Christmas in Heaven

I thought this poem was really perfect for this Christmas! I know my Grandaddy is in Heaven celebrating his first Christmas with Jesus!! I miss him so much and am so sad I won't get to celebrate this Christmas with him...this was always my favorite time of year...getting to have Christmas with him and the excitement he had as he passed out all of the presents and his big jolly smile and laugh!! But, this year he is having the best Christmas EVER!!! He would not want to trade places with us even if he could! I just thought this poem was so perfect!! Everyone we know in Heaven is celebrating together...what a wonderful celebration they are having with Jesus himself on the day of his birth!! I can't even imagine!!!



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 can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you of 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.

I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place. Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face?

I'll ask Him to lift your spirit as I tell Him of your love, then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing for I am spending Christmas in Heaven, and I’m walking with the King.
