My First Christmas In Heaven

There is nothing like a Holiday to emphasize the gaping hole in our lives from a loved one who has passed away. I cannot comprehend how anyone goes through a death without Jesus Christ and the hope of eternity. Having lost my mom last year, it is because I know my mom knew Jesus, that I am able to go through each day of missing her, knowing that each day is one day closer to seeing her again. And, on that day that we are reunited, we will rejoice that there will never be another separation.......ever.

I know there are others of you who will read this today, having been through your own losses this year. People I may never meet, but who understand the pain of missing someone this Christmas. I do not know who wrote this poem below, but I pray that it will soothe, as a bandaid on your aching heart. Someday, we will all be reunited and I am looking forward to that day with great anticipation and the hope of all eternity.


My First 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 music there cannot compare with the Christmas choir 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; the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
So please be happy for me, you know I hold you dear.
Be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent to you a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I sent to you a memory of my undying love.
For love is a gift more precious than the purest, finest gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other as our Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessings or love he has for you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
