谢谢你，让我看见一丝光芒
文/7979同工

一天早上，明婶（化名）如常骑着摩多车到热闹的巴刹，那是她工作的地方。把摩多车停放好，正要走进巴刹时，突然眼前一片黑暗，看不见任何东西……

经过医生的诊断，明婶的糖尿病指数过高，导致一只眼睛完全失明，另一只眼睛将近失明。明婶必须放弃她最爱喝的冰咖啡，也需注意饮食健康。医生建议她饮用Abbott Glucerna，有助于降低血糖。于是明审的弟弟致电宝石浸信会7979全人关怀站求助，三位志工便出队探访。
​
志工探访中得知，明婶家徒四壁，丈夫已离世，留下明婶和一个儿子相依为命。儿子的薪资微薄，他们一向省吃俭用。明婶最担心的不是自己的病，而是自己不能工作，还需长期服用营养奶粉，会加重儿子的负担。于是教会为她申请7979吗哪食物银行，供应特殊奶粉，以减低他们的生活开销。在不久前的探访中，志工发现，明婶的家里没有洗衣机，想起一位姐妹家里最近更换洗衣机，旧的还完好无损，就即刻安排转送洗衣机到明婶的家。志工只是用了常人拥有的视觉，默默观察明婶的需要，却让失明的明婶仿佛看见了一丝光茫，被这份可贵的精神所感动。

One morning, Aunt Ming (not her real name) went to the wet market on her motorcycle as usual. That was the place she made her living. After parking her motorcycle, she made her way to the wet market. Suddenly, her vision went black and she could not see anything ...

A doctor’s diagnosis suggested that Aunt Ming's blood glucose level was too high, causing one of her eyes to be completely blind and the other to be nearly blind. She must give up her favourite iced coffee and maintain a healthy diet. The doctor has advised her to consume Abbott Glucerna, a nutritious milk powder, to lower her blood sugar level. Three volunteers from Permata Baptist Church visited Aunt Ming after receiving a call from her younger brother seeking help.
​
During the visit, the volunteers learned that Aunt Ming is a widow living in a four-wall empty house with her only son. Her son’s income is meagre and they have always been living frugally. What worries her most is not her illness, but her inability to continue working and her long-term need to take this expensive nutritious milk powder, which will definitely increase her son’s burden. Consequently, the Church helped her to apply for the 7979 Manna Food Bank which would also include the free supply of the nutritious milk powder to reduce her living expenses. Recently, the volunteers noticed that there was no washing machine in Aunt Ming's house. They remembered a Church sister had recently replaced her old but functional washing machine with a new one. The volunteers immediately arranged for delivery of the used washing machine to Aunt Ming’s house. Aunt Ming is deeply moved by the good gestures as what seems to be a normal observation of her needs by the volunteers has allowed her, who is nearly blind, to see a ray of light.
