A woman was asked by a coworker,
"What is it like to be a Christian?"
The coworker replied, "It is like being a
pumpkin." God picks you from
the patch, brings you in, and washes all the
dirt off of you. Then He
cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky
stuff.

The Legend of the Christmas Kiss
by Barbie Jenkins
Once upon a winter's day, on a brisk December morn, news traveled through the heavenly world that Jesus Christ was born. The angels gathered, peering down.
What should their present be? A gift to bless the baby boy, for all the world to see.
Among the happy angel crowd, a little one found her place. She closed her eyes and said aloud, "I wish to kiss His face!"
She puckered up and kissed her hand, then gave a gentle blow, sending a kiss to Baby Jesus, down to earth below.
Something special happened that no one did expect: as the kiss passed through the fluffy clouds, it became a glistening speck.
It drifted down beneath the clouds, down where the baby lay. It swirled and twirled and tumbled 'round, then on His cheek it stayed.
All of heaven grew quiet and still; the angels' breaths held tight. They'd never sent an angel kiss in the middle of the night. The little angel who sent the gift peeked with just one eye until she saw a smiling baby reaching toward the sky.
All the angels clapped and cheered at the miracle that was done! And they puckered up with heavenly kisses, each and every one.
Some kisses were large and sloppy, and some were rather wet. Some were small and very dainty, from just a little peck.
Yes, heaven set its love, in the form of angel kisses. Some landed on the tiny child, but there were lots of misses.
Sparkling specks fell from the sky all day and through the night. They didn't stop 'til morning came and everything was white.
"I wonder what the people think?" said the little angel child. "Come look," smiled the older angel, "They're going rather wild."
The children of earth laughed and played in the wonderland so white, throwing 'round the angel kisses they'd packed, oh, so tight.
Smiles were on their faces as they built a man of snow. Children shouted to their friends, "Hey, look out below!"
The little angel glowed with pride, seeing the children filled with bliss. "And just think," the older angel said, "It all started with your kiss."

One day at a time,
with its failures and fears,
With its hurts and mistakes,
with its weakness and tears,
With its portion of pain
and its burden of care;
One day at a time
we must meet and must bear.
One day at a time
to be patient and strong,
To be calm under trial
and sweet under wrong;
when its toiling shall pass
and its sorrow shall cease;
It shall darken and die,
and the night shall bring peace.
One day at a time -
but the day is so long,
And the heart is not brave,
and the soul is not strong,
0 Thou pitiful Christ,
be Thou near all the way;
Give courage and patience
and strength for the day.
Swift cometh His answer,
so clear and so sweet:
"Yea, I will be with thee,
thy troubles to meet;
I will not forget thee,
nor fail thee, nor grieve;
I will not forsake thee;
I never will leave."
Not yesterday's load
we are called on to bear,
Nor the morrow's uncertain
and shadowy care;
Why should we look forward
or back with dismay?
Our needs, as our mercies,
are but for the day.
One day at a time,
and the day is His day;
He hath numbered its hours,
though they haste or delay.
His grace is sufficient;
we walk not alone;
As the day, so the strength
that He giveth His own.

As we remove the wrapping from our Christmas gifts this year, let's remember that Christ was also wrapped. He was God wrapped in human flesh in order to walk among us and to reveal the Father to us. We wrap gifts to create anticipation and excitement. We want to see our loved ones faces when they open the package because we already know what they need or want is inside. And so it is with our heavenly Father. He wants us to see the living God in human flesh, a gift that will bring unspeakable joy.
Jesus Christ is the only gift you can give away and still never lose. Once you give away money, clothes and jewelry, they're gone. But the truth is...the more Christ you give away, the more of Him you can experience and enjoy. Jesus is the eternal gift of God. You can't lose Him, and no one can take Him away. He's the only thing you have that is absolutely, eternally yours.
My prayer is that, as you celebrate this Christmas season, you will remember Jesus as the greatest, most precious gift you have ever been given. Celebrate Him, and give Him away as much as you can. If you do, you'll experience a most joyful and meaningful Christmas.

Dear Children,
It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season. Maybe you've forgotten that I wasn't actually born during this time of the year and that it was some of your predecessors who decided to celebrate My birthday on what was actually a time of pagan festival. Although I do appreciate being remembered anytime.
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 My birth, just GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
Now, having said that let Me go on. If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a scene depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santas and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn. If all My followers did that there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on the town square because there would be many of them 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 trees. You can remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you wish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching, explaining who I am in relation to you and what each of our tasks were. If you have forgotten that one, look up John 15: 1 - 8.
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 George 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 .
JESUS
