A Christian sent me this
Hey Folks,
I am not religious and personally don't believe in God, but I respect people who practice a religion of "good will" (a term appearing on many Christmas cards). Jimmy Carter, I believe, is a good example of a Christian of good will.
I'd bet, too, that Jimmy already knows and practices the recommendations made in this letter (sent to me on the net).

A letter from God to His children:
Dear Children,
It has come to my attention that many of you
are upset that folks are taking My name out of
the season. Maybe you've forgotten that I
wasn't actually born during this time of the
year and that it was some of your predecessors
who decided to celebrate My birthday on what
was actually a time of pagan festival. Although
I do appreciate being remembered anytime.
How I personally feel about this celebration
can probably be most easily understood by those
of you who have been blessed with children
of your own. I don't care what you call the day.
If you want to celebrate My birth just, GET
ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Now,
having said that let Me go on.
If it bothers you that the town in which you live
doesn't allow a scene depicting My birth, then
just get rid of a couple of Santas and snowmen
and put in a small Nativity scene on your
own front lawn. If all My followers did that
there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on
the town square because there would be many
of them all around town.
Stop worrying about the fact that people
are calling the tree a holiday tree, instead of
a Christmas tree. It was I who made all
trees. You can & may remember Me anytime
you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you
wish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching
explaining who I am in relation to you & what
each of our tasks were.If you have forgot that
one, look up John 15: 1 - 8.
If you want to give Me a present in remembrance
of My birth here is my wish list. Choose
something from it.
1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting
to the way My birthday is being celebrated, write
letters of love and hope to soldiers away from
home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this
time of year. I know, they tell Me all the time.
2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don't
have to know them personally. They just need
to know that someone cares about them.
3. Instead of writing George complaining about
the wording on the cards his staff sent out this
year, why don't you write and tell him that
you'll be praying for him and his family this
year. Then follow up. It will be nice hearing from
you again.
4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts
you can't afford and they don't need, spend time
with them. Tell them the story of My birth, and
why I came to live with you down here. Hold
them in your arms and remind them that I love them.
5. Pick someone that has hurt you in the past
and forgive him or her.
6. Did you know that someone in your town will
attempt to take their own life this season because
they feel so alone and hopeless? Since you don't
know who that person is, try giving everyone you
meet a warm smile. It could make the difference.
Also, you might consider supporting the local
Hot-Line: they talk with people like that every day.
7. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in
your town calls the holiday, be patient with the
people who work there. Give them a warm smile
and a kind word. Even if they aren't allowed to
wish you a "Merry Christmas" that doesn't keep
you from wishing them one. Then stop shopping
there on Sunday. If the store didn't make so much
money on that day they'd close and let their
employees spend the day at home with their families.
8. If you really want to make a difference, support
a missionary, especially one who takes My love &
Good News to those who have never heard My name.
You may already know someone like that.
9. Here's a good one. There are individuals &
whole families in your town who not only will have
no "Christmas" tree, but neither will they have any
presents to give or receive. If you don't know them
(and I suspect you don't) buy some food & a few
gifts & give them to the Marines, the Salvation
Army or some other charity that believes in Me &
they will make the delivery for you.
10. Finally if you want to make a statement about
your belief in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a
Christian. Don't do things in secret that you wouldn't
do in My presence. Let people know by your
actions that you are one of mine.
P.S. Don't forget; I am God and can take care of
Myself. Just love Me & do what I have told you to do.
I'll take care of all the rest. Check out the list above
& get to work; time is short. I'll help you, but the ball
is now in your court. And do have a most blessed
Christmas with all those whom you love and
remember, I LOVE YOU.
God
