I'm Spending Christmas with Jesus Christ This Year

My sister got a Christmas card from the nursing home where Mama lived for the last 7 1/2 months she was with us. Enclosed was the following poem:

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'm spending Christmas

with Jesus Christ this year .

I hear the many Christmas songs

that people hold so dear,
but earthly music can't compare

with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you

the joy their voices bring,
for it's beyond description

to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me.

Trust God and have no fear.
For I'm spending Christmas

with Jesus Christ this year.

I can't tell you of all the splendor

or the peace here in this place.
Can you imagine Christmas

with our Savior face to face?

May god uplift your spirit

as I tell Him of your love.
Then pray for one another

as you lift your eyes above.

So let your hearts be joyful,

and let your spirits sing!
For I'm spending Christmas in heaven,

and I'm walking with the King!
