋巴水腫運動。那裡的參加者,都是乳癌患者。見到許多同路人,發覺幸福不是必然。神給我的恩典,我要數算,不要當作理所當然。

在運動班裡,看到不少同路人,出現淋巴水腫,又有些同路人,她們的手還未能舉高。其實,在手術後第二天,透過醫院的護士,貓太得知切除了淋巴後,日後的手會有機會出現淋巴水腫。另外,切除乳房的手術,也會令到手的活動有困難。感謝神!貓太沒有出現淋巴水腫,手的活動也很自如。這不是必然的事,乃是神透過不同的人,給我很好的資訊,教導我如何做手部運動,使我可以依照她們的教導,做合適的運動。

運動班完了,在升降機中,又聽到一件令我感恩的事。兩個同路人在傾談關於吃賀爾蒙藥的事,其中一個是需要吃賀爾蒙藥,另一個則不需要。需要吃賀爾蒙藥的同路人表示,吃藥後有很多副作用,還要吃五年。其實乳癌也有分三種,其中一種叫三陰性乳癌,是對賀爾蒙沒有反應的,因此,沒有賀爾蒙藥吃;貓太也是屬於這種。

當貓太的主診醫生知道我的乳癌類型是三陰性時,她的反應是要快快做化療,因為沒有藥能治療,很容易復發。當時貓太很不開心,我問神:為何會這樣?我已經有乳癌,為何還要有這種沒有藥能治療的種類?神給我的回答是:『不是忘記,我是醫治你的神,我一早已經知道是甚麼類型,這是我容許的。因為我的醫治,是不管它是甚麼類型的。腫瘤雖然惡,卻已被割除。』神又對我說:『你的癌細胞雖惡,必變成無有;雖容易翻發,必有我的保守。』神已經為我計劃好,是否復發,不是在乎哪一類型,只在乎神的旨意。

在我見腫瘤科醫生了解自己的情況時,腫瘤科醫生告訴我:「你的癌細胞雖然屬於惡人中的惡人,但己經清除了。只不過是,不能有多幾種藥能選擇。」感謝神!祂對我所說的話,在醫生口中再講一次。雖然表面上是沒有其他藥選擇,但其實神已經替我選了。在人的眼中看來,我的類型是沒有能治療的藥。但在神的計劃中,不吃這些藥,是使我免於這些藥的副作用。神一直在為我預備,祂是愛我的神,必為我預備最合適的給我。

得了癌症之後,使我清楚知道人的軟弱。在軟弱中,神使我知道,倚靠祂必有出路。即使我面對困難,只要倚靠神,祂必會帶我經過。神沒有叫信靠祂人的人免除困難,乃是給信靠祂的人有能力,可以跨越這些困難。

一個最好、最有智慧的父親,不是為他的孩子預備一條無風無浪的路,不是為他的孩子挪開路上一切的障礙。乃是用他的智慧和能力,在風雨中與他的孩子同行,教導他的孩子如何跨過障礙。神為信靠祂的人所預備的,是一條恩典之路。

『我將這些事告訴你們,是要叫你們在我裏面有平安。在世上你們有苦難。但你們可以放心,我已經勝了世界。』約翰福音十六章卅三節
