Merry Christmas!

With Christmas only a couple days away I just wanted to wish everybody a Very Merry Christmas!

This Year I would have to say is one of the years where I truly took to heart the true meaning of Christmas, mainly because this year I have really realized all the many blessings I have and realized what Jesus Christ did for us so that were are able to be here and make our choices freely. We had a lesson a few weeks ago about what the birth of Christ meant to us and it really opened my eyes to realize that he went through everything that we are going through now plus 50 times worse. Just when you think that something in your life is just at it's worse then you see someone going through things that you can't even imagine. I feel like I have learned a lot from my trials this year and I am thankful for that, it has made me become a better person and really I think that is why we go through our trials, so that we can become better people.

Also with this Economy I have had friends and family going through some rough times and it really makes me realize how blessed I am to have a hard working husband, a nice warm house to live in, clothes to keep us and our daughter warm, food on the table, our cars so that we able to get to places we need to, our jobs so that we are able to pay our bills and get the things we need. Set aside all the material things and the things that I am most grateful for is the Gospel in our family, I am thankful for my parents and what they taught us growing up, I know our lives would not be the same if it wasn't for the gospel, I am thankful for Family and Friends that are always supportive, I am thankful for my husband and for my daughter who brings joy to our life. I hope everyone can look at the true meaning of Christmas and all the blessing you have in your life, it truly makes Christmas the best. I hope everyone has a great Christmas.
