Remember My Birthday????!!!!!!

Remember My Birthday????!!!!!!
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 was not 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 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 his honor !
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 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 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 you 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 invitation,
will
be left outside.
Do you know how you can answer this invitation? it is by extending it to
others whom you care for...
I'll be waiting for all of you to attend my party this year...
See you soon .... I love you !
