I think our challenge in life since Christmas always comes and goes, is to remember Christ every day all year long.
I have loved Christmas this year because:
-I got to help put up the Christmas Lights at the Mesa, Arizona Temple.
-I went to the temple lights about twice a week with friends of different faiths and family members.
-LOT FINALLY GOT HOME after being "stuck" in London and New York for 5 days!
-Be at home with family.
-Preparing for Vonner's wedding next week.
-Hot Chocolate, Caroling on bikes around the neighborhoods, seeing Santa in the upstairs window and making gingerbread houses. (CHAMPION RIGHT HERE!)
-80 degree weather in the valley! First warm Christmas and LOOOOOOOVED it.
These are just a few of the great things that helped bring in the Christmas Spirit this year, but having a knowledge of my Savior, Jesus Christ, and knowing that he was BORN, TAUGHT by EXAMPLE of how to live a great life and prepare to return and live with Him and my Father in Heaven, and DIED for me, has made this the best holiday season! I know Jesus Christ lives and loves all of us.
All He asks of us is to take upon His name, ALWAYS remember Him, and keep His commandments and He promises us the Holy Ghost will abide with us and be there for us. What a MIRACLE Christ has been in my life.
I hope you all had a great Christmas and enjoy the New Year full of daily miracles!!
Thats so cool you got to help with the temple lights, and you are such a good example to have taken so may with you to see them!
