Today we memorialize my Dad. He died on December 5th at 2pm. He was so young but chose to live a hard life that lead to his death. Alcoholism took him farther than he wanted to go and made him pay more than he ever wanted to pay. He couldn't see past his brokenness so he clung to the bottle for life and it stole it from him. Now we, his three children are left to grieve a life lived in want and let go of hope that someday we will have a better relationship with him.

Emanuel God with us, Jesus our Lord and savior we choose to worship you this day. This day December 23rd the day we memorialize our Dads death. Jesus, Emanuel come be with us. Fill us with strength and grace may this day be a day of worship set aside to honor you. Dad chose not to live for you but we, his legacy left here on earth, we choose to lift you up and honor you with our lives. Be lifted up in our words and actions fill our hearts with thanksgiving and mouths with your praise. May our mourning and grieving even be a sweet sound to your ears.
