어머니 주일을 한주 앞두고, 양로원에 계신 김할머니를 방문하게 되었다. 여기 저기 휠체어에 앉아 정신이 혼미한 가운데 무료한 시간을 달래고 계신 노인들 속에서, “어머니 날을 축하합니다!” 하는 밝은 음성과 함께, 휠체어에 앉은 할머니 한분이 천진한 미소를 담뿍 담고 손을 흔들며 인사를 … Continue reading →

Posted on May 6, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon

Live on 9/3/1998 at KCBN 안녕하세요? 우리는 일상의 생활을 통하여 삶의 그림을 그립니다. 어느 누구도 나는 이렇게 저렇게 살아야겠다는 계획이나, 특별한 요구를 하고 이 땅에 태어나질 않습니다. 누구나 다 공평하게 주어진 부모의 사랑 안에서 성장하고 살아가면서 나름대로의 어느 정착지에 도달케 … Continue reading →

부모의 역할

Posted on May 5, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon

안녕하세요? 저는 가끔 주위 분들로부터 듣는 인사가 있는데 그것은 “목사의 아내 노릇하기가 얼마나 어려우십니까?”라는 것입니다. 저에게 그렇게 말씀하시는 분들 중에는, 때로는 얼굴 표정까지 찌푸리며 저에게 최대한의 동정을 보내지요. 그런데, 저는 그 인사가 별로 의미가 없을 때가 있답니다. 아, 물론 목사의 … Continue reading →
