An Unforgettable, Sleepless, Yet Peaceful Christmas Eve

(Minghui.org) My son, who works in another city, called me on the afternoon of December 24, 2023. He asked if I had put up truth-clarification flyers in our building. He said that a family’s security camera had captured it, and they had posted the footage in the community WeChat group. Some people were making unpleasant comments and even talking about reporting me to the police.

I told him, “It’s okay. Your mother didn’t do anything wrong. I did it for their own good.” My son didn’t say much and hung up.

He called again soon after and said, “Mom, did you put them on every door? Someone else just posted about it in the group. I thought you only did a few. How could you post them on every single door?!”

I didn’t say anything. I immediately sent forth righteous thoughts. However, I couldn’t focus, as all kinds of distracting thoughts kept interfering. I knew that only by staying in accordance with the principles of the Fa could I overcome this. I thought, “No matter what attachments I still have, I will correct myself through Dafa. I put up those flyers to save people, and no one should interfere and persecute me because of this.”

I kept sending forth righteous thoughts. About two hours later, my husband came home earlier than usual. The first thing he said was, “I bought you something tasty.” I thought he must not know about this yet, so I decided not to tell him as I didn’t want him to worry about me.

After making dinner, I sat down again to send forth righteous thoughts. I decided to go stay at my mother’s place (she’s also a practitioner) for a few days, so I told my husband about putting out the truth-clarification materials. That’s when I found out he had actually come home early because of this.

My husband agreed that I could go to my mother’s home. He repeatedly urged me, “You must be rational in what you do.” He then said, “Our son told me not to say anything to you. But they caught you on camera and posted it in the WeChat group. It is very dangerous. Please, always be rational!” I said, “Alright, I understand.”

I continued to send righteous thoughts. During this time, I felt negative forces pressing down from other dimensions, and I kept rejecting them with righteous thoughts. After sending forth righteous thoughts at midnight, I went to bed.

I was soon woken by the sound of doors opening and closing in the hallway. I kept hearing it over and over, until around two in the morning. During this time, I constantly felt fearful, so I kept reciting Master’s teachings to stay calm.

Soon it was time for the morning exercises. Just as I was about to start, a thought flashed into my mind: “Leave quickly, or there won’t be another chance. Go out, take a cab, and call your husband once you’re somewhere safe.” But right away I thought, “Why should I run? I’m righteous. It’s the evil that should run. Even if I decide to go out, I’ll walk out with dignity.”

I calmly finished my exercises, had breakfast with my husband, and then left the house. As I reached the elevator, another thought popped up: “What if there’s a checkpoint at the community gate?” I immediately thought, “Eliminate the evil elements!” I walked out the community gate. The sun was shining brightly, and nothing happened.

Not long after I got to my mother’s house, my son called. He reminded me that the New Year was coming and told me to go get my hair done. At first, I didn’t think much of it and said it wasn’t necessary. But after I hung up, I realized that this was Master using him to remind me to change my hairstyle. I felt truly grateful. Master is always watching over and protecting me.

I went and got my hair done. I stayed at my mother’s place for about a week before returning home.

It’s now been a year since all this happened. I’ve always wanted to write it down to express my gratitude for Master’s compassionate protection.
