Christmas #1

President David O. McKay said: “True happiness comes only by making others happy—the practical application of the Savior’s doctrine of losing one’s life to gain it. In short, the Christmas spirit is the Christ spirit, that makes our hearts glow in brotherly love and friendship and prompts us tokind deeds of service. It is the spirit of the gospel of Jesus Christ, obedience to which will bring ‘peace on earth,’ because it means—good will toward all men.” 

We gain a greater understanding and feeling of the love of Christ at christmastime because as David O. McKay said the Christmas spirit is the Christ spirit. If we are focusing on the spirit of Christ we are of course going to be happy because obviously thinking of Christ will always make you happy.

President Monson said: "Let us in our lives give toour Lord and Savior the gift of gratitude by living His teachings and following in His footsteps. It was said of Him that He “went about doing good.” ⁸  As we do likewise, the Christmas spirit will be ours."  

I have seen this work for me in my life and on my mission.  As i have focused on gratitude I have seen the spirit of Christ come more alive this christmas season than ever before.  As we "Go and Do" we will be blessed.  The blessings of focusing on Christ makes Christmases even better.

President Monson gave us an amazing talk entitled "What is Christmas" I encourage you all to read it.  It will help I loved it he tells two great stories that really touched me .  Click Me

If we all work on seeing and loving the savior this christmas season we will be much happier and our testimonies will increase. 

Always Smile!

I choose the picture at the top because of the amazing lights that surround the Statue of Christ(I cant figure out how to spell Christus,maybe).  Let our lives be always Christ Centered.
