On this day in which the Christian world celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, I would like to express my feelings and wishes for you. I hope that each of us has taken time to reflect on the majesty of the Saviors life. His examples of perfect love and sacrifice should inspire us all to greater heights of love toward our fellow man.
I hope we have all taken extra time to be with our families, not just shopping for things for things to give them, but just being with them. Serving each other, talking, playing a game, it doesn't really matter what we do, just that the time was given to our family.
I hope that we have gone out of our way to serve someone. Whether it is shoveling snow, feeding the hungry, singing a carol to another. Service will break down barriers and soften the hearts of those who have been served but even more so the one who serves. Today's world could definitely use a softer heart.
I hope that we can feel the Savior's love in our hearts and that we can carry that love with us when we go back out in the world. We can have nothing greater than charity in our hearts and nothing will change the world around us faster than that pure love for others. No legislation or program will replace the love for our fellow man that we ought to show others each day.
I hope that each of us will think about what we do each day. Are we doing that which would be of greatest worth to the world? Are we doing that which would be of greatest worth to ourselves? Today's world needs a big infusion of love and service, let's get to it!
Merry Christmas!
