人生這本書(shū)要一頁(yè)一頁(yè)讀

夏霏霏

I have the bad habit of skipping to the last pages of a book to see how it ends while I am still in the middle of it. This habit annoyed first my Mom， then my friends， and finally even my own daughter.

Often my impatience wouldn’t be confined just to the books I read but also to what they were reading as well. Finally one day my daughter told me in exasperation，“Dad please just read a book one page at a time like every-one else！”

At times I haven’t limited this bad habit to just books either. I have also tried to skip ahead in my own life and figure out what to do months and even years from now instead of embracing each day as God intended.

I knew that the book of my life wasn’t done yet and that I had many pages left to go. Still， that didn’t stop me from trying to write the ending half-way through.

Time and again， I would foolishly jump ahead and try to solve every conceivable problem before it happened so I could reach that storybook happily ever after ending.

Life， however， doesn’t work like that. God loves to surprise us， and you never know what new problem， change， or opportunity each new day will bring.

Recently when I found myself returning to that bad habit of rushing ahead and living in the future again， I found a special vocce which gently told me I needed to“l(fā)ive one day at a time.”

When I heard those words I smiled， turned the book of my life back to the right page， and thanked God for today.

There is no skipping ahead in the book of life. Each of us has to live it one page and one day at a time. Each of us has to have faith to write our life line by line and moment by moment.

我有一個(gè)壞習(xí)慣就是看書(shū)看到一半，就翻到最后看結(jié)局。我的母親、我的朋友，連我的女兒都很不喜歡我這樣。

我是個(gè)急性子，不光我自己讀書(shū)這樣，我還管著別人讀書(shū)。最后我的女兒爆發(fā)了，“爸爸，你能不能像人家讀書(shū)一樣，每次就讀一頁(yè)！”

我的急性子不止在讀書(shū)這個(gè)方面。在生活中我也時(shí)不時(shí)的會(huì)這樣。想要知道未來(lái)幾個(gè)月甚至幾年要做什么，而不是像上天推崇的那樣享受當(dāng)下。

我知道自己人生的這本書(shū)沒(méi)有結(jié)束，還有很多頁(yè)沒(méi)有讀。然而，我還會(huì)臆想結(jié)局。

有時(shí)我總是愚蠢地想象著書(shū)中的結(jié)局，杞人憂(yōu)天般的考慮著還沒(méi)發(fā)生的問(wèn)題，我總是能很高興地自動(dòng)帶入書(shū)中情節(jié)，不管書(shū)中結(jié)局怎樣。

然而生活不是這樣。上天喜歡給我們驚喜。每一天你都不會(huì)知道自己會(huì)遇上什么問(wèn)題、改變或者機(jī)會(huì)。

最近我發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)心浮氣躁、活在未來(lái)的壞習(xí)慣又開(kāi)始作祟。這時(shí)我隱隱地聽(tīng)到一個(gè)特別的聲音對(duì)我悄聲說(shuō)著“活在當(dāng)下”。

當(dāng)我聽(tīng)到這些話(huà)，我會(huì)心地笑了。感謝上天讓我領(lǐng)悟到如何將人生之書(shū)翻到正確的頁(yè)碼。

人生不可能像看書(shū)跳過(guò)開(kāi)頭就去看結(jié)尾一樣。人生一天一天度過(guò)，書(shū)也要一頁(yè)一頁(yè)讀。我們要深信我們的人生要一行行，一刻刻地書(shū)寫(xiě)。
