Love on your loved ones this week because...

[Jireh]

...you just never know when you may lose someone. We lost my sister-in-law on Thursday and had her funeral yesterday. She was a beautiful, young and vibrant 63 year-old who had a massive heart attack. I still can't wrap my head around it. It doesn't seem real. So we have postponed our Christmas until at least late January or February. We always have the family Christmas at our house, and my wife says we will keep the decorations up until the family is ready to celebrate, even if it's in June!

Don't take for granted your family members during this Christmas season. Visit and call people often. I always find it interesting that we will sacrifice our time and energy to visit the funeral home when a friend or loved one dies. Why don't we sacrifice that same time and energy while our friend or loved one is still alive? Don't create regrets!

So sorry Jireh for your loss. We lost our father 2 years ago in December, and my sister a year ago August. You are right on visitation as well. Again, condolences.

I posted in another thread that we're having our Christmas on January 25th. There has been a growing movement to do just that for a number of reasons. Sorry to hear about your sister-in-law.
