Christmas Gifts

Christmas is almost here and the "fun", sometimes stressful, activity of shopping for gifts is over for us. Much as we hope we have bought or made the "perfect" gift for those we hold dear, we know in our hearts that the perfect gift was given to each one of us over two thousand years ago.

Heavenly Father gave us the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.  Jesus Christ gave us the gift of the atonement so that we may have eternal life. His life and example teach us how to live so we can return to our Heavenly Father. To help us we have been given the gift of the Holy Ghost, the gift of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the gift of the scriptures, the gift of prophets, and the gift of the restored Church of Jesus Christ. Whenever we think of things we are grateful for --family, friends, our country, our freedoms, abundance, etc.--we realize that all that we have and all that we are have been gifts from a loving Heavenly Father.

May we ever humble ourselves before Him expressing our gratitude in word and in deed!   John 3:16-17

Merry Christmas & Happiness in 2012!
