So did you guess that the riddle yesterday was "HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING". Here is another one for you. Frozen Precipitation Commence. See if you can get that one!
My sister and her family have a tradition of going up to the creche festival in Midway each year. She collects nativities and so this is something she enjoys doing. Her son, Alex who is one a mission in San Jose, is actually helping with the one that they do out there and since he has been to a few with his mom, he should know just how to help. I guess the people putting it on out in San Jose are realted to the ones in Midway. Temple Square also has a number of them on display and they represent many nations around the world.
It got me to thinking that have you ever noticed that everything in the Nativity represents Christ in some way. He is the Star, that guides and gives light. He is the shepherds, cause He is the Good Shepherd. The Lambs, because He is the lamb of God. He is the King of Kings, like the wise men. He is the manger, the humblest of all. He is Joseph, the Father of heaven and Earth. He is the angel, who brings the best tidings of all. He is also Mary, the Life giver. And He of course is the baby Son, the Only Begotten of the Father. He is EVERYTHING!
"[I] offer [my] testimony of the reality of His matchless life and the infinite virture of His great atoning sacrifice...God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son!" (From the First and Last sentences of the Living Christ.)
Celebrating Christmas in small ways every day is sure to help bring a greater Spirit of peace into this season of the year. This time of year, the focus on the Savior Jesus Christ, the gratitute and compassion found in peoples hearts, and the traditions that bring warmth and love into life are what really needs to be celebrated and enjoyed. This season is often hectic and some can become less than merry, even to the point of "Bah, Humbug". Hopefully this does not happen to you.
