Your Birthday	Tex78	12/02/05
Dear Lord Jesus, as the time approaches, once again, to celebrate your birthday. Some will gather once again in your house to worship. They will feel much love. Some will gather at the homes of friends and family, around cozy fireplaces. Some will eat a little too much. They will buy each other many gifts, which are not needed. Some will sing praise songs to you and they will feel much love. All will be filled physically, spiritually, or both. But sadly, many will not gather in your house, to honor and worship you, nor will they gather with family. For they have no family. They will not eat too much, and some will not eat at all. They will not buy things they do not need, or even those they do need. Some will not feel warmth, for they will have no fire. They will not feel love, for they have no family or friends to love them. Dear Lord Jesus, how do I convince them that they have you, and that you love them so much? Yes Lord, I know that you will be there waiting, and that you love them anyway. Amen. Thank you Father, for Your revelations

Thank you for the gently and proper reminder of the "downside" of the season; namely, those for whom it's just another day of fighting for survival and struggling to merely exist. I think I shall print that out and take it with me Sunday morning so that I may share it with more people. As for me, may I never get so caught up in the celebration of Jesus, love, and family that I forget there are those who have none of the three. Thanks, DK
