This is in loving memory and honor of BJ, Marz, Kat who cannot be with us this Christmas, they are in Heaven.Celebrating with The Lord.I miss them.

I see the countless Christmas Trees,
Around the world below,
With tiny lights, like heaven’s stars,
Reflecting in the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear,
For I am spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I hear 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,
But I am not so far away,
We really aren’t apart.
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.

from grief and loss, healing after loss
Whatever the situation, know that God loves you,
and would like you to accept His gift of Jesus Christ as your Savior.

Merry Christmas from Bethlehem

In the stable, there is a sense of waiting,
prophesy to be fulfilled,history to be made.

In the stable,Mary the mother sweating to birth her child, in less than ideal circumstances,
the husband Joseph helping,Simple people touched by God, doing what needed to be done.
The child cleansed and wrapped, fed his first meal and laid into a manger to sleep.

The child,Jesus The Christ. Born to Save The world.
It was the gift we needed most: a Savior, the Holy Son of God.
In the stable the light of The Glory of God surrounding The Christ Child.
The Angelic Choir,singing , Praises to The King.
The promised Messiah. The King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

In the stable the magi who had followed the star laid before the Christ child,
the gifts. Gold for The king, ,the bitter perfumes of myrrh, and frankincense.
Gifted at birth with the perfume that would anoint him in death.
I think of the power that must have been present that day.
The joy bittersweet.

In the stable, the power Of God manifested in this child born of flesh,
conceived of the Spirit. Born of a virgin.
A gift freely offered.
In the stable, God loved the world so much that he gave his only son
to us,so that if we would believe, we would have
eternal life.
A gift we celebrate at Christmas, the Grace and love of God.

In the stable was peace.

Merry Christmas!
