Well, today marks the anniversary day of when my dad had his heartattack that would eventually claim his life on December 31st. I have mixed feelings about this day. I know that Satan would want me to dwell on the fact that it would be all about just Surviving Christmas this year, but the Heavenly Father would choose to show us as a family that He continues to BALANCE all things in tragedy. This year has been full of many emotions. There has been lots of crying, remembering, and just plain getting mad about it.
Through all the grief though, God has been faithful. He continues to let me know everyday that he is still on the throne and that He desires to see my family through it all. I don’t feel that anything our Lord does is a mistake or at the very least is not well thought out. It is no accident that this is the time of year that He took dad home to be with Him. So during this Christmas I will CHOOSE to know that He is God. That he sent his Son into this world just to DIE…have you ever thought of that. He sent his Son into the world just to DIE. So it is for us, He thought enough of you and I that He chose to place us in this world for His glory and “just to die”, so that he could spend eternity with us. This Christmas is about celebrating the fact that this had come full circle for my dad. It too will one day become reality for us all…a day we should only long to experience! Merry Christmas!!!
