This is a letter to remind you of the real reason for Christmas, and I hope it touches your heart. Remember what it is really for!
Dear loved ones,
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, 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 thereason for the
celebration. Family and friends get together and have
a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the
celebration.
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 wasn't 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 grand 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 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. 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 your heart.
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 invite, will be left outside. Be
prepared because when all is ready you will be part of
my great party.
See you soon.
I Love you!
Jesus
