It's Jesus' Birthday!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Think about this . . . .

I want a pony, I want a bicycle, I want my bills paid, I want a maid!
So many people at Christmas use the phrase "I want" instead of "what can I give". What if a little girl helped another little girl ride a pony for the first time. and what if a little boy gave his bicycle to another little boy who didn't have one? What if a man paid for heat to be turned on for his neighbours who can't afford it. And what if a women went to an elderly woman's home and cleaned it?

And what if all these people didn't wait for Christmas to do these things but they did them all year long. Would it change anything? Would it make a difference?

Well, let's see . . . God saw that the world was in need so instead of saying "I want", He gave the most precious thing He could give . . . His ONLY son, Jesus.

Jesus spent 33 years on this earth. He laughed with his friends, he played with children, he healed the sick, he raised the dead, and he told us about his Father. Then God's ONLY son, died - why? to save us. Then three days later he rose so we would be able to serve a LIVING SAVIOUR. God gave us His ONLY son. Did that change the world - You better believe it! If God did all that for us - the "I wants" of this world don't seem that important, but the "What can I gives" can change the world!

Cool!
Happy New Year Everyone!
