Christmas Letter from Jesus

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

Goodbye Homeschooling

Tomorrow E will be going back to public school! It was truly the hardest decision I have ever had to make and I'm still not ok with it. However I know it's best for all of us ...right now. Please pray her adjustment goes smoothly, she is very nervous yet excited.

And with that I will be closing this blog down soon 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!
