The Patriarch of the McGee Family, My Dad!



 


Frank Mc Gee
       








Today my Dad will be laid to rest along the side of my Mother, in the Suburb of Chicago. As I thought about my Dad on the 5th. of Dec. though he was dead, he was spending his last night in Tennessee. Born and raised in Moscow Tennessee, Fayette County, in  Aug of 1933. 

What a heritage & legacy that I have through my Dad. One that I am proud of, one that I'll cherish and respect. My Dad was a very intelligent man, though he only had a 3rd. grade education. I was many times amazed at his knowledge, the things that he knew and the things that he could do.

I'm thankful for all of the good times we shared together, all of the conversations, the laughs and the list could go on and on. There were lots of things he taught me, I find myself even to this day asking the question, what would my Dad do?  Sometimes, when I'm out in my shop working on a project, I'll come across a tool that my Dad gave me years ago and ponder the time when he gave it to me, I guess that will be the case even more, in the days and years ahead.

One other thing, I'll share here in my tribute to my Dad, I taught him how to drive a "BIG RIG", yes a Tractor Trailer, boy did we have fun! We even bought some trucks and went into the Trucking Business up there in Chicago.

Memories? Oh yes! I have a bunch, and they will linger in my heart for many years to come and they will be cherished by me and my family.

Speaking of family, my precious Son, Josh and I were talking just the other day and he said Daddy, you know Grandpa has been the Patriarch of our family all these years and now he has past the mantle on to you in his death, what a sobering thought as that thought struck me, me! a Patriarch?

Yes! a Patriarch!! That's what my Dad was to our family and for that to be past on to me, from him, what a honor! These will be big shoes to fill, but I'll do my very best!

My prayer is that my Dad will rest in peace, until the time, God would allow us to meet again. 

I love you and I'll really miss you Dad!!

The Truth about  having a BAD DAY!
( Something to think about! )

We've all heard folks complain about having a " bad day!"
But think about this, if we would really be honest,
whenever these times come,
they usually only last a few minutes.
But let me let you in a little TRUTH!
Some folks, "Milk it the rest of the day! ".
 
Every day is a gift from God, it's up to us what we do with it, we can dwell on the things that are uncomfortable or we can ask God to give us the strength to carry on and help us to help someone else not to have a bad day.
 
The Scripture says this! 
Psalm 118:24
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

The POWER of a PRAYING MOTHER!
 
Yesterday, I spoke with a very dear friend of ours up in Kentucky.
In fact, several years ago, I use to be their Pastor, these are wonderful folks, very precious and they love God.
 
But for the last 7 months, this mother has sat by her son who is in the hospital and
who is very sick and have given them very little hope, so many things going wrong physically, but we still trust God, in the midst of this turmoil, after all, this is what we believe in, trusting God! 
 
In all honesty, I was at a loss for words. I've never been in a situation such as this, so I couldn't speak from experience, as to say I know how you feel, because I truly don't, I've never been there.
 
The most beautiful thing about the situation is the fact that God knows the end from the beginning and everything in between.
 
My Prayer is that God will continue to uphold this family in this very disturbing time in their lives.
 
We serve a very merciful God and I ask for his mercy in this situation and for strength for this entire family.
 
Please join with me in Prayer for this precious family,
the Storms and the young mans name is Timmy.

The Precious Blood Of Jesus!
 
 
Think about it, there's power in the blood, victory in the blood, and most of all, SALVATION in the blood!  Wow! How wonderful is that? I am so thankful for what I know about the Blood of Jesus.
 
My prayer is that this will be a Beautiful day for you and that you will be blessed by the saving blood of Jesus, check out the words to the song below and you have a FANTASIC Day!
 
We're praying with you in mind!
 
Bro. McGee
 



What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
 Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my cleansing this I see—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
For my pardon this my plea—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
Nothing can my sin erase
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
Naught of works, ’tis all of grace—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my hope and peace—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my righteousness—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

(From an old song)
Everything is Beautiful!
 
Colossians 1:16
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in the earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
 


What a joy to know that God has given us so many things in life to enjoy. He has made a provision for us with so many options. I remember going to the car dealer and the salesman would say, you can get this or this or if you want, we can even add this! Of course, that all comes with a price, but God has given us so many things to enjoy and they are ours for FREE!! Everybody like free.
 
I trust that this will be a day that you walk in an understanding, that God is giving us another opportunity to enjoy his bountiful blessings!
 
Remember!  like the songs says, Everything is beautiful. Have a bless day!!
 
I'm praying with you today!

Thankful for a beautiful day yesterday in the House of God, such powerful services.

1 Timothy 3:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
 
Great Day In The Morning!! ...Is a saying, that I have said for years now.
But the truth is, everyday is a great day morning, noon or night!
When I think about greatness, I think about how great our God is and how he blesses those that will serve him on a daily basis, not just when they are in trouble, or when things aren't going their way.
There are a lot of folks that call themselves Christians, but you can't tell it by their actions. They are Christians when they need more than what they can provide for their present situation, kind of like a "spare tire god"  or perhaps a rabbit's foot, you only use it when you need it.
My Ole Granddaddy use to always say, " if they're a Christian, then the woods are full of them!"
When was the last time you saw someone on the side of the road just changing a tire because they thought it was fun, or because they need the exercise?
No! they were in trouble and needed to keep moving so they had to change the tire, that's how some folks serve God, they only call on him when they are in trouble, or when something is needed, yet they call themselves Christians, SORRY!! Not so.  We must be diligent about seeking after God, daily, all the time, regardless of what might be going on around us.
 

Hebrews 11:6 King James Version (KJV)

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
 
I hope this day is a Wonderful day for you and that you make yourself available to God and then I know he'll make himself available to you.
Blessings to those who serve him!
