It is very important to our family to never allow Lil Will's memory to fade from our lives. As many of you know, Lil Will's earthly body is at rest in our family cemetery so his meemaw and granddaddy keep a close on eye him everyday. William and I try to go visit him as often as we can but sometimes our ministry and work obligations prevent us from doing so. Thanksgiving was the first time in two months that we had the opportunity to spend sometime with Lil Will at his grave site. We knew we wanted to decorate his site for this holiday season and the seasons to come even after we have selected his headstone. Although it was hard to be at his site, it was also a very joyous occasion. His spirit was there with us and God's arms were wrapped around us as we decorated his Christmas tree and placed his reindeer at his head. God walked with us during this past year and He was walking around with us on today as we decorated His son's grave site. God filled our hearts with joy even though were sad that our angel was not with us physically to celebrate Thanksgiving. Our son spent the day with our Father. We do not have to worry where he is, we know he is in the perfect arms of our Master, safe and sound. So, Father, I thank you for life, I thank you for the gift of my son, William Thomas Myers Carlisle. I thank you for your grace and your mercy. I thank you that you are a God who cares for us, who supplies our every need and never gives up on us. You are so awesome! I thank you for the joy, you give me even when my heart may be aching, I know there is hope in you. I love you Father!Today, find joy in everything you do, big or small. God loves you and he wants you to be joyful not only during this season but in every season. God Bless you all!!
