Do you ever feel like you have to search for the perfect gift for somebody. There are time I feel like that. Do you ever think about what the perfect gift would be for someone who has everything- literally- Jesus Christ has everything but is there something we can each give to Him?
"Is there a good habit or quality that is lacking in your life? When you adopt it, and make it a part of your character, you are giving a gift to the Lord. Is there something in your life that is impure or unworthy? When you get rid of it, that is a gift to the Savior. Remember, you don't have to do it alone. Jesus Christ will help you make of yourself a worthy gift. His grace will help make you clean, even holy. Eventually, you will become like Him...." (Elder D. Tood Christofferson, Ensign, May 2004)
May we all find the perfet gift we can give the Savior and in turn, ourselves.
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.
