you could have 3 things for Christmas what would they be? Now before you start "rattling" off your lists, lets think about the world and the shape it is in. What's really important to you, anymore?
Hoovie's thread about his daughter and her gift for Jesus really spawned this idea and thread.
My husband and children are the Most Important in the world to me, my decision would affect them so I need to put that into the equation (maybe this thread needs to be for just me)
Let me see......
1. No more violence or evil
2. Peace (the spirit of peace, actually)
3. TRUE LOVE...by that I mean, love that is given absolutely unconditional. Like a love to a child. No matter what they do, they are still your child and that love NEVER goes away. You may not like what they do, but you still love your child, no matter even how bad they hurt you, you still love them.
I think that would be the top 3 things on my list for "SANTA" to bring me.
What say ye??????
( I reserve the right to change mine, if someone comes up with something better than mine........)
#1. Healing in all relationships
#2. A permanent home
#3. ........................
I have many altruistic wishes for the world at large, I know that we all do. However...
My selfish nature rears it's ugly head and I admit that my biggest real wish, is that God would give me the necessary energy and strength to go back to school this coming year while continuing to hold down a full time job. It is completely necessary for me to do this if I am going to be able to adjust to the changes that are coming my way in the next few years, and in my current condition health wise, it doesn't seem possible. So, this is my grown-up Christmas Wish!!
(oh, and a fancy new camera would not be snubbed either...)
More of Jesus.
Lost loved ones to be saved.
Better health for me, and some of my family.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2 KJV
Sad to say, I just don't have any personal ones this year. In fact I am still having a tough time wrapping my brain around the fact that it is the season too be jolly and it caught me unawares. So, You guys can have my wishes:
1 - All FERDS requests
2 - All Sis Alvears
3 - All everyone elses
I do want an iPod touch, but that isn't a wish... I am buying it in the next few days :-)
As for the spiritual ones, those are there at all times I guess.
Try as I might I don't have any grand wishes either. I'd wish for world peace, harmony among Apostolics, and an end to world hunger... but none of that can happen until Christ returns. I guess I could wish that he would return but I think there's still work to do.
So my wishes might sound selfish or carnal. I'm a hopeless romantic. I'd like...
1.) A vacation to a ski resort in the French Alps with my lovely lady
2.) A bottle of fine wine, perhaps a bottle of Chateauneuf-du-Pape
3.) A little romance under the mistletoe in the soft glow of a Christmas tree, with the snow falling silently outside, and Let It Snow playing down low in the background.
