Mom sent this to me in a Fw email and I felt led to share!
It has come to my attention that many of
you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the
season.
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 Santa’s 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 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 and what
each of our tasks were. If you have forgotten 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
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 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.
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 and Good News to those who have never
heard My name.
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. If you don’t know
them, buy some food and a
few gifts and give them to the Salvation Army or some other
charity which believes in Me and 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.
Don’t forget; I am
God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me and do what I
have told you to do. I’ll take care of all the rest. Check
out the list above and 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,
JESUS

My prayer is that all of you homeschoolers out there never have to make this difficult decision. Homeschooling has changed my life and I will never forget the wonderful friends I have made online and locally!
