Dr. Miner的妻子Jane发来电子邮件告诉我们Dr. Miner回到了天家,享年92岁。先生和我心里都非常难过,但也被Jane充满信心和盼望的信感动。是啊,有一天我们必重逢。
Dr. Miner是一位退休的妇产科医师,毕业于芝加哥西北大学医学院。他将自己的青春年华献给了需要帮助的人,曾经在India医疗长宣10年。回到美国私人开诊所期间,他又多次到Ethiopia, Indonesia, Haiti and Ecuador医疗短宣 。我们最后一次见到老人家是4年前在Chapel Hill, North Carolina,与他和他的夫人Jane以及其他家人度过了一段美好的时光。
在此,谨用我非常喜爱的圣乐歌唱家之一Steve Green的《Find Us Faithful》感谢和纪念走在我们前面、给我们留下榜样的Dr. Miner;也用此圣乐作为自己的鼓励和儆醒。安息吧,好朋友,老弟兄:那美好的仗你已经打过了;当跑的路你已经跑尽了;所信的道你已经守住了;那公义的冠冕必为你存留。
音乐《 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
