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 the tear for I am spending 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 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, for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I can’t tell you of the splendor or the peace here in the this place. Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face-toface? 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 with THE KING.
