Subject: [Chihuahuas] Birthday Invitation
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 !

Pray for Our Leaders
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in
authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and
honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who
will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:1-4 KJV

Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior, and my hope
is in you all day long.
