NEW YORK (CONVERSEER) – Wife of late Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk shared a Thanksgiving Day post on Instagram, thanking God for bringing “life out of ashes” and supporters for all the cards and gifts they have sent.
“Charlie and I always loved Thanksgiving because it drew us back to the simple, but holy practice of gratitude.”
“And even now, well, especially now, in the depths of the ache, I’m reminded of that gratitude. God blessed me with being married to the love of my life, with our beautiful babies, with our family and friends, and with people from all over the world who have sent us letters, toys, artwork, and Bibles.”

“It’s easy to fixate on what’s been taken, at what’s missing. But my goodness does the Lord meet me in my weakness, and His strength gently shifts my eyes to what I still have on this side of heaven. What remains is sacred.”
“I can’t express what the outpouring of love has meant to me and the babies. I’m reading every letter and card, opening every gift, and saving each one for them when they’re older.
“I’m thankful for a God who brings life out of ashes, who guards my heart, and who carries us as we do our best…today and every day.”
