Tomorrow is June 16, a big day of celebration for our family.
My baby boy’s cheerful “Happy birthday, Pappy!” runs through my head and makes me smile and make me cry.
My little boy loves sharing a birthday with his Pappy.
Pappy said I’d never top that birthday present.
And now the day has come to celebrate that little boy, and his Pappy isn’t here with us.
But oh how Pappy is in a place of celebration!
We cannot fathom the joy, the peace, the happiness.
We cannot fathom the joy, the peace, the happiness.
So while we are sad, and that’s okay, we can turn our hearts to Heaven and praise God for eternity.
We can keep celebrating birthdays on earth and thank God for every day we have here and also remember that this earth is not our home and we are looking for the one to come, our forever home purchased with the blood of Christ.
“For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the one to come.”
Hebrews 13:14
