Christmas In Heaven

A friend sent this poem to me in the mail during the holidays and I had planned on sharing it with you guys on Christmas Day but we were on a schedule and pooped by the end of the night and I forgot to do so. Shea and I had a great Christmas considering everything that we have been going through these past few months. We had some moments of sadness...moments of crying VERY hard, and LOTS of moments with laughter. We were surrounded by friends and family which always brings joy to my heart.

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.

I will be posting pictures from Nashville and Christmas soon, but now I must get started balancing our checkbook...paying bills...and writing thank you notes!

Love,
Bethany
