Favorite things
We have been loving The Christmas Light the World campaign I've been doing it with the kids each day and watching the little clips and reading the scripture and suggestions for each day its been awesome and I think it makes us all think a little more about others https://www.mormon.org/

Quote:
"I think as you grow older your Christmas list gets shorter,
because the things you want can´t be bought.."
-so true
What is
Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope
for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with
blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.
-Agnes M Pharo
it isn't about the presents it isn't about waiting in line, listening
to cranky people, or who can spend the most and give the best gifts...
"Blessed are those that give without remembering and receive without forgetting."
--------------------------------------------------
one CRY
awakened the world
one BIRTH
changed history
one LIFE
made all the difference....
Have a great Christmas week.
slow down. don't worry about what doesn't matter.
in the end it won't matter
"The true Christmas spirit is never found in the surfeit of things.
It is less obvious in arrival and more lasting in impact."
Thomas S Monson.
