Merry Christmas!

Christ, think on Him for a moment this week. He is not only the reason for the season, but the reason for life! He was born into this life the same as all of us. But His parentage was unlike ours. He had a mortal mother and immortal Father in Heaven. He was born a King. But He wasnt just any ordinary king. He was and still is the King of all the worlds. He began teaching God's word when He was just a child. A child of God, just like us. But oh the sacrifices He made so that we can return to Heaven. Jesus Christ had to be mortal so that He could suffer and die for us. Then three days later He rose from the grave , whole, immortal,  and forever perfect. Because of Him we can live again! We can recieve immortality and eternal life. This is God's whole purpose for everything we go through. "For behold, this is my work and my glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." (Moses 1:39)

Christ was born in poor circumstances. " And she brought forth her first born son, and laid him in a manager; because there was no room for them in the inn." (Luke 2:7) Though no one made room for Jesus, He has room in His heart for each and everyone of us.God chose Christ to come to this earth because He knew that Christ would have always have room for us. As we celebrate the Christ, who came to this earth first as a babe, may we truly ponder how much room in our life we have given to Jesus.

I love the Savior so much! And I am so very grateful for this Christmas season, to ponder on the impact He has in my life and how so very often I see His hand in my life. I am thankful for the Atonement, for the privlege I have of repenting,  for the strength He gives me so I can endure my trials and face temptations.  And I am most grateful for the opportunity I have been given to get to know my Savior. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and pray you may all be blessed with safety and with the Spirit and love of our Lord and King!
