SOFIA WRITES SANTA

Our friends have two beautiful little girls. Last weekend, their dad sat down with them to take dictation on their letters to Santa Claus. Cissa “got it” immediately, as the old veteran, nearly 5, and rattled off a number of wishes. Sofia, 2, was charmingly confused.

Her dad asked, “What do you want to say to Santa?”

Sofia replied, “Happy Halloween?”

She really, really liked Halloween this year, especially the candy.

Her dad continued, “Well, what do you want to ask for from Santa?”

“Candy?”

“OK. Anything else?”

“A big yellow cat!”

“A big yellow cat?”

“With candy inside!”

Short, sweet and simple: that’s the best Christmas wish of all.

CHRISTMAS KINDNESS: Early in my Christian experience, I learned a lot about the faith through Christian radio in general, and the Texas-based radio ministry of the late Brother Lester Roloff in particular. Radio teachers can be the only way to learn about God for the unchurched, truck drivers, and weird housewives who spend a lot of time gardening, like me, with Christian radio on the headphones. I’d recommend an encouraging donation to the Roloff organization or any other Christian radio ministry or station. Roloff Evangelistic Enterprises, P.O. Box 1177, Corpus Christi, TX 78403.
