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.

I received this beautiful poem from Lucas Funeral Home today...I've been in awe at the thought that Jim is in heaven and gets to celebrate Jesus' birthday with Jesus!  It's overwhelming to think about and I can't help but be so happy for him...I do wish he was here, with me, the kids, the family, but goodness--how awesome! I wonder if they sing Happy Birthday to the "birthday boy"....
