Merry Christmas

I hope your Christmas was as good as mine. The Christmas season has been such a great time.

Last week in Sunday School we had an awesom lesson about the birth of our Savior. Our teacher encouraged us to think about the way Mary, Joseph, the animals and the wise men and how they felt and really put ourselves in their shoes. The teacher also had a crown of thorns and he asked someone to explain her thoughts. She explained how even though at first she didn't want to think about it at all. She thought it was a sign of hurt, and pain. The more she thought about the more she saw it as a sign of love. That our Savior loved us enough to take upon him our sins and burdons.

I realize that the crown of thorns didn't have to do with the Savior's birth, but it really hit me, and made me appreciate this season all the more!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
