Remembering loved ones

[Janet Harrington]

Everyday that we do not have our loved ones on this earth can be a day of sadness.  Christmas time without those loved ones is especially hard for those who have to stay behind.  Just remember that your loved ones are with you whether you know it or not.  Just because their body is not here does not mean their soul is gone.  They are here to watch over us and be with us every single day.  Pray for the loved ones who have gone before us as prayer brings us that much closer to them.  Christmas is a time to remember our Lord Jesus Christ, to celebrate His birth, and remember why He came to us on this earth.  Christmas is also a time to celebrate and remember our loved ones who are not here, so remember to pray everyday to bring that loved one close to you.
