Christmas in Heaven
My First Christmas in Heaven
(~anonymous)
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.
was always most important
the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
my Father said to do.
I can’t count the blessing or love
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.
I love you, Dad. I miss you every second of every day, but I know you’re okay and you’re with us in spirit as much as ever. I’ll eat an extra piece of meat pie for you – with extra ketchup. It was weird to come home for Christmas and not have an extra pile of gifts for Mom that you were going to “let” me wrap for you. I miss the way you always asked me to pass you gifts from under the tree so you could feel them and try to figure out what they were. Your grandson has inherited your zest for gift opening – he opens whatever he spots under there so there’s actually nothing under there early this year. We’ll all be thinking of you as we celebrate Christmas this year, as we do every day. Thanks for all the great memories…I know how lucky we are to have someone to miss so much.
Love always,
Nicole
