Just Say It - And Make My Day!!!
Chapter 6
*A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
"Mom and Dad, it has really helped the way you explained things and helped us to understand. There is still some things happening now, and this is a tough question to ask. At school, we are now told and even shown that there is not just a man and a woman, but people called homosexuals, transgender --well you know. They want to live their life their way and get upset if others don't let them."
"This too, can be explained and it all goes back to a human needing to know that they are loved.
God did create man and woman and the two marry to become as one. But, what happens when the child in the womb, or children growing up have parents that are angry and hurt by life. Because these parents were raised not knowing love, the parents can be mean and cruel to their children. Then that child wanting a mom or dad to love them; because they did not get love from either mom or dad---they will grow up looking for another mom or dad to love them. So, a man is attracted to a 'father figure' or another man, and a woman seeks a 'mom' or another woman, to give her that love she longs for. To me this is the only understanding that explains why people struggle with their true identity. They are searching for love and acceptance and hope they will find it.
This is why there is many behaviors that are not a part of God's design that are so strong in this world. People who do not know love or are loved, are angry and rebell in many different ways.
There are people too, who are so unhappy with who they are because, they believe this. I must not be made right and and so want to be another person. They believe, I would be more desireable if I changed my appearance in whatever way they feel they must do."
"And no, you cannot have pink, blue or green hair--remember God designed you perfectly!! This remark has the children all laughing.
"God created each of us for a purpose, a reason and has a plan for out lives. But if the person does not Know about God or God's love for them, they are very unhappy with who they are, for they desperately want to know love."
This is why we are told not to judge for only God knows the heart and is the judge. We accept the sinner but not the sin--we are told. We are also given that last command from Jesus. "Love as I have loved you." Oh, it is not the hugging and kissing that is the only way of saying "I love you," but the serving and helping, the understanding and being kind. That type of love is the best gift the best Love of all. To willing give of yourself and serve and help others. This is why we too need the Holy Spirit in our lives---so Wisdom, Understanding, Knowedge of why are His gifts to be desired everyday!
And remember my child--only a man and a woman, a husband and a wife can be given the grace to create an awesome, one of a kind YOU!" We are so thankful God sent you to this earth!"
"Me too! Oh, one more question folks. Is there really a Santa Claus?"
"Ho, ho, ho--oh yes there is---for Santa Claus is Saint Nicolas as he was first known. Everyone who live in love, lives in God forever. So, Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus is very alive, very real and sees who is naughty and nice! He makes sure that all children who believe in him, and believe in love and hear and obey: Well as God promises, we receive all our heart's desire. So, what are you going to do my children? Believe so Santa will come as he always does?
Then let us keep on being nice, living in all the ways to love. When we love as God loves---Love, or another name for God ---is always by our side, and in Him, we live and have our being ---forever! And as Santa would call out as he drives out of sight,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!
