Christmas In Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees, around the world below, With tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
This 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 compare with the Christmas choir up here. For I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, For it's beyond description to hear an angel sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart, But I am not so far away, we are really 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.
I send you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above, I send you each a memory, of my undying love.
For after all "Love" is the gift, more precious than pure gold, It was always most important, in the stories Jesus told.
So please love and help each other, as my Father said to do, For I cannot count the blessings, or the love He has for you.
So have a Merry Christmas, and wipe away that tear, 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 imagine Christmas, with our Savior, face to face?
I'll ask Him to lift your spirit, as I tell Him of your love, So then pray for one another, as you lift your eyes above.
So please let your hearts be joyful, and let your spirits sing, For I am spending Christmas in heaven, and I'm walking with the King!

Wishing you hope, peace and comfort for Christmas and throughout
the New Year!
Thinking of you and
your precious Chance always.


MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM MY FAMILY TO YOUR FAMILY.
This is my poem that was published on the newsletter at the Annual Candle Lighting from The Compassionate Friends in my town.
Yesterday was a sad moment seeing my precious son Patrick's name and pictures on display among the children who were gone way too soon from us... Yesterday was also my Christmas moment in memory of my beautiful son Patrick Christian who has forever changed my life the day he left me empty, confused, and so alone to grieve!
Lighting a candle for my son Patrick
Before I lost my son Patrick
Lighting a candle was just a tradition
To get my prayers answered more quickly,
But today after I lost my son Patrick
Lighting a candle is a painful reminder
Of my greatest loss of a beautiful life cut
So short... My son Patrick.
Lighting a candle is now an unthinkable,
Unbearable reminder of so many hopes
And dreams taken away from me.
But in the depth of my sorrowful journey,
Lighting a candle is also precious
Memories of Patrick that are taken into my
Broken heart and shattered soul as a
Keepsake to keep his memories alive
Beyond my life on earth.
Lighting a candle for my son is my faith
In God to embrace Patrick's new life
As glorious and peaceful as His kingdom.
Lighting a candle for my son Patrick is a
Symbol of my eternal love for him
That I am his mom and he is my son for
Eternity, for love never dies but grows
Deeper.
Lighting a candle will always surround
The beautiful soul of Patrick wherever I am
To guide him into eternal life.
Lighting a candle says it all Son:
I love you
I miss you
I need you
I am here for you always
You see, God, lighting a candle is a
Must... A link from me a lost mother to my
Beautiful son Patrick.
O Lord, Let it Shine High and Bright!!!
Amen. Amen. Amen.
Dedicated to my son Patrick Christian
LostMom to Patrick Barbosa

When my heart is heavy,
full of worries and cares,
it's a comfort to know
that you're out there.
When the sky is gray
and everything's going wrong,
I know you'll walk beside me
even if the road is long.
And you'll stay with me
until the sun shines once more,
because you know exactly
what angels are for.


Life's most
beautiful things
are not seen
with the eyes,

but felt
with the heart.

Wishing you
a special Thanksgiving
of the heart.


HAPPY VETERANS DAY TO ALL OUR ANGELS AND PARENTS... FAMILIES!
PEACE, LOSTMOM TO PATRICK BARBOSA

"We're alike you and I
And we need each other.
Don't turn away but give me your hand
And for a time we can cease to be strangers.
And become who we truly are,
A family closer than blood.
United by a bond that was forced upon us--
But a bond that can make us stronger,
Still wounded and not sure,
But stronger because our sorrows are shared."
"WE NEED NOT WALK ALONE"

~WISHING YOU A BLESSED FALL~
AUTUMN GLORY
AUTUMN BREEZE IS BLOWING
CHILL IS IN THE AIR,
LEAVES ARE GENTLY SWIRLING,
SCATTERED HERE AND THERE.
PEOPLE CLAD IN JACKETS,
CIDER NICE AND HOT,
WIENER ROAST AND CAMPFIRE,
SURE DOES HIT THE SPOT.
FOOTBALL GAMES ON FRIDAYS,
FANS CAN NOW BE FOUND,
HUDDLED ROUND IN BLANKETS,
RIVALS COME TO TOWN.
WINTERTIME IS COMING,
LEAVES ARE BEIGN SHED,
LOVELY SHADES OF YELLOW,
TOUCH OF CRIMSON RED.
FROST IS ON THE PUMPKIN,
CHILDRE JUMB AND RUN,
DAYS ARE GROWING SHORTER,
GOLDEN FIELDS ARE SPUN.
GOD IS QUITE THE ARTIST,
PAINTS A CANAPY,
ADDS A SPLASH OF COLOR,
FOR EVERYONE TO SEE!!
....BY MARILYN FERGUSEN

How sweet to have such special friends
When days are dark and dreary
How nice to hear I'm praying for you
And feel the warmth of God's love too.
The encouraging words come from afar
Life is so easy as we build a special bond
When you are in the valley low
Friends do pray their love will show.
Our friends are like a thread of gold
We care love and hold them dear
God knew we would need each other
His command was "To love one another."
We may never meet this side of heaven
Tho' we feel each others hurt and pain
We'll continue to pray for those we love
Until someday we'll meet in heaven above.
Thank you my friends for being so dear
For showing love and your fervent prayer
I talk to my God for you each day
Mei you feel His warmth in every way.
.......BY BERNICE WARD

YOU ARE A BLESSING
I thank the Lord so often
for the people that He sends
to love and care for others,
as kind and gentle friends.
I pray that He will Bless you,
for each thoughtful thing you do,
and send reminders everyday,
of His great Love for you.
...Thanks so much....

I'm sending you an angel hug
to brighten your day.
Your angel will smooth out the road
should trouble come your way.

She'll ease your disappointment
and take away your fear

is the only song you hear.

She'll plant the seeds
of love and hope
deep inside your heart,
and her touch of sunshine
will make the clouds depart.
So when you're feeling weary,
frustrated, or blue,

"I'll trust in God for leading
Each moment of my day.
I will look to God for guidance
In each step of the way."
"The path that lies before me,
Only my Lord knows.
I'll trust God to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose."

Angel of Light...
There's a guardian angel
watching over you,
an angel of light,
sent from God to guide you
in everything you do.
Listen very carefully,
and you'll hear its voice.
Close your eyes and you'll feel
a presence that
will make your heart rejoice.
Love flows from heaven
through your guardian angel
to make you feel warm
even when you feel
lost and beaten by the storm.
You need never feel alone,
because your guardian angel
will be there for you always
to lead you along the right path,
and brighten your days.
Your guardian angel will
forever strive
to help you learn and grow,
giving you the
strength and inspiration
you need in order
to seek your very own rainbow.
Your guardian angel
makes sure that God hears
your every prayer,
your every request
and that your good deeds
are recorded in heaven
to make you doubly blest.
Your guardian angel
is your best friend
with plenty of heaven's
love and light to lend.
So the next time you pray,
remember to give thanks
for the angel of light
who will be there for you
all of your days.
