The Empty Chair Thanksgiving Prayer. If you have a loved one in Heaven, set a chair for them at the table this year and thank the Lord for the love and time you had with that person.
Like so many of you, we will have a couple of empty chairs at our table this year. Having loved ones in Heaven is hard at the holidays. I try to count my Blessings for the 36 years that Jim and I had. He was such an amazing husband and took such good care of his family. He always made sure I knew he loved me. Losing a Child is a different kind of loss than any other. There is a hole in your heart that never seems to heal. Chuck has been in heaven a year and a half and is so missed by his brother and sister too. As we gather with family and friends this year, we will say a special thanks and prayer for these special loved one and I hope you do too. HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful prayer Marty, wishing you a blessed and peaceful week and Thanksgiving- Hugs Tanya
Thank you Marty, this is the second Thanksgiving without my husband Tom of 50 years married … 1972. He is so missed.😥
Lovely prayer and sentiment, Marty. We lost my dad and brother over 20 years ago, but we always miss them so much during the holidays. You and your family are in my prayers. Debra
Beautiful, thank you. Remembering a wonderful man who died today, Nov 23 in 1989 — ON Thanksgiving Day that year.

This is beautiful, Marty. Thank you for sharing it. My mother passed 21 years ago and her birthday fell on today, Thanksgiving Day this year. We miss her very much. Thank you again for the comforting poem.
