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 Santas 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 and may remember Me anytime you see any tree.
If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is my wish list:
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 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.
4. Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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 some charity that believes in Me and
they will make the delivery for you.
9. 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.
P.S. 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 you love and, remember, I love you.
