Tommie, a friend of mine, had moved and her cat Sam had gotten lost. He had been gone for several weeks and she was so worried about him in the cold with no food or water or shelter.  On the way home from Church on a Sunday Nite, she asked her friend Mary to help her pray for Sam.  Mary told the Lord that when he took his voice away from the people, that she knew that he didn't include the animals on earth and that Sam could hear anything that he said to him.  Mary said, "Lord, tell Sam to 'go home' and show him the way".  They drove for another 20 minutes to get home and when they turned the corner to get to Tommie's new house, the headlights of the car flashed into 2 round shiny eyes at the front door.  There sat Sam, all bedraggled, hungry, tired and thirsty but he could still purr loudly.

    Christmas Day is the day we celebrate Jesus's birthday, our Lord's Son and our Savior.  Everybody gets birthday gifts on Christmas Day and Santa helps out by getting everyone in the Spirit and seeing to it that everyone gets a birthday gift to help celebrate Jesus's Birthday.  You won't have to worry and you won't have a hard time finding your gifts under the tree.  But sometimes adults have a hard time finding them cause they aren't wrapped up in pretty paper and ribbons and they can't see them until they ask the Lord to help them look real hard!!!  We call these gifts "Blessings" and someday Mam-ma will explain it to you.
