그대에게 드리는 시와 편지 (Poems and Letters Dedicated to You)

오귀순

1978년11월에미국으로이주해잠도못잘정도로외롭고추운세월을보내던중한통의안부편지를받았다.그편지에위로를받고편지를쓰기시작했다.초안을작성하고수정하며정성들여손으로직접써,깨끗하고예쁜봉투에담아우표를붙이고,우체통에넣어부친편지는이런저런이유로고통받는이웃과새신자에게따뜻한위로와사랑을전해주었다.이렇게꾸준히편지쓰기를40여년간지속해오고있다.
더바빠지고분주하며,더간편한것을추구하는요즘시대에빠르고손쉬운전자우편이아니라,시간과수고가들지만사랑과기도가담긴손편지로외롭고쓸쓸한사람들을격려하고자한다.

현재조지아주애틀란타실로암한국학교교장과여성문학회교육부장으로섬기며,2013년「수필시대」수필부문신인상을받아등단한후조지아주애틀란타「조선일보」,「중앙일보」,「미주크리스찬타임즈」에글을싣고있다.
30여년간주일학교교사로섬기며어린이동화“멍멍이코코”,“울보징징이”,“지렁이”,“아빠는경찰관”등을써어린이들에게들려주고,인형극각본“사께오”,“사무엘,“다윗”등을작성해공연에도올렸다.이외에도「실로암」,「한빛」,「예수님의아이」,「배움짱실로암한국학교」등다수의신앙지를편집했다.
