On the last day of November two years ago, my Dad died. So, this is already our third Christmas without him. Seems like yesterday. Seems like a lifetime ago.
When I saw this picture and short story on social media, I thought of Dad. And so many others waiting at Home for us to arrive.
God bless all of you missing loved ones. May you find peace and hope in this season.
"I recently read about a man who collects pictures of hitters who had hit walk-off home runs. He said that the reason he did this is because this is how he views us entering heaven.
Look at the faces of his teammates waiting to welcome him home. Look at their excitement. They can't wait to celebrate with him.
Look at the fans. Arms raised, big smiles, maybe even hugs for a perfect stranger.
Perhaps this is your first holiday season without someone important who is now waiting for you in heaven. Maybe it's just another one with that big hole in your heart and an empty seat at the table. Either way, I hope you can find some encouragement in this picture, what it represents to the man who collected it, and find joy this year."
