The lights, the presents and the joy at Christmas time have always made this time of year my favourite! When I was younger, this time of year was always full of so much magic and wonder. Now, it's more of a reverent time of the year. The lights and presents that used to be the focus of Christmas when I was younger now have a deeper meaning that symbolizes Christ and his life.
I love seeing my family and friends open the gifts that I have either bought or made for them. I love getting them things that they can use or that show them how much I love and care about them. The wise men brought gifts to Jesus Christ when he was born, they were showing him their love and respect. Jesus Christ's birth in itself was a gift to us from a loving Heavenly Father. He was born that we might have peace. Christ's life was a gift to us, an example of how we should live so that we might have joy and live with our Father in Heaven again. His suffering in the garden of Gethsemane is a gift to us as he paid for our sins and experienced all of our infirmities so that he could know how to help us (Alma 7:12). The lights at Christmas are still so glorious to me, if not more so! They symbolize the light that Christ is in the world. The lights at Christmas bring joy and hope and that is exactly what Christ brings. I am so grateful that #asaviorisborn and for his love that he graces me with every day. I know that he loves us and wants us to be happy! Christmas time is great, but the Savior can be a part of our life all year round. He is there for us through thick and thin all you have to do is, "Come unto Christ" (Moroni 10:30). Pray and ask if he is there, ask if he loves you! And if you do so with a sincere heart with the intent to act on the answer you receive he will show you that these things are true. I know because I have done this myself and I have felt his love. I am living proof that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is real and that changes people for the better! Christ loves you! God loves you! and I love you! Happy Christmas everyone!
