Letter from God
to His Children
This Holiday Season

Dear Children,

It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that people are taking My Son's name out of the season. Maybe you've forgotten that I didn’t send my Son in December, it was some of your ancestors who decided to celebrate My Son's birthday at what was, in ancient times, a pagan festival; although, I do appreciate Jesus being remembered...at anytime in the year.

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 Jesus' birth just,

GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a community nativity scene depicting My Son's birth, then make room for the nativity scene on your own front lawn. If all my followers did that, there wouldn't be any need for such a scene in the town square because there would be so many nativity scenes 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 the trees. You can remember me anytime you see a tree.

Instead of fusing over trimmings and traditions, consider giving My Son one or more of these gifts below this Christmas…

1. Instead of writing protest letters to all and sundry objecting to the way My Son’s birthday is being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers away from home on active service. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. I know, because 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 through you that I care about them.

3. Rather than giving your children a lot of gifts you can't afford and they don't really need, spend more quality time with them. Tell them the story of My birth and why I came to live with you here on earth. Hold them in your arms and remind them that they are loved by Me.

4. Think of someone who’s hurt you in the past; forgive them, and give them the gift of a future—free from the pain, shame, and guilt of yesterday’s mistakes.

5. 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, a comforting word, it could make such a difference. Also, you might consider becoming involved with local support groups: they talk with people with problems every day. A Christian perspective will make a difference.

6. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls the holiday season, be patient and kind with the people who work there. Take time to give them a smile and an encouraging word. Even if they aren't allowed to wish you a "Merry Christmas" that doesn't keep you from wishing them one.

7. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary materially and prayerfully, especially one who takes My love and Good News to those who have never heard of My name. You may already know someone like that.

8. Here's a good one. There are individuals and families in your town who will not only have no “Christmas" tree, but neither will they have any presents to give or receive. Be sensitive to the needs of others. A few cans of food or a simple gift or an invitation to a meal at your home can go along way towards spreading the true meaning of Christmas.

9. Finally if you want to make a statement about your belief in 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 a child of mine.

Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Please, if you love me, love my children—all of them, especially the ones that challenge your traditions. I'll take care of all the rest.
Invite others to a Christmas festival that has more to do with eternity than all the trimmings and traditions of December 25th.

“Merry Christmas!” means: “I love you.”

 God
