Annie's "Why I Have Holiday Pages" Page

Where we can celebrate together... Annie's Holiday Pages are written from a Christian Perspective!

"They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness." ~Psalm 145:7~

"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." ~Psalms 118:24~

I am a Christian. My pages may be a little unconventional. The Lord is the real author of my pages, for He has given me the talent and ability to put them together.

Encarta defines a "Holiday" this way: "A day set apart for religious observance or for the commemoration of some extraordinary event or distinguished person, or for some other public occasion. Holidays are characterized by a partial or total cessation of work and normal business activities and are generally accompanied by public and private ceremonies, including feasting (or fasting), parades and carnivals, or displays of flags and speechmaking."

Why I have Holiday Pages..............
During the Holiday season of 1997, I was advised from another Christian site that they had to remove my Banner. I was quite perplexed, and my feelings were hurt. I thought :"Haven't they even read my pages?" But I knew that I had to "Trust" the Lord even in this. They did it because I have a "Christmas" page. Well, through that experience, the Lord used it to teach me some new things. He encouraged me to keep on doing my "Holiday" pages.

If you haven't seen any of my "Holiday" pages, let me tell you what makes them just a little different. I take each "Holiday" and share scriptures, salvation, and a Christian perspective on the specific celebration. I wanted to inform and educate others about the origins of the holiday. Many people don't even know that the Jewish calendar is different from the one we use. So I have added verses from Scripture to let others know what the BIBLE really says. Basically my approach, is to share with people the information and then let them decide how they want to celebrate the holidays. My purpose is not to force my opinions and beliefs on others. My opinions really don't matter. The Word of God does.

The holiday pages give us a really unique opportunity for Evangelistic Outreach. There were many, many people who came to my "holiday" pages that would otherwise NEVER go to a Christian page. Some people may never go to Church or even open a Bible. Remember that you and your pages, may be the only BIBLE that some people ever see or more importantly read.

Let me leave you with this verse to ponder: "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" ~1 Peter 3:15~

We have such a wonderful opportunity on the Internet. As Christians we can be Internet Missionaries. We can be a light in an otherwise DARK WWW. Our Web Pages can be an amazing Evangelical Tool to reach a unique & different audience than you would find with Christians or in the Church. Some people may suggest that we should throw out the "baby with the bath water". But instead of throwing it out we can also use this tool to share the Love and Forgiveness that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave us by dying on the Cross as a PERFECT sacrifice for our SIN. Let's use our gifts and talents that the Lord has given us to reach the WWW for Him. "His ways are not our ways, neither are His thoughts our thoughts."

What good is a "Home on the Internet" without the right key to open the door?

Jesus said "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him and he with me." Rev 3:20

Do you have that key in your life to open the door of your heart?
