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 you're
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
& may 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 & what each of our tasks were. If you have forgot 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 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. Also, you might consider supporting the local
Hot-Line: they talk with people like that every day.
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 & Good News to those who have never
heard My name. You may already know someone like that.
9. Here's a good one. There are individuals & 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 (and I suspect
you don't) buy some food & a few gifts & give them to the Marines, the
Salvation Army or some other charity that believes in Me & 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 &
do what I have told you to do. I'll take care of all the rest. Check out
the list above & 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.

SAVE THE JUDGESHIPS!!
The subject of judicial tyranny was also the topic of Dr. James Dobson’s radio show today. His guest was Judge Charles Pickering, an outstanding jurist whose nomination to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals was “borked” by Senate liberals the last time they held the majority. Needless to say, Judge Pickering has some unique insights on the confirmation process and judicial activism. His conversation with Dr. Dobson will continue tomorrow, so please tune in for this important broadcast. For station listings or to listen online, visit Family.org
