Dr. Miner的妻子Jane發來電子郵件告訴我們Dr. Miner回到了天家,享年92歲。先生和我心裏都非常難過,但也被Jane充滿信心和盼望的信感動。是啊,有一天我們必重逢。
Dr. Miner是一位退休的婦產科醫師,畢業於芝加哥西北大學醫學院。他將自己的青春年華獻給了需要幫助的人,曾經在India醫療長宣10年。回到美國私人開診所期間,他又多次到Ethiopia, Indonesia, Haiti and Ecuador醫療短宣 。我們最後一次見到老人家是4年前在Chapel Hill, North Carolina,與他和他的夫人Jane以及其他家人度過了一段美好的時光。
在此,謹用我非常喜愛的聖樂歌唱家之一Steve Green的《Find Us Faithful》感謝和紀念走在我們前麵、給我們留下榜樣的Dr. Miner;也用此聖樂作為自己的鼓勵和儆醒。安息吧,好朋友,老弟兄:那美好的仗你已經打過了;當跑的路你已經跑盡了;所信的道你已經守住了;那公義的冠冕必為你存留。
音樂《 Find Us Faithful 》( Steve Green )
We're pilgrims on the journey Of the narrow road And those who've gone before us line the way Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace
Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses Let us run the race not only for the prize But as those who've gone before us Let us leave to those behind us The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives
CHORUS: Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful May the fire of our devotion light their way May the footprints that we leave Lead them to believe And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone And our children sift through all we've left behind May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find
CHORUS: Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful May the fire of our devotion light their way May the footprints that we leave Lead them to believe And the lives we live inspire them to obey
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
