Birthday

Birthdays are wonderful and if you don’t think so just try missing one. When you are a kid, it’s a wonderful time with your friends, the cake and ice cream and the best part of all; the Gifts. But what if all your friends and family all came to gather and no one wished you a Happy Birthday and when they sang Happy Birthday they didn’t put your name in the song. What if everyone bought each other gifts and no one had one for you? I think you might have a question or two like why did you sing Happy Birthday and not use my name! Then someone said “well we didn’t want to offend anyone or hurt someone else’s feelings by doing so.” “Why didn’t you give a gift to me; it was my Birthday?” Someone else replied “we knew it was your birthday but we wanted others to know how much we loved them so we bought them gifts.” You might say that would be just awful if that were to really happen. Have you stopped to think how many treat Christmas? It’s not Merry Christmas but Happy Holidays. We hear songs without the mention of Jesus, Christ, God, Emanuel instead we hear songs talking about Grandma got ran over by a reindeer. I decided to go to the internet and typed in Best Christmas songs and this are some of the titles of the top 40. Country Christmas, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, Run Rudolph Run, Please Come Home For Christmas, Wonderful Christmas time. Whatever happened to Away in a Manger, Joy to the World, God Rest You Merry Gentlemen, O Little Town of Bethlehem , We Three Kings? Christmas time is the time we are to remise about when Jesus our Lord and Savior was born and that He was born to save sinners which we all are.

Matthew 2:1  Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Matthew 2:2  Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Luke 2:7  And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Luke 2:25  And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon;

Luke 2:28  Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

Luke 2: 29  Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

Luke 2:30  For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Hello, it’s not Happy Holidays or anything else it’s Merry Christmas it has always been Merry Christmas and I say Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Jesus! I guess I’m over qualified to work at some places. But that’s ok for LORD YOU'RE THE BEST THING, THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME

YOU BEEN MY FRIEND,FOR SO LONG 

YOU WHERE RIGHT,AND I WAS WRONG 

I CAN'T REPAY,YOU ALL THE LOVE,YOU GIVEN ME 

YOU WHERE MY FRIEND,WHEN NO ONE CARED 

I WAS ALONE,BUT YOU WHERE THERE 

LORD YOU'RE THE BEST THING,THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME 

( Chorus ) 

I OWE IT ALL TO YOU LORD,ALL I HAVE IS YOU LORD 

SO TAKE MY LIFE,MAKE IT WHAT,YOU HAVE IT BE 

FOR I'M YOUR CHILD,AND YOUR MY FATHER 

I'M THE CLAY,AND YOUR THE POTTER 

LORD YOU'RE THE BEST THING,THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME
