the 5th Christmas – Merry Christmas from Heaven

December 24, 2010 by Wendy S

This Christmas is the 5th Christmas since my Dad passed away.  He is missed so very much.  I know he is still with me in all that I do.  There are so many times I wish I could just pick up the phone and hear his voice.

Not having my Dad here at Christmas time is especially tough. Christmas is so important to our family. Growing up my extended family was all over North America so we always traveled great distances so that we could be together.  Now the distance needed to travel is much too great.

 
 

Two years ago, I posted the poem, Christmas In Heaven, which my family read in 2005 when he first passed away.

Today I came across this poem.  I don’t think I need to explain why I’m posting it.  And I know that there will be some of you reading this who will probably cry as much as I did.

 
 

Merry Christmas from Heaven

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold wintry nights.

I still share your hopes
and all your cares
I’ll even remind you
to please say all your prayers.

I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd.

Keep trying each moment
to stay in His grace
I came here before you
to help set your place.

You don’t have to be
perfect all the time
He forgives you the slip
if you continue to climb.

To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I’m still close beside you
in a new special way.

I love you all dearly
now don’t shed a tear
cause I’m spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year.

Christmas in Heaven

December 23, 2009 by Wendy S

Even with all the excitement leading up to Christmas, part of me is sad that my Dad isn’t with us anymore.  This poem makes me feel a little better knowing he is at peace.


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 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
for I am spending CHRISTMAS WITH JESUS CHRIST this year.

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
so 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.
