> 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 the President 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.
>
> 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 and Good News to those who have never
> heard My name.
>
> 9. Here's a good one. There are individuals and 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, buy some
> food and a few gifts and give them to the Salvation Army or some other
> charity which believes in Me and 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.
>
> Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me and do
> what I have told you to do. I'll take care of all the rest. Check out the
> list above and 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,
