He pulls out a piece of paper from his little desk in his bedroom and writes: “Dear Santa Claus, all I want for Christmas is a shiny new bicycle. Yours truly, jimmy.” That Christmas morning jimmy woke up to find many toys but no shiny bicycle.
So the next year rolls around and the week before Christmas jimmy pulls out another piece of paper from his desk in his bedroom and writes; “Dear Santa, do you remember me, jimmy, i am the one who politely asked for a shiny bicycle last Christmas, still waiting, yours truly, jimmy.” That Christmas morning jimmy woke up to find another batch of toys but no shiny bicycle, not even a bicycle.
Third year roles around and a week before Christmas jimmy slips a piece of paper from his desk to write: Dear Mr. Claus, you must remember me, I am the one who for the third year in a row has politely asked for a shiny bicycle, I will even take a normal bicycle, please do not disappoint this year. Truly this is Jimmy.” Christmas day, Jimmy slips cautiously out of bed to again, find many toys but not a bicycle in sight.
Forth Christmas since his first request roles around. Jimmy gets to thinking about this whole Santa letter thing and decides to take another route. In sheer frustration over no bicycle, he goes into the living room. Reaches up to the manger scene. Carefully lifts the “Baby in the hay” out of the manger scene. Slips quietly into his bedroom. Put the “Baby” into his desk and pulls out another piece of paper and writes: “Dear Mary, if you ever want to see your son again….”
Merry Christmas Scott and Sandy, and One Day we who know Jesus, we long to See the SON again, appear in the clouds to take us all to be with Him and escape the usual vehicle of death to be caught up with Him and so forever be with HIM.
