This Christmas night is the 7th year since I lost my dad. I know he & my mom (gone for many years) greeted your friend with singing in heaven. We have hope in Christ, but still so much pain with the loss of those so dear to us.Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725341449030070385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-81378361752237587222016-11-29T16:55:08.793-05:002016-11-29T16:55:08.793-05:00I'm so sorry for your losses, Anne.

I am so very sorry for the loss of such a caring man, not only for those who were part of his life, but also for those whose lives will now not be touched by him. Thank you for sharing and reminding us to be grateful for those we love and their continued presence - something we so very often take for granted. My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family.

In truth even Jesus wept. Yet there remains the hope which brings an inner peace that we shall see our loved ones again. I have lost a father, mum-in-law and my best friend this year. I shall see only one in Heaven. God gives each of us a choice and only my friend chose Him. Your card is so right for this situation. Hope, it is the best of all things!

Hope is the thing we cling to when we have nothing else. We know that God is with us every step of the way. He said He'd never leave us. I pray that you feel God's nearness to you and are able to support your friend's family at this very difficult time and season. Rejoice that you will see him again.
