照片裡的水瓶，是鴿子平時自己喝水的水瓶。大兒子說，鴿子跟他要了水瓶後，搖一搖，默默地放在我的身旁。
不久後，他拿著平板走來走去，突然在路過我時，將我的口罩往上拉蓋住眼睛。不是因為調皮，是為了幫我遮住燈光。
自閉症的限制，讓鴿子無法和一般人一樣，可以透過互動、詢問的方式表達關懷，但在愛中長大的鴿子，還是在生活中習得了家人照顧彼此、關懷彼此的行為模式——即使，他什麼也沒有說。
我不禁想起這段聖經經文：
又有聲音從天上來，說：「你是我的愛子，我喜悅你。」( 馬可福音 1:11)
感謝神，讓我因為愛子小鴿子，懂得了祂的心情。

The Advanced Lesson of Love — Through Jabez（ChatGPT翻譯）
The water bottle in the photo belongs to Jabez—it’s the one he usually drinks from. My eldest son told me that Jabez had asked him for it, shook it gently, and then quietly placed it beside me.
A little later, Jabez was walking around with his tablet. As he passed by, he reached over and pulled my mask up to cover my eyes—not to be playful, but to shield me from the light.
These two small gestures came from Jabez because I wasn’t feeling well and was resting in the massage chair.
Because of the challenges of autism, Jabez cannot express love and care in the usual ways—through conversation or questions. Yet, growing up in an environment of love, he has learned how to show care and tenderness toward his family in his own quiet, thoughtful way—even without words.
At that moment, a verse came to mind:
“And a voice came from heaven: ‘You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.’”
— Mark 1:11
Thank You, Lord, for allowing me to understand a glimpse of Your heart through my beloved son, Jabez.
