Hello ,
On this day every year, there is someone who is always on my mind. Today is my father's birthday, and although he is no longer here (he passed away in 2009), I remember his special on January 2nd .
My father would be 93 if he were still alive, and he was one of the most generous, hard-working men that I have ever known.
I miss him, and there are still days when some little thing will trigger a rush of emotions. One day in 2015, I saw my father's jack-knife (that my son inherited from him), and I broke down. It was such a little thing, and yet it brought such a grief-storm into my heart about how much I loved him, and how deeply I miss being with him or talking on the phone.
Do you have someone that you miss terribly? Are there days when it seems almost more than you can bear to no longer have them in your life? It might be a parent, a friend, or perhaps even a child that you lost...but the pain is real and raw. Our Heavenly Father understands!
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4
I don't understand it all, but I do believe the promise that there is coming a day when Jesus will wipe away all of our tears. The old will pass away, and
He will make all things new. Today I am thankful for the man in the picture above. Who are you thankful for that you have lost?
Have a great day and God bless!
