o; if things had been different。” Those words were never said aloud。

He has been gone many years now; but I think of him often。 I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks。 If he did; I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was; how unworthy I was; how I regretted it。 I think of him when I plain about trifles; when I am envious of another’s good fortune; when I don’t have a “good heart”。

At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance; and say; “you set the pace; I will try to adjust to you。”

一杯牛奶的溫暖

佚名

一天,一個可憐的小男孩兒為湊足學費正挨家挨戶地推銷商品。他發現身上只剩一角錢了,此時他很餓,因此決定從下一家要點兒吃的。

然而,當一位年輕貌美的女子開啟門時,他卻緊張得不知所措。他沒有要吃的,只是要了口水喝。女子看到小男孩兒飢餓的樣子,頓生憐憫之心,便倒了一大杯牛奶遞給他。他慢慢地喝光了牛奶,問道:“我需要付您多少錢呢?”

“你不必付錢給我,”女子答道,“媽媽教育我說,愛心善舉,不求回報。”男孩說:“那麼我就發自內心地向您說聲謝謝!”當霍華德?凱利走出這戶人家時,他覺得渾身充滿了力量,也對上帝和整個人類充滿了信心。原本,他打算放棄。

若干年後,那位女子得了重病,當地醫生都束手無策。最後,她轉院到大城市,接受專家會診。著名的霍華德?凱利醫生也參與了醫療方案的制定。當他得知這位病人來自那個城鎮時,一個奇怪的念頭閃過,他立即起身直奔她的病房。

身著白大褂的凱利醫生走進了病房,一眼便認出了那個女子,她正是他的恩人。回到診室,他下定決心要竭盡全力醫治她。從那天起,他就對恩人給予了特殊的照顧。

經過艱苦卓絕的努力,手術終獲成功。凱利醫生要求把醫藥費結算單送到他那兒,他看了一下,便在上面簽了字。當結算單送到女子的病房時,她甚至不敢開啟來看,因為她知道這醫藥費一定極其昂貴,或許她要用整個餘生去償還。最後,她還是鼓足勇氣開啟了看,她注意到單子旁邊的一行小字,不禁小聲地念起來:

“醫藥費已由一杯牛奶支付。”

(署名)霍華德?凱利醫生

喜悅的淚水奪眶而出,她不禁默默祈禱:“感謝您,上帝!您的愛已經透過人類的心靈和雙手傳遞開來。”
