First Christmas in Heaven.

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
with tiny lights like heavens stars reflecting on the snow,
the sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away your tears,
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music cant compare with the Christmas choir up here,
i have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring,
for its beyond description to hear the angels sing
I know how much you miss me,I see the pain inside your heart
but i am not far away
we really arent apart
so be happy for me dear one you know i hold you dear
and be glad im spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
i send you a special gift from my heavenly home above
i send you a dear memory of my truly undying love
after all love is the gift
more precious than pure
it is always most important in the stories Jesus told
please love and keep each other
as My Father said to do
for i cant count the blessings on the love
He has for you.
So have a Merry Christmas
and wipe away that tear
remember im spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

Wow! That was powerful. I just posted to a thread in the gratitude list. This truly gave me cold chills...pleas read what i wrote about my mother there. I may be crazy but today I am going to count that as a message from her. I am so glad you posted this! It is beautiful! Guess you can tell how sentimental I am...

Well I said I wasn't going to be sad today(about my mom) but that one has brought tears to my eyes. They have to be happy tears...they just have to!

I like that reminder of spending Christmas with Jesus....

Esp. this time of the yr as i embark on a new adventure
in my life. A new job, a new place to live back in my own
home town.

I will need to rely on His goodness and mercy now and always.

Thank u grasshopper for those words....

MUCH APPRECIATED.

Thank you for that post.
My father passed away suddenly this time last year
and I was feeling blue about it today - your post was
just what I needed to read.

My son died in October, and there's no one I'd rather see him spend Christmas with. I'm going to print this out and give a copy to my family, they will appreciate it.
