Christmas in heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away the tear
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 can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
For it is 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 so far away,
We really aren't apart.

So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold.
It was always most important
in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other,
as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessing or love
He has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and
wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.

Christmas...

Merry Christmas to all of you who still visit this blog. And I know you do. It means a lot to me! Christmas is one of the hardest times of year for those that are mourning... Everyone else is happy, getting together with family and friends, celebrating, eating, and you just want to sleep till January 1st. This post is just a little reminder to pray for Maynard and Faye and others you know who are sad this year... It's especially tough for Maynards because last Christmas was scary and it's always in the back of your minds, "This time last year..."
Thanks for all the support, prayers, comments, in the last year.
