Sincere Santa

by

in ,

This Christmas, most of us will get something from a store, wrap it up, put it under a tree and give it to someone. When they open it (whether they actually like the gift or not), they’ll smile and talk about how much they’ve been wanting what we just gave them.

Many of us will buy people gifts and get gifts simply because we expect we’ll get one from the same person. No one ever wants to be the dude/dudet that got a present, but didn’t give one.

Presents are fine.
Gifts are fine.
Santa is fine (but fat).

But,

What I want to know is…

If you could get anything for Christmas this year that can’t be bought in a store, what would it be? (a job, healing, restored relationship, etc…)

  1. For my Grand-mother to accept that Christ is real and for her.

    1. I’ll pray with you on that. Thanks man.

  3. That me and my family would continue to show the love of Christ more on a daily basis.

    1. Great one! Appreciate you sharing, Adam!

  4. I would love for my mother to come to my house for Christmas, although I am sure she is having a blast up there with the big Man.

    1. A lot of people wish for that this time of the year. I’m sure you’re right on that. Who better to spend Christmas with than Christ! :-) Hope it’s a great one for you!

    A new job since I just lost my old one. I’d even take a grunt position at this point, but I’m hoping God’s got something better than that planned for me. I know it sounds selfish… but I’d like for my kids to see a happier Mom.

    1. Wow! I’m gonna be praying for you on that! TOO many people are in the same boat. God WILL be faithful though!

  6. I would want to spend some time with my grandmother, who died over 10 years ago.

  7. I would like to have my Mom, your Grandmother, here for Christmas. Christmas was her favorite time of year and I still miss her especially at Christmas. I would like for her to meet you and your brother. Love you

    1. The confirmation that 2 loved ones have accepted Jesus as their Savior.

      1. Wow! How awesome would that be! Praying with you, Pat!

  8. That my oldest sons would be able to come visit on a more regular basis…and Santa is not fat…he’s fluffy!

    1. haha… Thanks for that correction, Michael!

  9. Well, I’ve been out of a job for a year now. I’m so grateful I have two interviews tomorrow which I’m trying to give to the Lord and not be anxious about, so having a job would be a great “gift.” But even more than that, there’s a young man God brought into my life at the beginning of this year, who doesn’t know Jesus. And my “dream” is that he would encounter God’s love and accept Christ as his personal savior. :) That would make my Christmas and Christmas’s to come.

    1. Beautiful. Great comment!

  10. For me it’s consistency in my walk with God and relationship with my family. There are certain areas of my life that cause me to spin out of control at times and shift my focus away from where it needs to be.

    1. Praying you get that!

  11. My dreams to come true.

  12. That my dear friend Alan would experience the unconditional love of Jesus Christ, a grace that would lead him to freedom from a life of depression and anxiety and to an eternity of peace.

    1. Wow! Praying that happens for Alan!
