Kukabiliana na Hatua za Maisha na Jumuiya zetu za Imani<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Siku ya Jumapili asubuhi miaka 20 iliyopita, niliketi na Rafiki, Sandy, nyumbani kwake wakati wa saa yetu ya ibada ya saa 10 asubuhi katika Mkutano wa Atlanta (Ga.). Alikuwa katika huduma ya hospitali ya nyumbani baada ya miaka kadhaa ya kupambana na saratani. Akijua siku na wakati, katikati ya saa, alisema, ”Mary Ann, lazima uwaambie waniache niende.” Nilipoketi nikitingisha kichwa na kulia, alisema, ”Sasa! Nenda!” Niliendesha gari hadi kwenye mkutano na, kwa machozi, nikauliza Marafiki wamruhusu aende. Alikufa wiki moja baadaye. <\/p>\n\n

Jumamosi alasiri mwaka wa 2023, niliketi katika chumba chetu cha mikutano na kikundi kidogo cha Marafiki 18 waliokusanyika kusaidia Lynn, Georgia, na mtoto wao, David, kwa uamuzi wa Lynn wa kusitisha matibabu ya hali nyingi za kiafya. Lynn alipenda kutania kila kitu, na ujumbe kwenye fulana aliyokuwa amevaa ulisomeka, \u201cBado sijafa.\u201d Ilionyesha vizuri jitihada yake ya kushikilia maisha, na tulijua ilikuwa vigumu kwake kutuambia, \u201cNimechoka, na ninataka uniache niende.\u201d Georgia alituambia kwamba alitaka kuheshimu matakwa yake na alihitaji msaada wetu. Baada ya miaka 40 ya ndoa na familia yenye upendo, walijua kwamba walikabili changamoto ya kila siku katika wakati wake uliobaki. Mkutano huu wa Lynn ulikuwa wakati wa kutayarisha kikundi hiki kwa ajili ya kazi iliyo mbele, kwa kutumia masomo tuliyogundua tulipokuwa tukimsaidia Sandy na mume wake, John, katika mwaka wa mwisho wa maisha yake. <\/p>\n\n

Tulikubali kufanya kazi katika timu tisa za watu wawili, kila timu ikiwa kwenye simu kwa wiki moja kwa wakati mmoja. Wakati sisi sote tulikuwa washiriki wa Mkutano wa Atlanta, hatukujua sote vizuri na kwa hivyo tulianza na utangulizi, kuelezea jinsi tulivyowajua Lynn na Georgia na ujuzi ambao tungeweza kutoa. Katika muda wa miezi mitatu tuliyofanya kazi pamoja kabla ya kifo cha Lynn, nilistaajabishwa na ukarimu wa kila Rafiki lakini pia na kile tulichopata katika mchakato wa kufanya kazi pamoja. Kushiriki utunzaji, kuomba msaada kutoka kwa wengine kwenye timu na katika mkutano, kuliimarisha jumuiya yetu na kila mmoja wetu. <\/p>\n\n

Ninatambua kwamba mchakato wa kushiriki utunzaji pia hutoa masomo katika kupenda na kuacha. Nilijiuliza ni nini kiliwapa Sandy na Lynn ujasiri na imani ya kutuomba tuwaachie kwa ajili ya mabadiliko yao ya mwisho na ni nini kilitusaidia kutimiza ombi hilo. Je, inaweza kuwa kwamba kuhusika huku kulitusaidia kujiandaa kwa ajili ya kupita kwetu siku moja? Je, tuna matumaini ya kiroho, na kuamini kwamba njia hiyo itatokea hata katika kifo? Nikitafakari uzoefu wangu mwenyewe, naona jinsi kuzaliwa katika usalama wa familia na jumuiya yenye upendo kulinifundisha hitaji la jumuiya na kutegemeana kwetu. Uhuru wa kuachana na mahusiano haya ya mapema nilipokuwa tayari na kupata usaidizi mpya ulinisaidia kukuza ujasiri wa kujiachilia, nikiamini ningepata njia yangu. Nyumba yangu kati ya Marafiki hunifundisha imani ya kiroho yenye matumaini. <\/p>\n\n

Jumapili moja kabla ya kifo cha Lynn, nilitafakari ombi lake nilipokuwa kwenye mkutano wa ibada. Nilimsikia rafiki mdogo akitazama nje ya dirisha kwenye ndege, akitaja kile alichokiona kama bibi yake akimshika kwa mikono wazi. Nilikumbuka kumuona bibi huyu na mume wake wakileta kila mmoja wa watoto wao watatu kwenye mkutano, na niliwatazama wakikua na kuwa wazazi wenye watoto. Jinsi alivyomshika mjukuu wake ilinikumbusha shauri la mshairi Kahlil Gibran kwamba watoto wetu si watoto wetu kweli bali \u201cmatamanio ya Maisha yenyewe. Wanakupitia wewe lakini si kutoka kwako.\u201d Niligundua kuwa tunawapenda na kuwaacha wale ambao tunataka kuwashikilia tangu watoto wetu wanazaliwa. Uzazi, ufundishaji, na aina nyingi za malezi hutoa changamoto za kila siku katika kujiachilia, tunapotazama watoto wakikua kupitia hatua za ukuaji hadi utu uzima. Wanakuwa walimu wetu na hutusaidia kuendelea kujifunza kujiachilia wanapokuwa tayari, na kuwa pale wanapoanguka na kuhitaji usaidizi katika umri wowote. <\/p>\n\n

Watoto wanajifunza masomo haya, pia, wanapozaliwa katika familia yenye upendo. Watoto wachanga wanapojifunza kutembea, hupata usaidizi wa kuchukua hatua zinazofuata wanapokuwa tayari. Nakumbuka uzoefu wangu wa utotoni nikihitaji viatu maalum vya miguu bapa na vifundo vya miguu vilivyo dhaifu ili niweze kutembea na hatimaye, nikiwa na umri wa miaka kumi, nilisherehekea siku ambayo sikuhitaji tena viatu maalum. Mfano huu ni mmoja tu wa misaada mingi ambayo nilikuwa nayo katika kusonga mbele zaidi ya utegemezo wa familia. <\/p>\n\n

Nikiwa na umri wa miaka 78, ninajifunza matumaini ya kiroho ya mwisho wa maisha na ninajua kwamba ninapofuata mifano ya Sandy na Lynn na kuomba jumuiya hii iniruhusu niende, nitapata usaidizi huo. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Ilikuwa muhimu kwangu kukua katika jumuiya ya imani. Shughuli za kanisa\u2014na zilikuwa nyingi\u2014zilinipa familia ya pili yenye mahusiano yenye nguvu. Lottie, mlezi wangu wa kitalu na rafiki kwa miaka 60, alinifundisha kwamba Mungu ni upendo na aliishi katika Roho huyo. Usaidizi wake na usaidizi wa familia yangu uliendelea nilipoelekea kupata uhuru, nikiondoka nyumbani kwenda chuo kikuu, kazi, ndoa, na umama. <\/p>\n\n

Jumuiya yangu ya imani pia ilinifundisha kwamba tunategemeana, kusaidia wengine inapohitajika na kupokea msaada kwa mahitaji yetu. Hilo lilikuwa kweli hasa kwa familia yetu wakati wa miaka minne kati ya mshtuko wa moyo wa kwanza wa baba yangu na kifo chake nilipokuwa na umri wa miaka 17, katika mwaka wangu wa mwisho wa shule ya upili. Ingawa sikuiona wakati huo, sasa ninatambua kwamba wazazi wangu wote wawili walipata utegemezo wa marafiki katika jumuiya ya kanisa letu la Baptist wakati huo, kama vile mkutano wangu ulivyowafanyia Sandy na Lynn. <\/p>\n\n

Kutokuwepo kwa jumuiya ya kidini wakati wa miaka yangu ya chuo kikuu na baada ya kupata mtoto kulikuwa vikumbusho vya nguvu vya hitaji langu la usaidizi huu. Niliona kwamba hata nilipokua katika kujitegemea, nilihitaji nyumba, mahali pa kulisha Roho ndani yangu, mwongozo wa marafiki, na kusaidia kumfundisha binti yangu. Baada ya kuhudhuria Mkutano wa Stony Run huko Baltimore, Maryland, wakati wa mradi wa Kamati ya Huduma ya Marafiki wa Marekani wakati wa kiangazi, nilihudhuria Mkutano wa Charlotte (NC) na binti yangu mdogo kwa miaka kadhaa. Nilipata nyumba kati ya Marafiki huko Atlanta (Ga.) Mkutano mnamo 1979. <\/p>\n\n

Katika mojawapo ya ziara zangu za kwanza kwa Mkutano wa Mwaka wa Kusini mwa Appalachi, nilisikia mwanamke akiimba wimbo unaoanza \u201cSisi ni wamoja katika Roho; sisi ni wamoja katika Bwana\u201d wakati wa ibada. Nilijihisi nikithibitisha maneno hayo kwa mwili na akili yangu yote, nikiwa na msingi katika imani, na kuhisi nimeshikwa katika mikono ya Mungu na jumuiya hii salama. Maneno ya wimbo huu na mengine yaliyojifunza katika kanisa langu la Kibaptisti mara nyingi huja akilini katika ibada kama uthibitisho wa imani ambayo huniweka msingi katika kazi kwa ajili ya mkutano wetu na kuunga mkono huduma yangu kusafiri kati ya Marafiki na maandishi yangu. <\/p>\n\n

Hivi majuzi, nimegundua kwamba maombi ya Sandy na Lynn kwa sisi kuwaachilia pia yalikuwa uthibitisho wa imani, kukiri kwamba walikuwa wameshikiliwa na jumuiya yetu vya kutosha na kwa muda wa kutosha kwamba walimwamini Spirit kwenda nao katika safari yao. Maombi yao yalionyesha imani, matumaini ya kiroho kwamba kifo hakikuwa mwisho wa safari yao bali ni mwendelezo. Nilikumbushwa maneno yaliyohusishwa na Pierre Teilhard de Chardin kwamba sisi si wanadamu tu wenye uzoefu wa kiroho lakini viumbe wa kiroho wenye uzoefu wa kibinadamu. Maandishi yake yanathibitisha imani yetu kama Marafiki kwamba tumezaliwa na Nuru ya Mungu ndani, mwongozo wa kiroho ambao tunaweza kugeukia kwa changamoto zote za uzoefu huu wa kibinadamu. Kifo, katika imani yetu, ni hatua katika safari, mwendelezo wa safari yetu ya kiroho. <\/p>\n\n

Tangu 1979 nimepokea usaidizi wa jumuiya yangu ya mkutano kwa changamoto nyingi za maisha: kifo cha mume wangu Dave, kiharusi changu, sherehe ya ndoa ya pili, na furaha na huzuni nyingine nyingi. Nikiwa na umri wa miaka 78, ninajifunza matumaini ya kiroho ya mwisho wa maisha na ninajua kwamba ninapofuata mifano ya Sandy na Lynn na kuomba jumuiya hii iniruhusu niende, nitapata usaidizi huo.<\/p>\n\n
