"I have been praying for you all that no matter the outcome, that you will not be bitter about this and blame God for any of this. That you will rely on him instead of asking "why me." If I'm not bitter about it, than you shouldn't be either. I have also been praying that my experience brings as many people to Jesus as possible or for you to grow in the faith you already have. None of this is in my control, the only thing I can control is how I pray and how I respond. God is still working in our lives even in times of struggle." Melissa Noack

My first Christmas in heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below with tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas 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 you know I hold you dear and be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above I sent 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 Father said to do for I can't count the blessings or love he has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

Our angel Melissa

Kyla asks about Mel all the time. I told her she was an angel that will watch over her up in the sky beyond the clouds. When we see an airplane she asks if the plane will bring her back down to us. It crushes me to tell her no, we will not see Melissa anymore, she is with God.  She told me she saw Melissa the other day. Melissa was with E.T. and they scared off the snakes and monsters under her bed. I do believe she is still around in spirit. I would love it if she would be Kyla's imaginary friend. Wyatt will grab Melissa's necklace that I wear and I tell him that Melissa gave it to me and he gets a huge smile on his face and says, Lissa. One of the main things Melissa said she would miss was the kids growing up and getting older, but I do believe she is still around and watching us all. At times I can feel her presence. It's the weirdest feeling, but I love it. She will see them grow older and I will make sure that they remember her and I know that she loved them like her own. Merry Christmas Melissa.
