Christmas is a wonderful time of year! It’s a time to
reflect on our lives, a time to be with our loved ones, to give gifts and
receive love. More importantly, it is a
time to remember the incredible birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I am often
amazed at His humble beginning on this earth and His humble departure from this
earth. But I am more amazed at His greatness while He was on this earth. He
performed miracles, healed the sick, raised the dead - He did these things
because He loves all mankind! I see His love for me every day. It’s in the small,
simple things around me - the laugh of a child, the love of my family, the
beauty of nature. And the most precious gift I have received through the love
of Jesus Christ is His gift to me of the Atonement. Through the Atonement, He
paid the price for my sins so I could return to live with Him one day - He
loves me that much! What an amazing blessing. He is there for me, through
sorrow and happiness.
As a mother, I often reflect on the life of Mary - the
mother of the Son of God. What a strong woman she must have been. She raised
Jesus as a child and taught Him to be compassionate and love all those around
Him. Although He was the Son of God, I believe that Mary was an incredible
influence on Jesus Christ as well.
I am so thankful to my Savior, Jesus Christ, for the many
blessings I receive everyday because of His life and sacrifice. I know He lives;
I know He will return to the earth again. I am grateful for His sacrifice for
me and to know that He loves me.
