As I've been preparing myself for the coming family get-togethers that will now be missing 2 more beloved family members, I've told myself that it just won't be Christmas without them. However, really, it's just the opposite, and for a very good reason. The fact that Jesus came here to pay our debt doesn't change when your son or mother dies, in fact it should really give us more hope, since we have been given grace to be able to see them again. Now, certainly it will be sadder to get together with family without Nate and Mom, but Jesus' promise hasn't changed, and remembering that might make the whole season just a little bit easier to get through.
I'll still cry for my son, and for not being able to see his eyes light up, but I'll see those eyes again some day.
