January 6th in some countries is Epiphany Day to remember when the three wise men visited the baby Jesus and gave him gifts. For my followers celebrating this day, I would like to wish them a joyous holiday.
However, January 6th has a different meaning for me. January 6th is my father’s birthday. He is in heaven now having passed away almost 11 years ago.
The reason I say my father is in heaven is because of the forgiveness found in Jesus because of his love, grace, and death for us on the cross. My father had many struggles in his life with alcohol and other issues, but he came to trust in Jesus a little over a year before he died.
I shared about my father previously in a post- Forgiveness from me led to my father receiving forgiveness from God
So I know I will see him again in heaven and can say Happy Birthday in heaven to him. 🙂
Beautiful sir! So glad your father knew the Lord! God bless!
Thank you 🙂
Happy Birthday to your Father and what a glorious day, when we are reunited with our loved ones in Heaven.
Amen to the reunions 🙂
That’s sweet.
Such a joy he got to know the Lord. He rests on in glory.
Amen 🤗
The best comfort we get from death is the knowledge that we will see our beloved again because of salvation. Praise the Lord
Amen 🙂
Happy birthday in heaven to your Dad! 🎂
Thank you 🙂
What a relief to know that your dad received Christ and that you will one day see him again! Both of my parent’s came to Jesus later in life. I don’t even want to think about where they would be today, if Jesus hadn’t saved them.
Wonderful that both your parents came to Jesus :
Smiles. Thank God for life eternal. A great comfort that we will all see soon and worship Him together where there is no more death or sickness or anything ill.
Life eternal 🙂
