Christmas in Heaven....

At this, the most joyful time of year, I am so grateful for loving family and friends. But I always face the season with a bit of saddness wishing that Matt and all of the other love ones that have been lost in years past were with us. A special friend gave me a copy of this poem years ago and I continue to drag it out and read it each season to remind myself that though I might have sadness in my heart that heaven is what we all wish for, and there will be great joy when we are together again.


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,
I am spending my 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 my 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 blessings or love he has for each of you.

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