Why Jesus is better than Santa :)

WOOOOHOOOO! I got my new phone this morning! FINALLY!! This was the first chance I got to do so. I got a Sprint Instinct (Sprint's version of the IPhone and the Dare). They were able to salvage my contacts and some of my pictures. My family pictures did not make it, but all my other pictures did. (so, Bucky, Cole, and Bo are still there). I love my new phone already and I have only had it a few hours! (raving to be continued!)

I spoke with a few friends and heard that I made it out of our airport at the perfect time because they had another snowstorm after I left! I also hear that the weather is single digit (with windchill below zero -- OUCH). So, today, the weather here in Atlanta is 55 and everyone is wearing coats and gloves LOL. I am wearing a sweater and loving it!

I am celebrating my first part of Christmas today and I will be visiting several family members and friends during the next week or so.

It's Christmas time and everyone here (as in Dallas) says Merry Christmas! Which I Love!! So, it really shares the Christmas spirit!

I received this in my email and had to share it today :)



REMEMBER:

Jesus is Better than Santa

Santa lives at the North Pole.

JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh

JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year

JESUS is an ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies

JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited

JESUS stands at your door and knocks..

And then enters your heart.

You have to stand in line to see Santa

JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap

JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is

"Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"

JESUS knew our name before we did.

Not only does He know our name,

He knows our address too.

He knows our history and future and He

even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly

JESUS has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO

JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says "You better not cry"

JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me

for I care for you.

Santa's little helpers make toys

JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts,

repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle but

JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree

JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.

It's obvious there is really no comparison.

We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.

We need to put Christ back in Christmas.



Jesus is still the reason for the season.

May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and

your loved ones this Christmas 2008

And may He prosper and bless the work

of your hands in the New Year.
