Jesus' Christmas Wish List

Dear Children,

It has come to my attention that many of you

are upset that folks are taking My name out

of the season. Maybe you've forgotten that

I wasn't actually born during this time of

the year and that it was some of your

predecessors who decided to celebrate

My birthday on what was actually a time

of pagan festival. Although I do appreciate

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 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 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, 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 George 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 NO TO ABUSE 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.

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 whom you

love and remember :

I LOVE YOU, JESUS
