MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN,byWanda Bencke-for all of us missing departed loved ones on this Christmas.
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 Cristmas songs that people hold so dear,but the sounds of music cant compare with 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 their voices sing.I know how much you miss me,I see the pain inside your heart.But I am not so far away.We really arent apart.So be happy for me,dear ones.You know I hold you dear,And be glad Im spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I send each of you 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 my Father said to do,For I cant count the blessings or love He has for each of you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember,Im spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. AMEN...........
