This Christmas
This Christmas, mend a quarrel.
Seek out a forgotten friend.
Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust.
Write a letter. Give a soft answer.
Encourage youth.
Manifest your loyalty in word and deed.
Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge.
Try to understand.
Examine your demands on others.
Think first of someone else.
Be kind. Be gentle.
Laugh a little more.
Express your gratitude.
Welcome a stranger.
Gladden the heart of a child.
Take pleasure in beauty
and wonder of the earth.
Speak your love and speak it again...
May we find our spiritual thrist quenched by the living water of the
Savior. May He become our focal point at this Christmas season, and
always in the future. I testify that He lives today, the babe of
Bethlehem--now the risen Lord. He and His Eternal Father love and
care for each of us in a sacred and personal way.
