Season Enjoy-
When I received this I read it to the end,, and then I stayed in my seat,
motionless,, speechless...
Didn't we all do what those people did? Just imagine how it felt for
Him.
Please read it and pass it on to people whom you care for so they
don't shut the door again. 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 was not 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 great 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 you heart. Iwant 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 invitation, will be left
outside.
Do you know how you can answer this invitation? It is by extending it to
others whom you care for...
I'll be waiting for all of you to attend my party this year...
See you soon.... I love you !
