Cute Xmas Images: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
"Five more days till Christmas. Santa and his crew were working overtime making children's dreams come true. Singing carols, whistling tunes, as the hours ticked away, except for little Edison, the elf that went astray. Instead of making toys in Santa's assembly line, he was hanging out with Rudolph beneath the snow capped pines. As Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus took a look around, they noticed lazy Edison was nowhere to be found. They decided they'd had enough; this elf will surely be fired. Scratched their heads and realized another must be hired. Dasher heard them talking and thought this can't be so. Never in elf's history has someone had to go. He searched the winter wonderland, and under the Northern Lights Edison and Rudolph were frolicking in flight. He said, "Come down from there; your behavior's a disgrace. Christmas Eve is almost here and you're about to be replaced." Edison soon realized his days of slacking were done, that there'd be consequences for goofing off and having fun. He knew he had no place to go if Santa didn't let him stay. His heart began to pound as Rudolph ran away. He hurried as fast as he could to tell Santa he was wrong, beg him for forgiveness and show him he belonged. As the other elves were caroling, he tried to sneak inside, but Santa saw him coming out of the corner of his eye. He placed his hands upon his hips and firmly shook his head, "What shall I do with you, my elf?" Santa firmly said. "I see you when you're sleeping. I know when you're awake. Did you not read your history book?" he said for goodness sake! Santa soon forgave him 'cause his heart is made of gold, and Edison became the hardest worker I am told. The moral of this story is we all must do our part, and jolly old St. Nick has always had a heart. Merry Christmas to all of you on this holiest of days. May all your dreams come true as you gather and celebrate."
“The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.”
