Hi,
Tis the season coming up. I want to wish you all a very Happy and Merry Christmas, and a new year of good health and happiness.
I remember years ago when my family always got together. We'd draw names for Christmas presents. There were seven girls and three boys, and we'd all gather at Mom and Dad's home, where we all lived while we were growing up. We always had a bountiful, delicious, dinner, exchanged gifts, and had a wonderful time.
We only have three left in our family now, and this year we're having a hard time trying to get in the jolly Christmas mood because of sickness in the family. But we still have to accept the fact that we can't change, and hope and pray for better health, and carry on. We feel blessed being with our children and grandchildren.
My gem... Memories shared are blessings that keep on giving.
One of my grad daughters by marriage lost her grandmother (Evelyn Ruth Biggs) this past week. I'd like to send my deepest sympathy to all of their family. I want to share with them the poem, "My First Christmas in Heaven." I hope it will be a consolation to them. I also want to dedicate this poem in memory of my dear brother (Joe Calandro), who passed away on Dec. 17, 2011. We're going to miss him!
MY FIRST CHRISTMAS
IN HEAVEN
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights, like heaven's starts, reflecting the snow.
The sigh 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 sound 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 and we really are not 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.
Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do,
for I can't count the blessings or love He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away the tear.
Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
