<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: bookman old style, new york, times, serif;">Thursday, December 23, 2010</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: medium; color: #00007f; font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;"><em><strong>For <strong>unto</strong> you <strong>is</strong> <strong>born</strong> this day in the city of David a Saviour, which <strong>is</strong> Christ the Lord. <br />

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large; color: #c00000;"><strong>The BEST Gift Ever Given</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large; color: #c00000;"><strong></strong><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: bookman old style, new york, times, serif;">  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: bookman old style, new york, times, serif;">Good Afternoon Beloved, </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: bookman old style, new york, times, serif;">This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!  Now let me start off by saying, I don&#8217;t have a clue when Jesus was actually born&#8230; alls I know is.. He was born and I&#8217;m glad about that, how &#8217;bout you! <img src="http://mail.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/04.gif" alt="" />  I celebrate not that He was born on December 25th, but that He was born.  God sent His love gift into the world to ransom sinful humanity back to Himself.  Now some people have a problem with being called sinners.  I heard one lady <em><span style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;">(who claims to have been a Christian at one time, but was enlightened by her &#8220;goddess&#8221;)</span></em> lamenting on facebook that <span style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;"><em>&#8220;it seemed everything was a sin</em></span><span style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;">&#8220;</span>, and <em><span style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;">&#8220;that its only bad cuz we say so&#8221; </span></em>and that her goddess let her do everything by <em><span style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;">&#8220;trial and error&#8221;</span></em> .  Sooo, alrighty then.. ummmph.. wonder how that&#8217;s working for her.  (Heavy sigh) Sin is sin no matter what we call it.  It has been judged by The Judge and the penalty was death. That is the significance of the &#8220;Christmas Event&#8221;.  Jesus was born to die for the sins of humanity.  His love is so wide you can&#8217;t get around it, so deep you can drown in it, don&#8217;t worry, if you allow Him to breathe into you, you won&#8217;t die, you&#8217;ll have new life. His love is so high you can&#8217;t get over it, just let Him pull you up to where He is so that you can see from His vantage point.  Yes, I celebrate the baby that was born to a virgin, betrothed to a carpenter.  I honor Him and love Him completely.  God gave me a precious gift.  On December 25, 1988, He gave me a beautiful little bundle of joy I named &#8220;Jah&#8221;.  She has been the joy of my life.  Beautiful inside and out.  Precious and sweet.  I would not give her life for &#8220;good&#8221; and &#8220;wonderful&#8221; people, so you know, giving her up to save scoundrels is totally out.  They would just have to perish, BUT God&#8230; He sent His best, the one and only&#8230; King of all Kings, Lord of all Lords, Sovereign and Master of the Universe to be that bridge linking humanity back to Himself!  Hallelujah!</span></p>

<p align="left"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Tahoma;">Happy Monday!&#8230;. wow!  Some winter welcome we received today huh DC/Metro?&#8230;. 17 bone-chilling, Hawk-biting degrees!  When I think about this season, I am reminded of the truth found in John 3:16, <span style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;"><span style="color: #00007f;"><strong>&#8220;<em>for God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believe in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.&#8221;&#8230;</em></strong></span></span> That is probably one of the first scriptures most of us learned.  Jesus&#8230;. the gift that keeps on giving.  This gift will never get old.  It will never tear, break, or tarnish.  It can&#8217;t be lost, stolen, foreclosed on or repossessed.  It will never be too small, too big or go out of style.  God is the same today, yesterday and forevermore.  His gift of Love will keep us all the days of our life and when our days on earth are complete, this gift of love will usher us past angelic hosts into the very presence of the God of all for a great reward.</span></p>

<div><span class="yshortcuts" style="background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; cursor: hand; border-bottom: medium none;">Good Morning</span> Beloved,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As I was thinking about you today, I had this thought.  &#8220;You are a gift, don&#8217;t be afraid to unwrap yourself to someone today&#8221;.  Somebody needs what you have.  Somebody has a sorrowful spirit and your silly personality is just what they need.  Somebody may be just about to go over the edge, and God has you strategically placed to speak into their life.  You carry a powerful anointing, whether or not you know it.  The power of life and death resides in your tongue.  That is why we must be careful what we say.  I remember an old co-worker.  Many may remember &#8221;Ms. Joyce&#8221;.  She passed away a while back, but Ms. Joyce was quite a character.  She was an older lady, and had a mouth that would make a sailor blush.  She was rough and never bit her tongue.  Her <span id="lw_1219334114_1" class="yshortcuts">sense of humor</span> could be crass and hurtful.  Her favorite address to me was, &#8220;big girl&#8221;.   I loved Ms. Joyce and she knew it.  I determined that no matter what she said or did, I would show love to her.  I believe she was testing me.  I discovered in talking with her, that her experience with Christians was not good.  <span id="lw_1219334114_2" class="yshortcuts" style="background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; cursor: hand; border-bottom: medium none;">The Christians</span> she knew from childhood on, were in her own words &#8220;hypocrites&#8221; and she thought they were all fake.  So I was her guinney pig.  She wanted to see if what I said, lined up with how I lived.  She watched and she watched.  Finally, she paid me the highest compliment ever.  She said, &#8220;Baby, I love you.  You are just sweet&#8221;.  She used to always tell me that she believed she was <span id="lw_1219334114_3" class="yshortcuts">going to hell</span>.  I always told her that God loved her and she didn&#8217;t have to.  She left our company, and we lost touch with her.  We were told that she passed.  I pray she made it.  We knew she was sick, but no one expected her to go so quickly.  It makes me know that, time is precious and not to put off for tomorrow, what should be done today.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>U Blessed,</div>
<div>Have A Fabulous Day!</div>
