"Never stop BELIEVING because MIRACLES happen everyday!"
“永远不要停止‘相信’，因为奇迹每天都会发生!”
Around six months after our son Todd’s death, our younger son Brandon (then almost three) began stuttering. Brandon and I went for a walk each night, and about this time we saw a dead, decaying bird lying on the side of the road. Brandon referred to the bird as being "dead, just like Todd." He spoke of Todd often, and many people suggested that he needed professional help to deal with Todd’s death.
我们的儿子Todd死后大约6个月，我们的小儿子Brandon(那时大约3岁)开始口吃。我和Brandon每天晚上都出去散步，那次我们看见了一只死了的腐烂的鸟躺在路边。Brandon说：“这只鸟死了，像Todd一样”。他总是提到Todd，很多人都说他需要专业帮助帮他面对Todd的死亡。
As I prayed about Brandon’s problem, it seemed that the Lord was telling me to bury the bird. But I argued against this. I did not even want to touch this one!
因为我曾经为了Brandon的问题向上帝祈祷，好像上帝就在告诉我要把这只鸟埋起来。但我却不想那样做，我甚至都不想碰这只鸟!
Finally, I gave in. We scooped up the bird in a bucket and brought it home. I told Brandon to shake the bird and call it; I did the same. I then told him that only Jesus could wake the little bird. I quoted the Bible and told him that one day Jesus would come back and call with a loud voice, and all who loved Him would come alive again. I said we would see Todd the minute Jesus woke him.
最终我屈服了，我们把鸟铲进桶里带回了家，我让Brandon摇一摇那只小鸟并叫叫它，我也那样做了，然后我告诉他只有耶稣能把小鸟弄醒。我引用了《圣经》里的故事，告诉他有一天耶稣会复活，然后大声一喊，所有爱他的人都会重生，我说等耶稣叫醒Todd我们就能看到他了。
The next morning when Brandon woke up, he did not stutter, and he has not stuttered since that date. A miracle? Yes, I believe it was, and even though the idea to bury the bird seemed ridicules to me it had been the answer to my prayers.
第二天早上Brandon醒来就不结巴了，从那天起再没口吃过。这是奇迹吗?是的，我相信这是奇迹，即使埋葬鸟的想法对我来说很荒谬，但这是对我的祈祷的回应。
Never stop believing because miracles happen everyday!
永远不要停止‘相信’，因为奇迹每天都会发生!
