Brother L is a survivor of cancer. He carries 2 pouches with him for 12 years now. He looked so cheerful though. He jokes that he has no need to queue for toilet. He told us that God has a special purpose in his life. God granted his wish to be a teacher (part-time basis) and also he volunteers in hospital. . He lives an active life, and looks fit and healthy. Above all, he has such a positive attitude. He is such an encouragement to me.
I did not expect Brother H to visit me the second time in the hospital. He had just completed an appointment with NCC, and asked Sister Ong, the Snr Nurse at the ward, whether he could visit anyone at the ward. I felt so blessed to hear him shared his story. He has retired with a CPF withdrawal amount of mere S$4800, but he is one of the richest person I have seen. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer many years back. The doctor could not bear to break the news to him. He was however relaxed and asked the doctor whether he had the disease. Doctor nodded and told him unfortunately the cancer had spread to other organs. He still had the amazing courage to joke with the doctor. The doctor admired him, and related his courage to many colleagues. He was operated straightaway. Chemotherapy of the most direct form, which was attaching a ball like dispenser to his body was given. This allowed medication dripping into his body 24/7 basis. He survived the disease, and now he is encouraging people who are suffering. He gave practical tips on how to take care of oneself after the op.:
how to move around,
avoid lifting heavy stuffs for the first few months;
accepting the fact of life;
staying healthy through proper exercising etc.... He now climbs staircases to his 8-storey high flat. He does not look his age of later 50s.
They are such wonderful testimony for the Lord, and I am so blessed to hear directly from them, witnessing their positive attitude, and their willingness to help others so selflessly. They are indeed like angels from God. Thank God for these 2 brothers that He sent. I am motivated to be like them.
手术后两天，L弟兄与H弟兄出现在我的病榻前。他们看起来与常人无异，直到他们分享他们的生命。
L弟兄是前癌患者。12年前他经过手术，身上带着两个袋袋。他还开玩笑说他不用跟人家争用洗手间。他分享说神如何照顾他，让他在他感兴趣的教学方面担任起兼职教师，另一方面他在医院担任义工。他认为这是神在他生命中特别的计划。他积极乐观的态度，健康的身心灵大大的激励了我。
我完全没料到H弟兄第二次的到访。他刚在NCC做过检验，就问O高级护士是否有人可探访的。第一次来访时他介绍了支援小组的工作，成员包括了年轻年长的。第二次他更多的分享他的生命。他说自己是个退休人士，55岁退休时仅仅领取了新币4800元的公积金。不过在我眼中，他是个最富足的人之一。他照顾妈妈，做义工，过健康的生活，信靠主。当年他被诊出处于癌症的最末期，医生不忍心通知他这消息。他却能处之泰然，知悉后还能跟医生开玩笑。医生佩服他的勇气，也跟许多同事分享。开刀后，他马上开始化疗，用的是最直接的接一个球状的点滴接在他身上，24小时的把药打进身体里。（医生后来说这是最少副作用的疗法）。他分享来许多如何照顾自己的提示：
1。 如何在走动时保护自己
2。 避免在手术后数月拿重物
3。 接受生活
4。 尽量保持健康的体魄
目前他生龙活虎地健康活着，每天爬8层楼到自己的房子。
能亲耳听到他们的分享，为主做见证，是多么有福的。他们无私的付出，乐观的精神，给了我莫大的鼓励。他们是主派来的天使。见贤思齐，我也要像他们一般，坚强，乐观，健康的出去分享。
