It is valuable when you follow knowing who the Lord is, believing, and loving. 운영자| 5/8/2015 |Views 17,029


    When I was young, at a certain time every year, some men carrying a net bag dug out something from the front hill of Wolmyeongdong and went down taking it with them.
    I did not know [what it was] because I was young.
    When I found out later on, song-i(matsutake)  mushroom, which is very expensive, had been produced [there] as much as to fill up a big net bag; so those who knew it rejoiced and dug and took them.

    From the following year, knowing that fact, my father dug and brought home the song-i mushroom before people coming from other regions, so we could eat it every year.
    As for me, even while eating that expensive song-i mushroom, I wondered, ‘Why do we eat this? It has no taste.’
    If you eat it without knowing, even that expensive food has no taste.


    Later on, when I was developing Wolmyeongdong, a person from Seoul gave me a gift, saying that he brought something valuable, for his son was hired to a high-level official position. It was song-i mushroom.
    He said he paid thirty dollars per mushroom at that time.
    When I ate it then, it was so delicious.
    It was delicious because I was eating knowing all about it.

    You must follow, knowing who the Savior is and believing and loving them; then you will follow valuably, while being elated and rejoicing.

    내가 어렸을 때, 해마다 때가 되면

    월명동 앞산에서 남자들이 망태를 메고 뭘 캐서 가지고 갔다.

    나는 어려서 몰랐다. 후에 알고 보니,

    그 비싼 송이버섯이 해마다 한 망태씩 나오니,

    아는 자들은 기뻐하며 캐 간 것이었다.


    다음 해부터는 나의 아버지가 이를 알고,

    타지에서 오는 사람들보다 먼저 송이버섯을 캐 와서 늘 먹었다.
    나는 그 비싼 송이버섯을 먹으면서

    ‘맛도 없는데 이것을 왜 먹지?’했다.

    모르고 먹으면, 그 비싼 것도 맛이 없다.


    그 후 월명동을 개발할 때 서울에서 한 사람이 자기 아들이

    고위 관직에 합격됐다고 하면서

    귀한 것을 사 왔다고 하며 선물로 줬다. 송이버섯이었다.

    그때 당시 한 개에 3만 원씩 주고 사 왔다고 했다.

    그때 먹으니, 그렇게도 맛이 있었다.

    다 알고 먹으니 맛있는 것이었다.


    구원자도 누구인지 알고 사랑하고

    믿고 따라야 가치 있고, 기쁘고, 즐거워하며 따른다.
