Aaron (A.J.) Rensel

In loving memory of Aaron (A.J.) Rensel.

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.

The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear

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 angels 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 sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.

I sent you each a memory of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold, was always more important the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, my Father said to do.

I can't count the blessing or love has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and

Wipe away that tear

Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
