Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

I know you have to be surprised to hear from me but I wanted to tell you what I want for Christmas.

Of course I don't need any toys, I have the sun, moon and clouds to entertain me. And on special days I bring out my rainbows to share with all that I love.

I don't need food to eat because my plate is always full with the goodness of man;

I don't need water to drink because my thirst is quenched with each raindrop from Heaven;

I don't need clothes because I am wrapped in my Father's love;

I don't need food because my hunger is for all my children to have food instead;

I don't need a house to call home because I am in my Father's house preparing a place for all that love Him;

I don't need furniture because I don't sit down often. I have too much to do and when I do sit, I just find a fluffy cloud and rest;

I don't need transportation because I can be anywhere I want by floating on a gentle breeze;

I don't need money because I paid the price when I hung on the cross.

But dear Santa what I do need is for all my children to know who I am.

I don't mind your giving them presents especially the little ones, I love to see the sparkle in their eyes and the smile on their faces. I love the special things you do for all my children.

But Santa, the one thing I need most from you is to make my children understand the reason we celebrate this holiday. It's not for all the things they can get, but for all the things they can give. Like their time, their hearts and most especially their love. A helping hand held out to someone who has fallen or a meal for someone who is hungry.

Don't tell them it is my birthday; just tell them that this is one day a year to celebrate the reason for being created and for living. So that one day they can come home to Our Father and Me where their every desire will be fulfilled and all their dreams will come true.

Thank you Santa and I will clear a path across My skies for your Christmas Eve run. Give my love to your lovely wife and your reindeer.

Jesus
