Just a thought

Christmas time is the hardest time for me to get through. I have so many things in my life to be grateful for, but around this time of year I cant see past my family, and the many trials we have been through the last 2 years. It makes me so sad. There is nothing I wish for more, than to spend a day with my family. Obviously this is nearly impossible because my sister Whitney is in heaven. My most favorite christmas gift I have ever recieved was last year, My mom gave each of us kids a black box with a ribbon tied to the top. Inside were several of my sisters possessions. In my box was her favorite jean jacket, and one of her missionary callenders, pictures and one of her stuffed animals that was with her the whole time she was at the hospital. Attached to the top of the box was a copy of this poem that I adore. I've never had a more thoughtful meaningful christmas gift in my entire life. It really turned things around for me and made me realize whats important in my life. I LOVE MY FAMILY, and I can honestly say it. There is nothing I enjoy more than the love and trials we go through together. I hope you enjoy the poem and more importantly enjoy and cherish every second you share with your family!

All my love,
Chultz

I see the countless Christmas trees

around the world below

with tiny lights like heaven stars

reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular

Please wipe away that that tear

For I'm spending Christmas

with Jesus Christ this year

I hear the many Christmas songs

That people hold so dear

O', the sounds of music can't compare

with the Christmas choir up here.

For I have no words to tell you

of the joy their voices bring

for it's beyond description

to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,

I see the pain inside your heart.

but, through our memories so dear..

We're never far apart.

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 to light your spirit

As I tell him of your Love.

Then I'll pray for 'One another'

As you lift your eyes above.

So please let your heart be joyful

and let your spirit sing

for I'm spending Christmas in heaven

and I'm walking with the king.
