My Birthday



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 the
reason for the celebration.
Family and friends get together and have a
lot of fun, but they don't know
the meaning of the celebration.

I 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


May you always be covered in God's pure Love! Merry Christmas Everyone!!
