🍂 Daily Devotional: “Grateful for the Love That Remains”

Scripture:

“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.”— Philippians 1:3 (KJV)

As Thanksgiving draws near, the world seems to focus on gathering, gratitude, and togetherness. But for the grieving heart, this season can stir emotions that run deep—longing, tenderness, and the ache of missing someone who once sat at your table, laughed in your kitchen, or prayed the holiday prayer.

Yet even here, in the mix of gratitude and grief, God offers something beautiful:the gift of treasured memories.

Memories are not meant to wound us—they are reminders of love that was real, moments that mattered, and relationships that shaped who we are. They are gifts that time cannot steal.

This Thanksgiving, your heart may feel both full and fragile. That’s okay.Grief and gratitude can sit at the same table.Love and longing can share the same space.Tears and thankfulness can flow from the same heart.

Hope whispers that even though your loved one is no longer physically beside you, the love you shared still remains—strong, present, and eternal. God gently weaves those cherished memories into strength for today and comfort for tomorrow.

As you move through this season, let your gratitude rest not only in what you had, but in what you still carry:the love that lives on,the memories that warm your soul,and the hope that promises reunion in God’s perfect time.

Your loved one’s place at the table may be empty, but the place they hold in your heart remains forever full.

💛 Prayer:

Father,As Thanksgiving approaches, thank You for the gift of treasured memories and the love that continues to live in my heart. Help me to find peace in the moments that feel heavy and joy in the memories that bring warmth. Remind me that my loved one is safe with You, and that hope is still alive within me.In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
