Saying Grace

When I was a kid, my Mom was a devout Catholic.
She shifted from the Catholic to the Protestant faith in 2012.
The other day, my Mom stopped saying grace.
We usually say grace before a meal.
"Mom, you didn't say grace this morning, and you didn't go to church."
"It's hard to explain; faith means believing in something you can't know for sure is real, and right now I'm struggling with that."
"So you don't believe in God anymore? there're about 8 billion people on this planet, and you're the perfect Mom for me."
Please don't stop saying grace.
Every day some people are born, also some people die.
Our time on Earth is brief.
I thank God for giving us our daily bread.

当我还是个孩子的时候，妈妈笃信天主教。
在 2012 年她从天主教改信了新教。
有一天，我妈妈停止餐前祷告。
用餐前我们通常会做祷告。
“妈妈，您今天早上沒说感恩祷告，也不去教会”
“这很难解释，信仰意味着有些东西你无法确切知晓其真实性，而现在我正纠结于此”
“所以你不再相信上帝了吗？这星球上大约有 80 亿人，你是我完美的妈妈”
请不要停止餐前祷告。
每一天都有新生命诞生，同时也有人离世。
我们在地上的时间很短暂。
感谢上帝赐予我们每日的饮食。
