Remember My Birthday???
Thank-you Jesus for visiting me
On my birthday!
As you well know,we are getting closer
to my birthday.
Every year there is a celebration
in my honor and I think that this year
the celebration will be repeated.
During this time there are many people
shopping for gifts,
there are many radio announcements,
TV commercials, and in every part of
the world everyone is talking that
my birthday is getting closer and closer.
It is really very nice to know,
It is really very nice to know,
that at least once a year,
some people think of me.
As you know, the celebration of my
birthday began many years ago.
At first people seemed to understand
and be thankful of all that I did
for them, but in these times,
no one seems to know the reason
for the celebration.
Family and friends get together
and have a lot of fun,
but they don't know the meaning
of the celebration.
I remember that last year there was
I remember that last year there was
a great feast in my honor.
The dinner table was full of delicious foods,
pastries,fruits,assorted nuts and chocolates.
The decorations were exquisite
and there were many,
many beautifully wrapped gifts.
But, do you want to know something?
I wasn't invited, I was the guest of honor
and they didn't remember
to send me an invitation.
The party was for me,
but when that great day came,
I was left outside,
they closed the door in my face...
and I wanted to be with them
and share their table.
In truth, that didn't surprise me
because in the last few years
all close their doors to me.
Since I was not invited,
Since I was not invited,
I decided to enter the party
without making any noise.
I went in and stood in a corner.
They were all drinking;
there were some who were drunk
and telling jokes and laughing at everything.
They were having a great time.
To top it all, this big fat man all dressed
in red wearing a long white beard
entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho!
He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa
and all the children ran to him,
saying : "Santa Claus,
Santa Claus"..as if the party were in his honor !
At 12 midnight all the people
At 12 midnight all the people
began to hug each other ;
I extended my arms waiting for
someone to hug me and ...
do you know .... no one hugged me.
Suddenly they all began to share gifts.
They opened them one by one
with great expectation.
When all had been opened,
I looked to see if, maybe,
there was one for me.
What would you feel if on your
birthday everybody shared gifts
and you did not get one ?
I then understood that I
was unwanted at that party and quietly left.
Every year it gets worse.
Every year it gets worse.
People only remember to eat and drink,
the gifts, the parties and nobody
remembers me.
I would like this Christmas that
you allow me to enter into your life.
I would like that you recognize
the fact that almost two thousand
years ago I came to this world
to give my life for you,
on the cross, to save you.
Today, I only want that you believe
this with all you heart.
I want to share something with you.
I want to share something with you.
As many didn't invite me to their party,
I will have my own celebration,
a grandiose party that no one
has ever imagined,a spectacular party.
I'm still making the final arrangements.
Today I am sending out many invitations
and there is an invitation for you.
I want to know if you wish to
attend and I will make a reservation
for you and write your name
with golden letters in my great guest book.
Only those on the guest list will
be invited to the party.
Those who don't answer the invitation,
will be left outside.
Do you know how you can answer
this invitation?
It is by extending it to others
whom you care for...
I'll be waiting for all of you
to attend my party this year...
See you soon ..... I love you !
-Jesus-
See you soon ..... I love you !
-Jesus-
Hope you have a Blessed Christmas!
Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or
girl, W! hat's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He
knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even
knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and
builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put Christ back in Christmas.
Jesus is still the reason for the season.
Happy Birthday Jesus !!
I love you too my brothers and sisters in Christ,let us truly remember the real reason for the season.God bless you one and all!!
Lovingly in Christ; 
me for a visit often!
