“생일선물”

해마다 생일이 가까워지면, 내 속에 잠자고 있던 거친 아이들이 여기저기서 깨어난다. 생일을 핑계로 평소에 해보고 싶던 일들을 하게 되는데, 언젠가는 번지점프라는 것을 계획했다가 5:1이라는 가족들의 결사반대로 그 뜻을 결국 이룰 수 없던 일도 있었다. 그러나 지난 해 생일이 다가올 때에는 … Continue reading

“용서”

올해 21세되는 막내아들이 지난해 여름, 독립을 선언하고 집을 나갔었다. 그동안 집에 머물면서 대학생활 하는 것이 몹시 답답했던지 집을 떠나길 원했으나, 우리 부부의 반대로 번번이 이루어지지 않고 있었다. 그러다가 어느 날 전공과 관련된 회사에서 학비와 생활비를 주겠으니 함께 일하자는 제의가 오자, … Continue reading

“GPS” (목사관 신앙칼럼 #15, LA 크리스찬 투데이, 9/10/2008) © 윤 완희 사모

개인 적인 일로 여행을 자주 다닐 수밖에 없는 나에게 자동차 안의 GPS(Global Positioning System) 얼마나 귀한 존재인지 모른다. 운전대에 앉아 목적지의 주소를 넣으면, 순식간에 도착지를 향해 지도와 시 간표까지 다 마련해 놓고, 이리가라 저리가라고 눈과 귀를 통해 다 일러준다. 처음 … Continue reading
