The following was in a Christmas card I received this year and it brought tears to my eyes. It was so touching that I couldn’t help but share it with you.

My first Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below, with tiny lights like heaven’s reflecting on the snow. A sight so spectacular, please wipe away your tears, for I am celebrating 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 here. I have not words to tell you the joy their voices bring; it’s far beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me… I see the pain within year heart, but I am not so far away… we really aren’t apart. So be happy for me, loved  ones, you know I hold you dear, and be glad I’m 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 the gift more precious than pure 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 the love He has for you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away those tears, for I am sharing Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
