WHY JESUS IS BETTER THAN SANTA CLAUS Thursday
Posted by: bigguyhereagain <bigguyhereagain@...>
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 when invited.
You have to wait 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 were born. 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 a tree...the
cross.
We need to put Christ back in CHRISTmas, Jesus is
still
the reason for the season.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but
have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

THE FRIEND WHO STANDS BY
When troubles come your soul to try.
you love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there's nothing he or she can do;
the thing is strictly up to you.
For there are troubles all your own,
and paths the soul must tread alone.
Times when love can't smooth the road
nor friendship lift the heavy load.
But just to feel you have a friend
who will stand by until the end.
whose sympathy through all endures;
whose warm handclasp is always yours.
It helps somehow to pull you through,
although there's nothing he or she can do.
And so with fervent heart we cry,
God Bless the friend who just stands by.
