In this time of year when there is so much said about the “War on Christmas”, I thought this was very appropriate. I found this on a friend’s facebook status. It was too good not to share.
Dear children,
It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are
taking My name out of the season. Maybe you’ve forgotten that I wasn’t
actually born during this time of the year and that it was some of you’re
predecessors who decided to celebrate My birthday on what was actually a
time of Pagan festival. Although I do appreciate being remembered anytime.
How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily
understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your
own. I don’t care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My
birth just, GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Now, having said that let Me
go on.
If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn’t allow a scene
depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santas and snowmen
and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn. If all My
followers did that there wouldn’t be any need for such a scene on the town
square because there would be many of them all around town.
Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holiday
tree, instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can &
may remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you
wish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching explaining who I am in
relation to you & what each of our tasks were. If you have forgot that
one, look up John 15: 1 – 8.
If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is my
wish list. Choose something from it.
1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My
birthday is being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers
away from home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of
year. I know, they tell Me all the time.
2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don’t have to know them
personally. They just need to know that someone cares about them.
3. Instead of writing Obama complaining about the wording on the
cards his staff sent out this year, why don’t you write and tell him that
you’ll be praying for him and his family this year. Then follow up.
It will be nice hearing from you again.
4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can’t afford and
they don’t need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth,
and why I came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms
and remind them that I love them.
5. Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or
her.
6. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their
own life this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since you
don’t know who that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm
smile it could make the difference. Also, you might consider supporting
the local Hot-Line: they talk with people like that every day.
7. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls the
holiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warm smile
and a kind word. Even if they aren’t allowed to wish you a “Merry
Christmas” that doesn’t keep you from wishing them one. Then stop shopping
there on Sunday. If the store didn’t make so much money on that
day they’d close and let their employees spend the day at home with their
families.
8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary,
especially one who takes My love & Good News to those who have never heard
My name. You may already know someone like that.
9. Here’s a good one. There are individuals & whole families in
your town who not only will have no “Christmas” tree, but neither will
they have any presents to give or receive. If you don’t know
them (and I suspect you don’t) buy some food & a few gifts & give them to
the Marines, the Salvation Army or some other charity that
believes in Me & they will make the delivery for you.
10. Finally if You want to make a statement about your belief
in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don’t do things in
secret that you wouldn’t do in My presence. Let people know by your
actions that you are one of mine.
P.S. Don’t forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me
& do what I have told you to do. I’ll take care of all the rest. Check out
the list above & get to work; time is short. I’ll help you, but
the ball is now in your court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with
all those whom you love and remember, I LOVE YOU
God stuff
