Remembering Jesus' Birthday P2

And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them. And all they that heard it wondered.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them concerning this child.

And his name was called Jesus. (Luke 2:4-21)

When his daddy had finished reading,Bobby was very quiet for a while. Then he said, "It's Jesus' birthday. But we give other people presents. Why don't we give Jesus presents on his birthday?"

"Why do we give anybody birthday presents, Bobby?" his daddy asked.

"Because we want to be good to people on their birthdays. We want to tell them we love them."

"And we want to tell Jesus we love him on his birthday too."

"But how can we?" Bobby wanted to know. "What can we give him?"

"One day Jesus was talking with his friends," Bobby's daddy told him. "He was telling them how they could show that they loved him. 'Whenever you are good to anybody who needs your help,' he said, 'you are showing love to me.'"

Bobby thought about it a moment. "When I am good to Mary, do I show love to you?" he asked his mother.

"That is about the way it is, dear. You see, what Jesus wants most of all is for people to love one another. And so the very best way to show love to him on his birthday is to show love to other people."

"Then I know what I must do the very first thing on Christmas morning," Bobby said.

What is that, dear?"

"I must go over to see little Taro and take him a present. They have just come to our town and his daddy and mother haven't had time to plan for Christmas."

"What will you take him, Bobby?"
