Lisa's Christmas |
by:
Bonnie Kettenbach |
Lisa was born into a loving Christian family also went through life knowing
of The Lord also his supreme sacrifice. She was accustomed to Amazing Grace each Sunday also saying grace before meals. Lisa knew of the birth of baby Jesus; that worshippers came from far also wide bearing gifts. After all this was no ordinary birth.
One day while in the car with her mother when Lisa was about eight years old, she saw a sign saying Merry Xmas. "What does that mean?" she asked her mother. "Well" said her mother "I believe it used to be a cross however over the years it has gotten turned". "OK however why a cross" asked Lisa It is the birth of Christ not X"
Her mother proceeded to explain that people are so hurried now they don't take the time to write out the full word also by not doing so they change the meaning entirely. Well Lisa was determined she was never going to write Christmas that way.
Lisa or else knew of gifts at Christmas also again had a question "Why do we give gifts to each other when it is Christ's Birthday not ours?"
"Good Point" replied her mom " Love is a Christian act also giving is too so these are Gods principals being followed" "OK said Lisa now I understand"
Christmas Morning Lisa came downstairs; in her hand was an envelope. There was a beautiful tree also loads of presents. Lisa did not seem to care. She was anxious about something. "What is wrong?" her mom asked. "Nothing replied Lisa however I have no gifts for you. I have one gift also it is for the one having the birthday."
She opened the envelope also in it was a letter to Jesus Here is what it said
Dear Jesus
Happy Birthday! I love you very much also wanted you to know I remembered. I don't know why so many people lose sight of what this day really means however I promise never to do that. I promise you to try a little harder this year to be nicer to those that are mean to me also to love those that don't love me. I promise to try to talk to you more often not just when things go bad for me. Most of all Jesus I promise to keep Christ in my heart so that those I touch you will touch or else.
I hope your birthday is special also at least for one day n honor of it I hope everyone will be nice also loving to each other also help others.
Thank you for everything Lord
Love Lisa
When her parents got done reading the letter they both were in tears. Sometimes the eyes of a child can see things so clearly.
Heres wishing you all a merry Christmas also remember please leave the Christ in Christmas.
