"Good morning world. Do you like to pretend? And knowing you said Yes, since we all pretend now and again, let’s pretend about specific things.
Yes let’s pretend that the New Year is going to be fine. Let’s pretend that we are not running out of time.
Let’s pretend that fairytales are the real deal. Let’s pretend that we can rewind the years as we trick our mind into what we want to see.
So on the days after Christmas let’s pretend you are still not conflicted over who came to town and who came to reign .
And in that inquiry as my blog is leaving the December days behind
again I thought in your continuing confusion and doubt, I would do a little pretend review for you….
that way we can think about what we have just talked about too.
So let’s Pretend
it is still Christmas Eve!
Yes let’s try to recapture the feeling of Christmas the tree, as we try to
remember what Christmas day really means.
Let’s retrace our feelings of fantasy.
Let’s pretend it is
Christmas morning
and Santa Claus with his clause has once more come to town for you and me.
Naturally as we are once again searching for what's right by tricking
our minds trying to make things what
we want them to be, when that is not
the way they are at all,
some of you are still really having a hard time turning loose of the Christmas wreath hanging around
the red and green balls.
So as we pretend it is still Christmas eve that will not be hard at all,
as most of us still have our house decorations up for all to see,
including the twinkling lights outside that are still glistening.
Hence since that's the truth
in that new clue let’s pretend
things are as they used to be too!
Yes let's pretend that you are not depressed after the hollow-day let down, since Santa never came to town.
And instead let's pretend
that you are still happy!
Therefore trying to be happy again in that pretending thing you and I both
know turning loose of the sugar plum dream.....can be really tricky as
make-believe easily has just crashed head on into reality.
Subsequently, never wanting to give up on
make-believe...
let's again pretend that there is a reality in fantasy.
And as we close our eyes
Abracadabra
let’s pretend it is once again amazing Christmas time
and Christmas day for you and me.
Then in that dreamy statement while retracing your steps pretending
Santa has just come to town let's pretend that abounding
fantasy is true.
Of course that should also not be a hard thing to do, because
if you close your eyes you can still see the presents lying all around
underneath the Christmas stockings by the chimneys flue.
Accordingly in that discovery let’s also pretend again in that familiar every year scene,
that there are still excited children running everywhere wildly, happily, and carefree.
And let’s pretend that there are not really angry children searching and screaming for more presents,
that are now Not happy with the broken, forgotten, discarded toys lying around left behind carelessly.
And thinking about children lets additionally pretend our out of town family has again come knocking at our door, and they have not left us
behind as in the days before.
That means our kids are still little young ones waking up giving us hugs, kisses and IOU presents.
Yes let's pretend time has not passed us by because that is the way we want life to be,
not as it is, with our non-resident children missing.
Additionally let’s pretend there's still great food cooking on the stove,
and not the remnants of turkey past and other whole things left undigested sneaking up from our other disgusting holes while everything is passing out.
Then let’s further pretend there are sweet cookies, also cakes, with goodies baking behind the ovens door,
and not the extra pounds that are now registering on the bathroom scales sitting on the floor....
residing on our thighs forevermore!
Yes pretending Christmas is still here….
is so much more fun than facing the fact that it is over and done for this year.
Of course,
in pretending that we can put our life
in rewind I also love pretending
people are kinder then, than they are now in the check out or grocery line.
Therefore needing things to be sweeter yes indeed let’s pretend the entire world is happier like before,
because it is still Christmas morning.
So once more
let’s pretend things in make believe are nicer than the real things of today when everybody is
depressed and angrily moaning,
since without our receipts ( that nobody keeps) all of a sudden nothing can be returned at the stores.
Thankfully
pretending things are neat and sweet
additionally means around the world’s Christmas trees,
the bombs won’t drop,
and the guns are even stilled as people call a truce in middle of killing each other at will.
Yes I would like to think nobody is hurt on
a silent night
as in the dawn
of the new light....
it is still Christmas time in the morning.
And thinking that way I am happier still pretending that once again Christmas morning
is a morning without mourning.
So in rewind while pretending we are fine and not running out of time….
visiting a secret place found in my hiding mind....
let’s pretend that Christmas dawning is a morning friend of ours.
Yes let's pretend we live where everyone is happy as they are anticipating opening up their presents found in the arrival of fun
with friends and family coming....
Absolutely let’s pretend everything is great all because....
Santa Claus really
did arrive late last night in a sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer.
And as we are pretending fantasy is real that means
Santa Claus in his clause really did come to town all over again I hear.
Thus in Santa’s arriving, while pretending Santa Claus is touchable
everything is great again with the world,
because everyone's excited in their merry whirl.
Yes indeed let’s pretend that this is another great morning dawning,
because Santa Claus came to town and turned everyone’s frowns right side up into a smile.
BUT WAIT
what's up with all of this PRETENDING?
So knowing that Santa is not real, and pretending is not the real deal
in that review we need to stop pretending Santa is important to me and you.
We also need to stop and remember in the month of December whether we are thinking clearly or pretending,
CHRIST-mas is not about Santa Claus at all.
No, this was not loud mouth
Santa’s birthday...
because Santa does
not wear Heavens crown!
Therefore it will never even be important that Santa was around.
No it was NOT SANTA
that turned our frowns upside down.
This Holyday was not called
SANTA-mas day.
No this day is and was not ever about Santa Claus in any way !
It was not Santa coming to town whose birthday we celebrate.
BECAUSE IT WAS AND IS JESUS COMING TO TOWN WHO MADE
(AND STILL TO THIS DAY MAKES) EVERYTHING GREAT!
So let’s quit pretending
about many things.
Yes lets quit pretending
Santa means anything!
Let’s also quit pretending we can live in the past,
because guess what....
The Past Cannot Last!
So knowing time IS running out in your work and play
You must face the fact that your
limited time is all you have today.
Therefore lets quit pretending that
you have any breath left.
Let's quit pretending sin is a great thing.
Let's stop pretending hell is swell.
Let's stop pretending you have plenty of time to waste as well.
And let’s face the fact
that accepting
Jesus Christ into your life
will make everyday
Christ-mas time, because
you REALLY will be saved!”

Thank you for reading my blog please know that you have just been prayed for( as I am also asking that you are praying for me. ) In that prayer please additionally know that every word I am writing is Spirit sent in its heavenly direction leading you to....
Your Prayer of Salvation
Dear Jesus, I know I have done bad things in the past, and that I have done bad things today, and that I will continue to do bad things tomorrow as I am going along my way. Yes that makes me a sinner, just like everyone else in the world every day, with all of the bad things I am doing and saying.
So, because I am a sinner I know I need a Savior....
Therefore my sins and my unhappiness are why I have come to you today, as I am silently praying, because I want to be eternally happy, and I need to be forever saved.
In saying that Jesus, I believe that you were born on Christmas Day. I believe Jesus, that you lived a perfect life that is written down in the Bible to teach me what is wrong, and show me what is right. And I believe Jesus, in your love for me that you died on the Cross to save me from all of my sins day and night. Yes Jesus I believe you died, and defeated the grave as you arose from the dead on the third day. Yes I believe you are Alive forevermore and that you are living inside my heart and soul eternally night and day!
Thus in believing Jesus, you are the Son of God I am asking for your forgiveness for all my sins that I know, and those I do not know that I have committed, including the ones that I will continue to daily wallow in, as I claim in Your Eternal scriptural promise in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit that I am now going to heaven.
Yes I claim in my new faith this very Minute that I am saved, because you died for me on the Cross, and in your arising on the third day, I know I will not go to my endless grave. In that statement that just saved my life Thank you Jesus, I am now whole since the Holy Spirit lives within my soul!
Therefore in this prayer I believe that I am born again into heavens sight, and in your Biblical Promise of salvation written in the scriptures I have received everlasting life! Thus as I am asking you to change my blind darkness to guiding light you are forever my Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen
Absolutely I pray that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your eternal guiding light, and your Savior today. I know I may never meet you here on earth as we are roaming, but if you truly prayed your prayer, to Jesus requesting forgiveness of your sins, and asking for your salvation you are right now this second saved. And I will see you when we go Away back home!
