Christmas In Heaven

(Author unknown)

We’re wondering what Christmas in Heaven is like
As we grieve alone and pray,
longing for one who has gone before
To spend Christmas in Heaven today.

And so in our dreams we wander far
From the scenes and sounds of earth
‘Til we catch the strains of the Heavenly choir
As they sing of the Christ Child’s birth.

The Angels we envision there As they join in the restal gay
And there amid the throng is our Loved One
Spending Christmas in Heaven today.

There’s joy in the faith that teaches
When our life’s work is done
Of a place in Heaven awaiting
And the crown we worked for is won.

In our grief may we learn well the lesson
So to work and suffer and pray
As to merit the joys of our loved one
And to spend Christmas together some day.

You are the winds that blow,
You are the diamonds in the snow,
You are the sun that melts my pain,
You are the gently autumns rain.
You are the graceful bird in flight,
You are the stars that shine at night,
You were the heartbeat of my life,
I wish you weren't gone. but here instead.
We have you as an angel now.
Blessed by the peace you bring.
And. although I cannot see you.
I can feel the brush of your wings.
You bring me light in darkness
And calmness in times of fear.
And hope lives in the knowing
That you are always near.

WHAT DOES HEAVEN LOOK LIKE?



What does Heaven look like?
Is it pretty, is it white?
Is there only goodness up there?
Does it always shine so bright?


Do the stars reach up to Heaven?
Can you hold one in your hands?
Does the ocean gleam with silver?
Can you run on golden sands?


Is it filled with tiny angels?
Are there halos on their heads?
Are they dressed in silk pajamas?
Do they sleep on clouds for beds?


Do the angels watch from Heaven?
All the things we do each day?
Did they get unhappy with me
On the night I didn't pray?


Are there gardens up in Heaven?
Do the flowers bloom all year?
Is their fragrance that much sweeter
Than it is in gardens here?


Is there music up in Heaven?
Do the angels dance around?
Are there harps and trumpets playing?
Do they make a joyous sound?


Are there lambs in Heaven's meadows?
Are there doves in Heaven's skies?
Are there places you can play with
Brightly colored butterflies?


Are there pets allowed in Heaven?
Fuzzy kittens running free?
If I saw my puppy up there
Do you think he'd come to me?


Are there pillars draped with satin?
Are there benches made of gold?
Can you live up there forever
Without ever growing old?


Oh, I may not know the answers,
But I know where Heaven starts;
When I show my love for others,
I know Heaven's in my heart.
