BEST GIFT EVER

If you have read my last post you would know how special the Holidays/Holy-days
are to me. One thing I find is that ever since my decision to follow and serve
the Lord every Christmas time which I consider to be my spiritual Birthday I
receive a gift from Jesus. As if Jesus had to do anything else for me then
the gift of salvation which he paid for with his life. Every holiday time
something special happens. This year my Christmas gift from Jesus is.....
well let me start from the beginning.

My Mother and Father divorced when I was about 11, blah, blah, blah,and
He remarried. When I was 18 I was about to walk down the aisle myself,
young and in love. I desired to have my Father walk me down the aisle,
my first obstacle, Where is he? It seemed that when he divorced my Mom he
also divorced me and my brother along with it. Long story short, I found him
and when I did I met his present wife and their brand new baby girl. The conversation went something like this; I'm glad I found you (but why did you
abandon me)I would be honored if you walk me down the aisle (why did I have to
search for you). So our conversation was a jumble of emotional rantings with the
end result being, we were glad to see each other and yes He will walk me down the aisle. Through all that my Baby sister was smiling at me and reaching her little hands towards me and trying to connect with me in her beautiful little innocent
way.

My Father did walk me down the aisle, the wedding was nice and he disappeared again. I can deal with him not wanting to be a part of my life,I got use to it; but I
never forgot my little Sister and for years wondered. How is she, is she OK,
does she need a big Sister. Lord I pray that you watch over her, may abandonment
and disappointment not touch her life.

And here it goes.....my Christmas gift this year from Jesus is that I found my
Sister on all places MySpace. She of course grew up not really knowing about
me, so I had to ask her questions and feed her information about me so she can
verify it. All our communication has thus far been through myspace. She was able
to confirm the info I gave her and she wrote back to me SISTERS.....you found me. Those were the happiest words I've ever read. It took over thirty years but we
found each other. We went to the next step, phone call and now we are looking forward to an actual meeting. Thank you Jesus.

Christmas, It is the Lords day, but I am the one that receives the best gifts.
hank you Jesus, Happy Birthday.
