I love these two Mormon messages, because it talks about the Spirit of Christ, and how we need to remember Christ during Christmas. I also love these Mormon messages, because it talks about giving instead of receiving. It is important to give more than you receive because when we give we will receive many blessings. I think it is also important to focus on Jesus Christ, and what He did for us just like President Thomas S. Monson said. If we drop the mas in Christmas it becomes Christ, and this is what we need to focus on is Christ and what He did for us. I think it is always great to remember what Christ did for us and to follow His example that he set for us. Each Christmas I try to remember what Christ did for us and I try to live my life like Christ would. A few examples of how Christ lived his life is He was patient with others, He had a lot of charity and love towards people, he served people, etc. Just like the Mormon message states, we should serve others, because when we do that it not only makes us happy it makes other people happy as well. I know that when I serve people it helps me come closer to Jesus Christ. It also makes me feel good, and the person I served feel good. I remember when I was in High school I was leaving a store and Io saw a homeless guy with a sign that said he needed money for food. I passed him, but then I got a warm feeling in my heart telling me to go back and give him some money. I followed the spirit and I gave him $2.00 After I did that I felt good, because I knew that I helped that homeless person get waht he wanted to. I challenge all who read this to give something to others, not only during Christmas, but everyday we should serve one another. Another example that I can remember is my younger sister Morgan and I use to take walks all of the time together. We would talk about things like school, sports, etc. Every week that we would walk together I would buy my sister a Dr. Pepper from a soda machine. She really appreciated that, and I really appreciated her talking with me. It was great. Another example of service that I have done is I helped my sisters out with homework. I also helped my sisters and my older brother with problems that they were having. in life. Again it made me feel good, and them. As you can see there are many ways to serve others. I can promise you that as you do that, that your life and your families lives will be blessed. I know that Jesus Christ would serve others. Again I love Christmas time because it should be about Jesus Christ.
I know that every year my family does things to prepare things for Christmas. Things like decorate the house, do the Christmas tree, decorate the tree with ornaments, etc. Something that I really like doing with the family is going around the neighborhood and looking at Christmas lights. i like doing this because it makes me feel the spirit. One of the houses decorates their house with lights every year, and they go all out. I really like going to this house around Christmas because one of the family members always dresses up like Santa and drives his sleigh around the street. It is great. I really like going there. It helps me focus on the true meaning of Christmas. The true meaning of Christmas to me is remembering Jesus Christ, and all that He did for us. Another thing my family does is every Christmas morning we read Luke 2:1-10. This scripture talks about Jesus Christ birth I love reading this with my family because it helps me focus on the true meaning of Christmas, which is Jesus Christ. It isn't about the presents. It is about spending time with family and focusing on Jesus Christ. Just like the Mormon messages taught us. Another reason why I love reading these scriptures is because I forget the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is good for me to review it. I love the part that talks about Marry wrapping Jesus in swaldiling clothes, and when the Shepard came and visited him. When the Shepard's said something Mary took it in and remembered it. Another thing that my family does is we eat breakfast together. It is great, because we get to talk with one another, and find out what each person in the family is doing. We need to be doing this everyday though. I know that I can do better at this, along with focusing on Jesus Christ everyday.
I would like to bear my testimony. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. is the true and only church on the earth. I know that God loves me, and that Jesus Christ died for my sins. I am great full that He died for my sins, because that made it so that I could repent of any mistakes that I have made in life and be forgiven of them. I am great full for Christmas so that I can focus on the importance of the family, and focus on what Jesus Christ did for me. I know that is the true meaning of Christmas. It isn't about the presents. It is about focusing on Jesus Christ, and spending time with the family. I also know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God who restored the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. back to the earth. I also know that he translated the Book of Mormon. I know the Book of Mormon is true, because I have read about it and I prayed to Heavenly Father to know if it is true? I got an answer from the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost gave me a warm feeling in my heart, and mind telling me that the Book of Mormon is true. From that I know that the Book of Mormon is true, that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. and everything about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. is true. That includes Jesus dieing for my sins. I challenge everybody who reads this post to think of Christ and what He did for us not only during Christmas, but every day of our lives. I also encourage everyone who reads this to spend time with their family. I can promise you that when you do this and you follow God's commandments and the example of Jesus Christ that your lives and your families lives will be blessed.
