The Christmas season can bring joy and excitement for many, but for others it can bring on sadness. For those who have recently lost a loved one or have lost someone around this time. If you know someone who may be having a season of sadness, take the time to spread a little cheer their way. Maybe help them recall some great memories of the lost loved one. Remind them that although their loved one is no longer here with them physically, that their memories live on in their hearts and mind. Let them know that their particular loved one wouldn't want them to mope around and feel sad; but to LIVE and honor them with gladness in their heart. I love and miss my grandmother the most at Christmas time, being that this holiday represents love, hope, joy, and family. Plus her birthday is in December. I love the way her face would light up with appreciation and happiness when I gave her gifts. I always felt so much love and comfort from my grandmother. She was my best friend and a great support. My grandmother taught me how to smile and honor God at all times, no matter what you may be going through. She taught me that no matter how badly others treated you, without cause, still love them and treat them well because that is what pleases the Lord. My grandmother taught me to always be a lady and a loving mother and a respectable wife. Most of all she taught me to keep God first in all things and everything would be alright. Thanks nanna! I celebrate you and remember you with gladness this holiday season! I know heaven is a beautiful place but being that you arrived I'm sure you make it look even better! I miss you, I love you! See you when I get there!
