I see the countless CHRISTMAS TREES around the world below with tiny lights like HEAVEN'S STARS reflecting on the snow. The sight is so SPECTACULAR please wipe away that tear for I am spending CHRISTMAS WITH JESUS CHRIST this year. I hear the many CHRISTMAS SONGS that people hold so dear but the SOUND OF MUSIC can't comparewith the CHRISTMAS CHORUS up here. I have no words to tell you the JOY their voices bring for it is beyond description to HEAR THE ANGELS SING. I know HOW MUCH YOU MISS ME, I see the pain inside your heart for I am spending CHRISTMAS WITH JESUS CHRIST this year. I can't tell you of the SPLENDOR or the PEACE here in this place can you just imagine CHRISTMAS WITH OUR SAVIOR face to face. I'll ask him ti LIFT YOUR SPIRIT as I tell him of love so then PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER as you lift you eyes above. Please let your HEARTS BE JOYFUL and let your SPIRIT SING for I am spending CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN and I'm walking WITH THE KING. Wanda Bencke Fiss & Bills-Poklasny Funeral Homes 865 S.
