The way we live. How we treat strangers &
family. Bringing Christ into our homes. Teaching our children. – These are some of the greatest gifts we can
give the Savior. These are gifts we can give all year round.
President Thomas S. Monson: “In our busy lives, with ever so many other things competing for our
attention, it is essential that we make a conscious, committed effort to bring
Christ into our lives and into our homes. And it is vital that we, like the
Wise Men from the East, remain fixed upon His star and “come to worship him.”
The first gift of Christmas was a
simple gift given by a father to all of his children, to us. He gave us his
son, the Christ. He is the gift.
This Christmas season, let us not
forget this great gift. Let us show our gratitude for Christ, the greatest gift
of all.
I hope you each take time to ponder the message of this post. Feel free to share! Respond with your ideas, memories, and impressions! We all gain from each others testimonies and thoughts!
I love each of you very much.
Merry Christmas 2015
