December 23, 2017

I love how Christmas bring family together.  So nice to sit and chat and laugh.

"When we talk about the birth of Jesus Christ, we appropriately reflect on what was to follow.  His birth was infinitely significant because of the things he would experience and suffer so that he might better succor us - all culmination in His crucifixion and resurrection.  But I also think it's appropriate this time of year just to think about that baby in the manger.  Don't be too overwhelmed or occupied with what is to come.  Take a quiet peaceful moment to ponder the beginning of His life; the culmination of heavenly prophesy but really the earthly beginning for Him.  Take time to relax and be at peace, and see this little child in your mind.  Don't be too concerned or overwhelmed with what is coming in His life or in your life.  Instead take a peaceful moment to contemplate perhaps the most serene moment in the history of the world when all of heaven rejoiced with the message - glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men." - Elder Christofferson
