Heaven is your home

As I weep and grieve

I remember the love and joy

That together we did weave.

Heaven is your home

Though it breaks my heart

It will not be forever

That we remain apart.

Heaven is your home

And when my time is done

I know that I will see you there

Shining brighter than the sun.

My favorite Christmas song this year is “Heaven Everywhere” by Francesca Battistelli. I have always loved the Christmas season, although the past several Christmases have felt more painful than joyful yet there was still something about Christmas I was longing for and I think this song explains that longing- “there’s a little bit of heaven everywhere”. And somehow Christmas makes heaven seem just a bit closer, which makes you feel closer to us. Another song I love is “The Sweetest Gift” by Craig Aven the chorus of this song says it just right. And it’s knowing where you and Who you are with that makes all the hard, painful days or nights easier to live through. I thank God for that hope, that faith and His love.

You’re with the Son of God
You’re with the Prince of Peace
You’re with the One we’re celebrating
And that thought amazes me
Sometimes I still break down
Grieving that we’re apart
But the sweetest gift is knowing where you are
You’re with the Son of God
