Daily Bread (27)

Cat tine de tine nici un bine sa nu ramana nefacut!

Maine e Craciunul, sarbatorim Nasterea Domnului nostru Isus in aceasta lume. Acest eveniment a avut un scop precis, nu puteam fi salvati decat de cineva care sa inteleaga atat lumea noastra corupta de pacat cat si Cerul care este patria pentru care am fost creati in primul si-n primul rand.

Dar oare cati oameni habar nu au de tot ceea ce sarbatorim de fapt, si nu putem sa ne inchipuim ca sunt putini. Dimpotriva, sunt multi, multi, care habar nu au de motivul adevarat al acestei sarbatori.

Ce facem noi cu privire la aceasta? Ne pasa noua catusi de putin de cei care niciodata nu o sa stie ca a venit un Salvator in lume?

Poate nu avem talent la evanghelizare, poate misiunea e prea costisitoare, dar o fapta buna, un gand, o rugaciune, un zambet, astea ne sunt la indemana.

Lucrurile mici, faptele aparent nebagate in seama, au impactul cel mai mare asupra vietii celor din jurul nostru.

Orice bine care tine de noi sa il facem, si nu oricum ci cu bucurie! Sa fim gata sa aratam aceeasi bucurie si daruire de sine pe care ne-a aratat-o Dumnezeu noua, dandu-si singurul Fiu ca sa vina intr-o lume rece, sa faca bine, si sa fie rasplatit cu rau, ca in cele din urma totusi BINELE sa fie triumfator! 

Melodia zilei:

NewSong - The Christmas Shoes

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about.

Repeat Chorus
