The most special

"As we strive to remember our Savior, our desire to live like Him will grow. It is no coincidence that Christmas is the time of the year when people are the most loving, the most giving, the most kind, and the most grateful."
- President Monson


Of any Christmas that I can remember, this year was the most special. Our focus was not on the shopping, the gifts, the hustle and bustle. Our focus was on family, friends, neighbors, time together and most of all, our Savior. Our hearts seemed changed and our gratitude was overflowing. We truly felt the love of our Savior and the hand of the Lord in our lives. We genuinely felt the spirit of what Christmas is all about.

Christmas is truly the most wonderful time of the year. Santa looked very generous. He usually is. Let's keep the spirit all year long!
