Birthday Letter

Dearest Jesus,
Happy Birthday! I'm nine minutes early, I know, but by the time I'm done, it will be December 25th!
I want to tell you first how happy I am that I got to see you tonight. This evening's mass was so beautiful that I could barely contain myself. I saw you in everything-- in Fr. Etheredge's homily, in the baby's cry, in the children's pageant, in EVERYTHING! Thanks for meeting with me... I love being with you, and I wish so much that we could be together for real and I could have a one-on-one conversation with you.
I feel rude here, and quite selfish, but I want to ask you for some things. I realize it's your birthday, but everything I have comes from you, so unless you give it to me, I have nothing to give back. I hope this makes sense :-).
I feel like every year I ask you for the same thing, but I don't get it. I think I'm asking for it incorrectly. I always ask for you to help me to lose weight, but I don't know how to ask. Please give me insight on how to ask you, and figure out what to ask you for.
I love you, and have a Happy Birthday! I'll talk to you tomorrow-- you are the love of my life!!!!

C.D.
