[JOYnet] Christmas
The True Meaning of Christmas It's just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no identification, no inscription. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years or so. It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas---oh, not the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it --overspending...the frantic running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and the dusting powder for Grandma---the gifts given in desperation because you couldn't think of anything else. Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so forth. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way. Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a non-league match against a team sponsored by an inner-city church. These youngsters, dressed in sneakers so ragged that shoestrings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, presented a sharp contrast to our boys in their spiffy blue and gold uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes. As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler's ears. It was a luxury the ragtag team obviously could not afford. Well, we ended up walloping them. We took every weight class. And as each of their boys got up from the mat, he swaggered around in his tatters with false bravado, a kind of street pride that couldn't acknowledge defeat. Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, I wish just one of them could have won, he said. They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them. Mike loved kids -- all kids -- and he knew them, having coached little league football, baseball and lacrosse. That's when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought an assortment of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously to the inner-city church. On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and in succeeding years. For each Christmas, I followed the tradition---one year sending a group of mentally handicapped youngsters to a hockey game, another year a check to a pair of elderly brothers whose home had burned to the ground the week before Christmas, and on and on. The envelope became the highlight of our Christmas. It was always the last thing opened on Christmas morning and our children, ignoring their new toys, would stand with wide-eyed anticipation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents. As the children grew, the toys gave way to more practical presents, but the envelope never lost its allure. The story doesn't end there. You see, we lost Mike last year due to cancer. When Christmas rolled around, I was still so wrapped in grief that I barely got the tree up. But Christmas Eve found me placing an envelope on the tree, and in the morning, it was joined by three more. Each of our children, unbeknownst to the others, had placed an envelope on the tree for their dad. The tradition has grown and someday will expand even further with our grandchildren standing around the tree with wide-eyed anticipation watching as their fathers take down the envelope. Mike's spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us. May we all remember Christ, who is the reason for the season, and the true Christmas spirit this year and always Jento http://www.netmails.com/members/daje/ _ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 3 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmailxAPID=42PS=47575PI=7324DI=7474SU= http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsgHL=1216hotmailtaglines_smartspamprotection_3mf === This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Re: [prayernet] from Francis Felix - Untruth?
Dear Francis all Joynetters, This is not a good tendency to put forward the personal revelation and insight in Joynet or prayernet, that its ultimate effect shall be devastating. We are not the one who can make such a comment that Islam is untruth. Even Church didn't tell that any religion is untruth. We know that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. We are called to propagate this and to proclaim Jesus is the only Savior, Lord and Messiah. But it shall be in such a way that, as Jesus taught, by loving others, without hurting others feelings, by listening to them carefully and not by arguing or making a statement that yours is untruth mine, truth. Please remember that, TO WIN AN ARGUMENT IS LOOSING ONE SOUL. We are not eligible to judge others. Thank God that Francis, You have not pasted your message on the website. Have you consulted with Jesus again, or with your elder or with your Pastor regarding your message? Do not consider this as an argument and am no way intented to make this as an issue. But as somebody (I'm really sorry, I do not remember his/her name) told, before pasting anything in Joynet or in Prayernet we should pray. With Lots of Love prayers in Jesus Prejomy Jose Abu Dhabi From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [prayernet] [Prayer Board] from Francis Felix Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2002 00:56:58 -0600 Name : Francis Felix Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Time : 27 Dec 2002 00:56 Subject : Message Board not yet available I prayed to Jesus Christ the Lord GOD Almighty to make the Message Board become available for me to put a New Message to tell that : ISLAM is UnTRUTH But the Message Board is still not available.So I have written in the Guest Book and leave it for the Power of His Holy Spirit to fulfill my aims for His Glory.
