Letter from God to His
Children
This Holiday Season
Dear Children,
It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks
are taking My Son's name out of the season. Maybe you've forgotten
that I didn’t send my Son in December, it was some of your ancestors
who decided to celebrate My Son's birthday at what was, in ancient
times, a pagan festival; although, I do appreciate Jesus 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 Jesus' birth just,
GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE
ANOTHER.
If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a
scene depicting My Son's birth, then make room on your lawn for the
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 the
trees. You can remember me anytime you see a tree.
Instead of fusing over trimmings and traditions, consider giving My
Son one of the gifts below this Christmas…
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 George 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 who’s hurt you in the past, forgive them, and give them
the gift of a future—free from the pain, shame, and guilt of
yesterday’s yuck.
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.
8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary,
especially one who takes My love and 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 and
whole families in your town who not only will have no “Christmas"
tree, but neither will they have any presents to give or receive. Be
sensitive to the needs of others. A few cans of food or a simple
gift can go along way towards good will on earth.
10.
Finally if you want to make a statement about your belief in 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.
Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Please, if
you love me, love my children—all of them, especially the ones that
challenge your traditions. I'll take care of all the rest.
Invite others to a Christmas festival that has more to do with eternity
than all the trimmings and traditions of December 25th.
