~ Christmas Memories, ~
We remember the night the Lord Jesus
came to Earth to fulfill the Father's Promise.
We stare at the baby in our Nativity's
with hearts full of amazement and wonder.
We are humbled to know that His coming
was the ONLY way that mankind could be
redeemed and reconciled.
His Blood the ONLY pure sacrifice.
The Father's ONLY Son.
His ONLY Son
to take away the sins of the world.

We decorate our homes to reflect the
celebration going on in our hearts.
We sing songs, read stories, and watch movies
on television. We give and receive gifts.
We give and receive extra hugs and extra kisses.

Our memories are filled with love,
laughter, and joy. They are wonderful
to visit. But sometimes the visiting
causes us to shed a few tears.
Because even as we are spending time
with family and friends there is an aching
for the ones that are no longer in our presence.
We remember when they went on to be with
the Lord. Our hearts are pricked with the sorrow
of missing them. We think about their last Christmas spent with us
and our eyes fill with tears.

Though we would not want them
to return from the Glory of Heaven,
we still miss them.
We would like one more hug.
One more moment of looking into their eyes.
One more touch of their hand.
Just one more opportunity to say,
I love you and hear I Love You in return.

This Christmas page is Dedicated
to the ones we love and miss.
If you have a loved one
you would like to be remembered, email me.
The Link is at the botom of the page.
