Dear Loved Ones
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
There Were Many, Many Beautifully Wrapped Gifts
But Do You Want To Know Something?
I Wasn't Invited
I Was The Guest Of Honor
But 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
I Wanted To Be With Them And Share Their Table
In Truth, That Didn't Surprise Me
Because In The Last Few Years All Had Closed 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 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 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
I Will 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
