This was sent to me by Venesa Montague. Her mother sent it to her the first Christmas after Venesa lost her daughter Mandi. It is a beautiful reminder...

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 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 sound of music cannot 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 am spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I send you each a special gift
From my heavenly home above,
I send 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 that Jesus told.

Please love each other
As The Father said to do,
For I cannot 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!
