It is also almost Christmas. I am soo glad that I will be able to spend Christmas with my family and friends and the ones I love this coming weekend. It is the time of the year to be surrounded by the ones you love and care about the most, to share that happiness and joy that the Holiday brings us. I got a letter from my sister Sariah today. It always brings a smile to my face when I hear from her, she told me not to forget the true meaning of Christmas. Its not about the gifts or the family gatherings, although those are a plus. =) But its the time of the year we celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. Christ-mas or in other words "More Christ!" For he gave us the greatest gift of all, the gift of the Atonement. Without the Atonement there would be no joy, love, eternal family, happiness. My brother in Heaven has cared so much for us that he died for us, to feel every pain, sickness, heartache, weakness, mistake and trial. Without him being born there would be no hope for any of us. He gave me the opportunity to have a loving family who makes a million mistakes but yet we can be pure, again. He still is the there for us, always. We need to follow his example, and show our love towards him, for there will never be enough to pay the debt. So this Christmas take a moment to thank him, pray to our Heavenly Father and thank him for sending his only begotten son. To me thats the real reason for Christmas!! =)
