I'm dedicating this to the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary sin Newtown, Connecticut shooting last Friday. God bless and keep each of the families.
Twas' eleven days before Christmas, around 9:38, when twenty beautiful children stormed through Heaven's gate.
Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air. They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
They were filled with such joy; they didn't know what to say.
They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
"Where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
"This is Heaven", declared a small boy. "We're spending Christmas in God's house!"
When what to their wondering eyes did appear, but Jesus, their Savior; the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled and called them by name. And, in that moment, was joy that only Heaven can bring.
He looked at them and smiled and they smiled just the same. Then he opened his arms and he called them by name.
And, in that moment was joy that only Heaven can bring. Those children all flew into the arms of their King, and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace, one small girl turned and looked up at Jesus' face.
And, as if he could read all the questions she had, he gently whispered, "I'll take care of your Mom and Dad".
Then he looked down on earth, to the world far below and he saw all the hurt, the sorrow, and woe.
He closed His eyes and outstretched his hand, "Let my power and presence re-enter this land! May this country be delivered from the hands of the fools. I'm taking back my nation; I'm taking back my schools!"
Then he and the children stood up without making a sound. "Come now, my children, let me show you around."
Excitement filled the space; some skipped and some ran - all displaying enthusiasm only a small child can.
And, I heard him proclaim as he walked out of sight,
"In the midst of the darkness, I AM the Light."
