IF.......

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........

That the whole world would be reconciled to Jesus!

1) a spirit of love and compassion to come over the world. The kind of compassion that would force us to consider others needs to be more important than our own.

2) an end to hunger, abuse, disease, meanness and all the other rotten things that the devil and sin brought into our world with the fall.

3) people all over the world to know who Jesus is and what He has done for them.

Those are my three dream wishes.

Now if I can't have those, then I'll just settle for:

1) enough money to pay off all our bills including our mortgage and to send both of our sons to college paid in full

2) I could use a really great vacation - maybe a month or two in the Caribbean. That'd be nice

3) I'd really love a new room built on my house and filled with all of the very latest and greatest in computer equipment and photographic equipment.

So if anyone wants to fill anything on my second list, feel free to PM me. I'll send you my full name and address.

I'm going to leave off the things we will have in heaven....who doesnt yearn for those things, but they are the promise that we all await.

but here on earth?
1. complete healing for my son.
2. An end to the pain I live with every day.
3. That we could all re-find that sense of wonder my 4 year old has.

Those are good choices, Ferd.

I think we'd all take #1 along with you

In fact, I think that that would be plenty of gift. We wouldn't need anything else at all.

I am believing that #1 is already done.
#2 is I believe is on it's way, & we both are working at # 3!

After Ferd's list, my wants are insignificant.

WHAT? You can't help me with my last 3 list? Gee whiz, I thought you could at least take up a collection and get me one of them!

- That the Lord would return (and come down my chimney) and take me away with Him!

- That another Great Awakening would come to this world, and people would turn toward Christ, abandoning the culture of materialism and selfishness that we battle.

- Oh, and a brand-new Pioneer in-dash Satellite Radio/Apple iPod/CD Player/GPS receiver for my truck!
