Merry Christmas - Please Remember
Today is special for our family. It always has been. Today we celebrate with family. And I hope we never lose this special part.
We are off to Whitby Ontario shortly... after this post is done. Gotta get going – there are four grandsons waiting for us to open their Christmas gifts. And they are excited o say the least.
But today I am feeling the weight of family loss.
Last night we delivered some Christmas Gifts to some families on our street. One door we knocked on was hard for me.
The dad answered the door and I passed him the special gift we had for them… and wished him our blessings for this season. He thanked me deeply.
As I walked from the home I couldn’t help think deeply… and sadly… but with much appreciation for this family.
This past year their son died in Afghanistan because of a Bomb at the side of the road. The home is still displaying the Canadian Flag and also one for the “Support Our Troops” message. The family is special in our hearts.
Yesterday they announced that another Canadian from BC died in another blast beside a road. This Christmas morning it will terrible for that family wherever they are.
I do wish you a Merry Christmas but as I do… I ask you to pray for our Troops today – so far away. And most of all pray for their families that wait one long day after another… these are our secondary heroes! And I thank God for all of them!
