All I Want For Christmas

This year has been a truly difficult time for myself and all of us as this pandemic has changed the ways we gather together.

As many of us may spend Christmas alone or with just our own family in the confines of our home, let’s try to remember that we are still surrounded by God’s love this Christmas.

This Christmas week, my boyfriend and grown kids spent it up north. I was suppose to be there with my grand daughter but that wasn’t the plan God had for me or us.

I stayed behind and somehow I didn’t feel sad but I felt a sense of peace and hope deep in my soul.

My world is filled with work and I over extend myself to keep myself busy with other matters. I need to keep busy so that I don’t feel the pain and loss of my dear son.

Perhaps God wanted me to be exactly where I am…alone wrapped in His love and peace.

I never went to bed last night, instead I found myself on the couch sitting next to my boy wrapped in his blanket of love. An overwhelming feeling of warmth, love and peace within me for the very first time.

All I want for Christmas is you!

My son Mikey always thought I put everyone and everything before myself. He would often say “mom, when do you ever do for you?”

Well, this Christmas I believe he received his wish and I experienced the most love of all. The gift of love from God, my Heavenly Father.

I am not alone. He has never left me. He is with me always.

Romans 15:13 say, “I pray that God the source of Hope will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.”

This is my 2nd Christmas with my son in Heaven. While I miss him terribly and I feel the loss of his physical being I am also filled with hope, love and peace knowing he is always with me now.

Christmas in Heaven. what do they do? They come down to earth. to spend it with you. So save them a seat. Just one empty chair. You may not see them. but they will be there.

May this Christmas Day bring you, love, hope, joy and peace.

Merry Christmas in Heaven Mikey and to all our Angel’s.
