WHOSE Birthday Is ~ CHRISTMAS?

WHEN SHEA & SHAUN WERE TWO AND THREE

I ASKED SHEA THE QUESTION ~

"WHOSE BIRTHDAY IS CHRISTMAS?"

AND SHE STARTED JUMPING! UP

AND DOWN! THOSE BROWN EYES SHINING! AND

SAYING "OTHERMAMA ~ I KNOW "FOR SURE!"

"SANTA CLAUS!!!!!"

I SAID ~ with a hug ~

"Oh no, no, no ~ Although ~ He gives a great

HO ~ HO ~ HO!!!

Remember your Sunday School lesson?

The Bible tells about ~ a Baby! ~

He was born on Christmas Day!

a beautiful! wonderful baby boy!

And Mary called Him ~ JESUS!

Bcause ~ He's GOD'S OWN SON!

GOD'S ONLY BEGOTTEN SON!

AND HE CAME TO SAVE US!

E V E R Y O N E!!!!!!!

( As I walked away...I heard Shea telling Shaun

~ Whose Birthday Is Christmas? ~ and

He did as she had done!!! ~ saying

SANTA CLAUS!!!!!!!

And she said what I had said!

And went on telling about the birth of Jesus!." ~ (Of course ~

I'm still "smiling" whenever I remember all this ~

and ~ May their children ~ share this story with

their own children!

FOR THIS IS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!! )
