Pastor Gina McKinney (Calvary Baptist Church - Garfield, NJ) offers gentle encouragement for those facing the holidays with an empty seat at the table and an ache in the heart. She reminds us that grief is real, love is deep, and God’s nearness is healing—especially during seasons that highlight absence. While the world expects celebration, those grieving may feel the tension between gratitude and sorrow. Yet God invites His children to bring both emotions to Him. Thanksgiving may feel different when a chair is empty, but God’s presence fills every space loss leaves behind. Even with tears, you can still give thanks—because the One who heals, holds, and helps is sitting at the table with you.
