13 Dec Do you believe in Santa? (Mt 7:14) by Pat Castle
Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. ~ Mt 7:24
.
Reflection: St. Nicholas, the real Santa Claus, gave to the needy and children. Do you believe that we carry on for St. Nicholas by giving to the needy and bringing Christmas gifts to children? Well, then you should still believe in the real Santa Claus that was inspired by the real Son of God. With this faith perspective, you can honestly tell children that you indeed believe in Santa Claus. When daughter Grace was 9 yrs old, she questioned whether Santa was real. After Angi and I explained, Grace said, “oh great, I can still believe in Santa Claus!” Today, St. Nicholas would help abortion-minded mothers choose Life for their child, and he would reach out to hurting post-abortion mothers. Santa Claus was and is All In Christ Pro-Life! May we REMEMBER The Unborn baby Jesus during our Advent faith journey. Let’s run forth to meet Our Savior King now, at Christmas and forever (prayer below). Watch this Christmas JOY!
.
Challenge: How would Jesus and St. Nicholas prioritize their Christmas giving? Adopt these same priorities. For gifts, order “REMEMBER The Unborn – Jer 1:5” gear at LIFE Runners Store (wristbands, holy cards, hats, car magnets, keychains, jackets, etc). Support our LIFE Runners team to continue life-saving growth (1 Cor 3:6), now over 6,700 LIFE Runners in 33 nations: needs listed at liferunners.org/donate.

Pray LIFE Runners Creed to end abortion. Add Prayers.
* “Grant your faithful, we pray, Almighty God, the resolve to run forth to meet your Christ with righteous deeds at His coming, so that, gathered at His right hand, they may be worthy to possess the heavenly kingdom.”
.
Inspiration: “The first step to eradicate abortion is by living a chaste life. The second step is to openly respect the sacredness of life, so that others will see your example and be moved to do the same. The final step is to pray. If my generation does these things, we will truly become “One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice FOR ALL.”” ~ Elizabeth (teenager)

All In Christ for Pro-Life!
