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 Son's 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 the President 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 mistakes.
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.
My vote is to have Christmas traditions all year round. You see at
Christmas time most people at least the ones I have met, always change just a
little for the better around Christmas. I do not know whether or not it is the
great yuletide Christmas carols, the festive atmosphere everywhere you go, or just some
hidden part in all of us that screams out, ( I BELIEVE IN MORE THAN WHAT I SEE AROUND ME. ) You see, somewhere deep down inside we all
believe in something better than we now have or see, and most of
us feel a lot better when we help someone. Whether the person is
in need or not, this feeling is what I call the feeling of
Christmas, and we all should strive to feel this way all year long.
Christmas 2011 is on December 25th and is the first Christmas of a new decade. The feeling of the Christmas holidays is truly all about family, friends and celebrating all things good.
"TREAT ALL OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM TREAT YOU"
"Merry Christmas"
Enhance your Christmas, with Christmas poems
and stories highlighted with your favorite Christmas carols.
Christmas traditions are fast becoming a family way of life.
Poems are a simple way of inspiring others to join in on the Christmas
traditions that love and poems can bring to this Christmas holiday.
Christmas Traditions of Joy,
both big and small
so precious from the start,
are moments to recall
and treasure in the heart.
