Hello Pat !

Thank you for the awesome words of inspiration. I love the pictures and I hope you are almost finished your Christmas shopping - LOL

 

Got this in the mail and I thought it was very interesting:-
what if you receive this letter from Jesus, what would be your reaction?


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 wasn't 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 grand 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 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 the gifts, the  parties, to eat and drink, 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 your heart.

I want 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  invite, will be left outside. Be prepared because when all is ready you  will be part
of my great party.

See you soon. I Love you!  

Jesus

 

    Hi Nick
What a world citizen He was, Jesus.

A friend of mine who is very spiritual, who is clairvoyant, has dreamt sometimes about Jesus. Very vivid dreams with very fine sentiments .He, Jesus is full of humour she says, "stars" in His eyes. His Mother she has met too. She, Maria was a humorous person , practical, down to earth, near to laughter.
I am sure Jesus appreciates what you have said about Him here.

Thank you for always showing such nice cards and pictures
