Merry Christmas From Heaven

Holidays are always toughest the first year after a loss of a loved one.  This year will be difficult for a couple of people who are dear to me.  One lost her husband and the other his parents.  My thoughts and prayers will be with them both and their families as they go through the season.
                 When my husband passed in December 2006, a poem and ornament was given to me to remember him during Christmas.  I want to share the poem with both of them, their families and anyone going through this festive season with grief.

                                            MERRY  CHRISTMAS  FROM  HEAVEN


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

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

                                                       I just want to tell you
                                                       you still make me proud
                                                  You stand hand 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 of the time
                                                       He forgives you the slip
                                                      If you continue the 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 am spending my
                                                    Christmas with Jesus this year.

                              I always want you to know that you never leave my thoughts and that I love you very much.    Merry Christmas!
