From: Ira Kapitonova in Kyiv (Day 1032)
Let them be like the grass on the housetops,
which withers before it grows up,
with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms
Psalm 129:6-7
This picture shook me to the core. They set up empty chairs with soldier’s uniforms on them around the Christmas table to remind about the soldiers gone missing in action or taken into captivity.
Unfortunately, many families will have empty seats at their Christmas table. We know someone whose son is missing. We know someone who lost their loved one on the frontline this year. We know quite a few people who will spend their Christmas in trenches. These are the names that fill our daily prayers.
Lest we forget!
