Letter from Jesus about Christmas

In the spirit of Christmas, I'm posting this heart-warming email that will remind us of what the season is really about. When the value of everything seems to boil down the dollar and cents, this email will remind us that our political-correctness nor our holier-than-thou attitude is being frowned upon. Instead of yapping about what is wrong on others, let start sharing to them what is right.

 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  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 CHRIST

Happyness




Been busy for the past few days months, not that I am complaining, its just that I am kinda overwhelmed and in the process of ironing things out. Anyway, so to my billions millions thousands okay, it is just wishful thinking. To my soon to be followers, *hint *hint, here is my once in a blue moon post. I guess with all the negative things happening around the world, we need a little something to enlighten us, especially this coming holiday season.

Oh, subject of this email is not even connected to the movie of Will Smith, The Pursuit of Happyness. Nor the connected to the book of the same title by Chris Gardner. Though I must say that the movie is very inspiring one. So if you have not watched it, I suggest you do. Otherwise, why not the book instead. =)

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”


“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be”

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”


“To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.”

“We have no right to ask when a sorrow comes, 'Why did this happen to me?' unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way.”

“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.
