My First Christmas in Heaven

I saw this and thought of Jeremy. Of course, it's his 2nd Christmas in Heaven, but I think we were all in too much shock last year to acknowledge it. I think it's important to remember that Jeremy made it; he's with Christ. I miss him, but I am so happy for him! His dear and tender heart belongs in heaven, he was really too good for this earth. He is still alive in all of us that loved him. Let us honor Jeremy by giving a little more love, caring and understanding to those around us.


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.
This sight is so spectacular; please wipe away the tears,
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 angel's 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'm 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 the gift more precious than gold,
It was always the most important in the stories JESUS told.

Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do,
For I can't count the blessings of love He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas, and wipe away the tears,
Remember, I'm spending Christmas with JESUS CHRIST this year.

New Day

Maybe the key to happiness is to realize that each day starts anew. It's usually not a gentle beginning or ending.Unless you know the difference from these pictures of sunrise and sunset you can't tell the difference. The day begins and ends in fire.
Getting through each day is like this. If you can just remember that the "fire" is temporary you can get through it. That might be the difference between people that get depressed and stay depressed and those who just experience life's highs and lows and get on with it. All pain and unhappiness is fleeting. If we don't let it rule our world then we can also experience the happy moments, which, of course, are fleeing also. Only one thing in life is constant and never-changing....God's love for us. If we could only focus more on that this life would be a breeze!

I found this awesome website. There's a new picture from the Hubble Telescope every day until Christmas. These pictures are so great!
