Merry Christmas from me to you!
I know it hasn't happened yet but I'm ready to celebrate with family and friends.
One of my favorite quotes this Christmas is by the great and powerful, Dr. Seuss
"It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more." -Grinch
My Dad is the Bishop of our family ward and he had to give a special spiritual thought on the holiday for our ward party. He read that quote and said
Christmas if more.
Christ did everything for us.
He was stood for us in the preexistence.
He was born for us.
He lived for us.
He died for us.
He was resurrected for us.
And he is still there for us.
As I ponder this statement it makes me think about a gift I can give this next year to our Savior.
I think along with my word of Faith for the year
I think I will also focus on Service.
Service is my gift I choose to give.
Also on a side note.. Here is my picture with Santa. Its been a few years since I've gotten a picture with the old guy... haha To bad he only had room for two on his lap!
Ah, the Grinch sure learned his lesson, didn't he. :)
