I see countless turkeys with all the trimmings around the world below, with tiny stars like Heaven's stars reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tears, for I am spending Thanksgiving with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many joyous songs that people hold so dear, but the sound of music can't compare with the glorious 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'm not so far away, we really aren't apart. So be happy for me dear one, you know I hold you dear, but be glad I'm spending Thanksgiving 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. After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold, It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other as my heavenly Father would want you to, for I can't count the blessings or love He has for each of you. So have a Happy Thanksgiving and wipe away those tears, remember, I am spending Thanksgiving withJesus Christ this year.
