Another Thanksgiving Day approaches without my beloved father. He went on to be with Jesus 16 years ago, on this very day.
My dad and I were close. He always called me his "favorite kid" to everyone he introduced me to. And though it was a bit embarrassing, I sure wish I could hear it from him again.
Maybe I will when I meet up with him when my turn comes to pass this life. At least I will be there with him. And that is enough for me.
But like many that have lost someone this past year or even before, it's another day that his place is empty this year. And that is hard.
And so how do we get through the upcoming holidays with the heavy hearts that carry those loved ones we miss so much?
We can go to websites that speak to that question and get ideas on how to honor those who have left us.
The following one has 64 of them that perhaps you will want to check out if you are beginning to feel the sadness of the loss of someone you love.

Above all else though, remember that God is with you in your darkest hour when you may be alone. He is there to be your comfort.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18
Thanks for coming. God bless you!
Thank you God for giving me my wonderful father!
