I was soooooo excited for Father's Day this year! My daughter and her husband just had a baby, so this was a first Father's Day for my son-in law! And it was also a special day for my husband, the new Pop Pop! Dinner plans and gifts and cards were all in place. Until.....
A woman at church on Sunday morning asked me if I was going to see my Dad for Father's Day. My world stopped spinning for a minute. MY dad? I was so excited for my husband and son-in-law, I didn't have a place in my mind for not seeing my dad for Father's Day!!! You see, my dad passed away 2 years ago. After a quick moment of awkward silence, my well wisher offered sweet condolences for my loss. In my heart I then took a precious stolen moment of savoring sweet memories of my dad and honoring his fun and wacky ways!
Jay asked me a question today about a Trey memory. It was breathtaking at first to receive a text with Trey's name in it....but then it was a sweet walk down Memory Lane! Don't be afraid to mention the name of a loved ones who has passed away. Ask a question. Share a memory. You are blessing those who grieve with the love of Jesus.
"Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2
