“你跟神的关系怎么样啊?你有没有经常祷告,敬拜,读经,或者服侍神呢?”

12岁的泰勒(Taylor Smith)在一封写给10年后的自己的信中这样问道,信封还被她严严地封上。遗憾的是,泰勒还没有等到再看这封信就已经离开了人世。

美国田纳西州的泰勒日前成了社交媒体脸书上热门搜索的对象。她的故事最初于2014年流传到互联网上。在2013年4月份写下了给22岁自己的信之后,泰勒于2014年1月因肺炎去世。

整理孩子的遗物时,泰勒的父母蒂姆和玛丽无意间发现了这封信,信封上说明这封信是泰勒写给未来的自己,只有在2023年才可以打开。

蒂姆和玛丽很吃惊,于信中再次听到女儿的声音也稍微缓解了他们的哀痛心情。那之后,他们把这封信分享给了教会,慢慢地就被越来越多的人知道。

泰勒写给未来自己的信中,在提醒自己别忘记几位好友的生日之后,话题一转,问到22岁时自己的信仰状态:

“你跟神的关系怎么样啊?你有没有经常祷告,敬拜,读经,或者服侍神呢?如果没有,现在就起来去做吧!不要在意现在处于怎样的环境,就只管去做吧!耶稣为你受刑罚,受鞭打,受苦难,为你钉在十字架上!他是没有罪的人,他从来没有对你或其他人做什么错事。”

接下来,泰勒还提醒10年后的自己要去参加宣教之旅,要看医生,她希望自己大学读律师,还告诉自己不要花太多时间在iPad上。

这封信的最后,泰勒提醒未来的自己:“请记住,从我写下这些已有10年了。各种各样的事情不断地发生,好的坏的都有。这就是生活,而你需要去经历这些。”

以下是泰勒写下的英文原文信:

Dear Taylor,

How’s life? Life is pretty simple right now (10 years in your past). I know I’m late for you, but as I’m writing, this is early, so; congratulations on graduating high school! If you didn’t go back and keep trying. Get that degree! Are you (we) in college? If not, I understand. We do have pretty good reasoning, after all.

Don’t forget, it’s Allana’s 11th birthday today! Sheesh, 11 already? In my time, she just turned 1! I didn’t get to go to that party though, because I was in Cranks, Kentucky for my first mission trip. I’ve only been back for 6 days!

Speaking of, how’s your relationship with GOD? Have you prayed, worshipped, read the bible, or gone to serve the lord recently? If not, get up and do so NOW! I don’t care what point in our life we’re in right now, do it! He was mocked, beaten, tortured, and crucified for you! A sinless man, who never did you or any other person any wrong!

Now, have you gone on any more mission trips? Have you been out of the country yet? How about on a plane?

Is Doctor Who still on the air? If not, what regeneration did they end it with? You should go watch some Doctor Who! Later though, you gotta finish reading your own words of wisdom!

Do you have your own place yet? If we’re in college, what are we majoring in? Right now, I wanna be a lawyer.

Have you been to Dollywood recently? Right now, their newest attraction is the Wild Eagle. It’s so fun!

Also I think I’m going to sell my iPad and buy an iPad mini, Don’t forget to tell your kids that we’re older than the tablet! Attached I also have a drawing of an iPad, so you can show them.

Well, I think that’s all. But remember, it’s been 10 years since I wrote this. Stuff has happened, good and bad. That’s just how life works, and you have to go with it.

Sincerely, Taylor Smith
