A letter to heaven

Christina8

So, this Christmas, mom, I

know you can't be here with me.

You're flying with the angels in 

heaven and I know you're happy.

 

Sometimes I still grab 

the phone to call you.

I just want to talk about the

day and what we've been up to.

 

But you're safe in God's mansion.

And this I know is definitely true.

Just knowing that you're not in pain,

Makes me happy; I'm not blue!

 

Go take rest in Jesus's loving arms

and someday I'll be there to greet you.

But for now you'll live in my memory.

Until it's time to meet you anew.

 

Merry Christmas to all those we've loved and lost!

    I lost my Dad in April of 2013 and my sister in January 2010. I do believe that they are in heaven. I also believe they are in the bodies they felt best in. So, I miss them but have comfort knowing that they are happy and healthy and out of pain. I think your poem to your Mom is really touching. Look for pennies and things like that to appear when you need her touch. Note the year on the penny, for example. It may be significant. Just a little something I like to think about....:)

      Yeah, thanks for that. I see cardinals at odd times. I have a collection of them too. Thats when I'll think of her. Thanks for your kind words!

        You are very welcome! I love cardinals, too.

        This is BEAUTIFUL CHRIS and talking to Seniors this week some were crying at our Carol Sevice. I gave one lady a HUG and she said her husband had died in March and this was her first Christmas alone. By coincidence the CAROL that made her cry was O HOLY NIGHT which was her Husbands favorite. For some CHRISTMAS can be a sad time and we always have to be sensitive and empathetic. I love the ASSURANCE of Eternal Life ~ for you and your Mum ~ In my experience such assurance does make the death of loved ones more bearable. Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Your caring Friend BRIAN
