My First Christmas In Heaven



I see the countless Christmas trees, Around the world below,

With tiny lights, like Heaven’s stars,

Reflecting in the snow.



The sight is so spectacular,

Please wipe away that 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 don’t compare

With the Christmas choir up here.



I have no words to tell you,

The joy their voices bring,

For it’s beyond description,

To hear the angels sing.



I know how much you miss me,

I see the pain within your heart.

But I am not so far away,

We really aren’t apart.



Be happy for me, dear ones,

You know I hold you near,

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 blessings,

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!





In loving memory of Zach, Eben, Betsy, Mitch, Max, Trish,

Sterling Michael, Katie Beth, Jessica & Matthew

I received this from the Stockwells~ I thought it was beautiful. (They held the conference this summer at Glen Eyrie for people who have lost their children.)
