Had my last image n etiquette lesson today.. then had finance mtg.. then rushed down for the funeral..

Auntie Belinda came back.. Uncle Keng Ho n Auntie Cecilia were there.. Uncle Tor Swee n Auntie Loo Hoon were there too..

Pastor Kortering came back frm Michigan to hold the memorial service.. I almost cried when he 1st prayed..

There're 3 reasons how a person can become a saint.. it's nt cos of ppl appointment.. bt God chosen.. it's cos of the blood of Jesus' blood.. and oso cos of the repentance of the sinner.. Ptr Cheah gt it all.. He lived it in his life.. aft his conversion, he's been living a life that's pleasing in God's sight..

The verse quoted was Psalms 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints."

Ptr Cheah's death is precious to God, to himself and to us who still remain alive on this earth..

Aft the sermon, Bak Wei gt us to go up to sing.. KS.. to sing "It is Well with my soul".. I was so afraid tt I was going to cry when I sang.. I had to hold it back..
When we were singing.. I could see frm the corner of my eye tt ppl were crying..

Ptr Cheah's bookmark poem..

We had prayed earnestly for our dear Pastor who we hoped would recover,
And sought for Grace from our Great Lord and Heavenly Master,
Being assured that the Lord would have surely heard our prayers,
As daily He had caused us to rejoice in all that He sayest,

Pastor left us in a hurry to rest in his Father's home in Glory,
Leaving behind a legacy of God's goodness to be kept in our memory.
Children, seek the Lord, we know the Pastor would say,
Trust only in the Lord, for all else is but nay,

A reminder from the Pulpit he constantly bought,
Reminding us always in prayers that we thought.
He stressed that Salvation comes from Jehovah alone,
That we are saved when to us God's Grace is shown,
Mighty works of Christ, he declared for us to see,
To Him must all the Power and Dominion and Glory be,

Day by day we humble before our Lord Almighty,
Seeking His knowledge and understanding to be our priority,
In search of His ways which may seem too far above ours,
We must put our trust in Him alone, Who alone has all the powers.

We'll miss u...
