Do you remember me on my birthday.

[Guest guest]

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every yearthere 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 thatmy 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 ofall 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, assortednuts 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 was not invited, I decided to enter the party without making anynoise. I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there weresome who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything.

 

They were having a great 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 hishonor !

 

At 12 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 byone with great expectation. When all had been opened, I lookedto see if, maybe, there was one for me. What would you feel if onyour 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 to eat and drink, the

 

gifts, the parties 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 reservationfor 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 whodon't answer the invitation, will be left outside. Do you know how you

 

can answer this invitation? it is by extending it to others whom youcare for... I'll be waiting for all of you to attend my party this year...

 

See you soon .... I love you! Jesus
