If you desire to find the true spirit of Christmas and partake of the sweetness of it, let me make this suggestion to you. During the hurry of the festive occasion of this Christmas season, find time to turn your heart to God. Perhaps in the quiet hours, and in a quiet place, and on your knees-alone or with loved ones-give thanks for the good things that have come to you, and ask that His spirit might dwell in you as you earnestly strive to serve him and keep his commandments. He will take you by the hand and His promises will be kept.

Amen.
so true, so true. Thanks for the reminder.
Gorgeous and true! I bet Christmas in a Mormon home is really something special. It's too soon to wish you a wonderful holiday, but in the meantime I hope the prep isn't too burdensome. There is a Jewish belief that everything has the potential for spirituality, that even the most mundane tasks can be made holy, if we say a prayer or think about how we are doing those acts in the service of God. Can't believe the holiday season is upon us again!
Beautifully said... love it. Love this season!!
Thanks Amy !!
