生命慶典追思禮拜- Jim McGee 弟兄

經過了一段時間的身體病痛, 我們親愛的Jim McGee 弟兄於上週四 6月30 日 (1936- 2011) 蒙主恩召, 接回天家。追思禮拜在7月5日順利舉行, 感謝主!


Jim McGee弟兄一生服事主, 與他的妻子Myrna 姐妹被主呼召, 特別服事國際學生, 更是付出精力與愛心; 因此, Jim 的追思禮拜也相當國際化, 採用中英文兩種語言。追思禮拜上的特別音樂 " 耶穌愛我 (Jesus Loves Me)" 是Jim 過世前兩個小時在電腦螢幕上留下的一首歌。縱使我們很想念 Jim 弟兄, 但是我們知道他現在與主耶穌同在, 那是個沒有眼淚, 沒有哀傷, 沒有病痛, 也再也沒有死亡的地方 (啟示錄 21: 4-5)。Myrna 姐妹在眼淚中依然喜樂, 依然感謝讚美主, 給我們做了一個很好的榜樣。她說她知道Jim 現在在主耶穌那邊, 他一定不想再回到這世上了! 願神那永遠不變的恩惠慈愛安慰她。

追思儀式, 充滿盼望和平安, 暫時送走Jim McGee 弟兄, 也給了我們在世的人鼓勵與安慰, 激勵我們更加親近神的心, 來緊緊抓住祂的應許。再過不久, 我們都要在我們天父的家中再一次相聚; 到那時候, 就不再有分離。God is so good! 
Farewell party for Rong's family at 2009. Jim was sharing. We miss you!
Jesus loves me, this I know, Though my hair is white as snow.
Though my sight is growing dim, Still He bids me trust in him.

(Chorus) Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

Though my steps are oh, so slow, With my hand in his I'll go.
On through life, let come what may, He'll be there to lead the way. 
(Chorus)
When the nights are dark and long, In my heart He puts a song.
Telling me in words so clear, "Have no fear, for I am near."
(Chorus)
When my work on earth is done, And life's victories have been won.
He will take me home above,  Then I'll understand his love.
(Chorus)
I love Jesus, does he know? Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say, That I love him every day.
(Chorus)
