BABY JESUS - DAY 25

Hawkins, TX

Today is the day we celebrate the birth of my Savior, Jesus Christ.

Yesterday afternoon someone stole my phone, charger and gifts my sister gave me while I was visiting her out of my car as we unloaded it at my parents house. Christmas, to me, isn't about all the stuff you get but about the real reason we celebrate and because of the theft, I realized how blessed I am. All those things can be replaced but my family and friends cannot. For them I am thankful. For the gift of the Son of God, that is something no one can take from me.

God forgives us so why should I not forgive the one that took things that did not belong to him?
So, I forgive whoever it was and hope it was something they needed more than I.

It's terrible that anyone would be so mean to steal Christmas gifts but I'm glad
that you didn't let it spoil your day.

Oh I'm sorry about the phone and gifts, but I'm glad you are resolved to forgive. That is the real meaning of Christmas.

I´m sorry to read your lines , it´s a shame that on a day like this, to be confronted with theft, where everybody should be in peace with eachother! This is the reason Jesus was born and died! Good luck and be careful!

Oh Cindi - that is very upsetting, but when you put it like that, we have a gift worth more than a mobile phone, which, as you say can be replaced... My prayer is that God will bless you
Numbers 6:25 ..."the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you."

to many awful things happen at the moment to you Cindi!
It shouldn't be like that, it is really criminal!!!
I wish you for the coming year lots and lots of luck!!!
