First close your eyes and take in the song that is playing now. How does it make you feel? Everytime I listen to "what child is this" I close my eyes really taking this song in. It give me solace, strength, and allows me to really appreciate what I have. During this time of year we often neglect to realize the importance of the sacrifice from Jesus Christ. We think presents, gifts, etc but do not really think how the lord sacrifice has impacted us as human beings. What would life had been like under the Mosaic law? Would we be so free as we are now to make choices, learn from them and grow? We have been so blessed with the knowledge via scriptures of the birth of Christ and his ministry. I am so grateful for life, love, hope, courage, charity, honor, and the power of prayer. Life has meaning because of all those qualities. It is through the example of Jesus Christ that we learn those qualities.
I am about to start reading the book, "Jesus the Christ" by James Talmage. This book is on the life of Jesus Christ and all that he did for us. You should read it, if you have not.
Merry Christmas to you all. Love those around you, pray for those that need it, have charity (pure love of christ). Be that Angel that others need.
Well off to baking cookies with the kids, wrapping gifts, spending that quality time with the family. :)
Love you all...
Kari
