Thoughts of Christmas
This week we had a zone conference
and we watched a video of Christ´s birth and I had some thoughts on it that I
wanted to share with everyone for this Christmas! I thought about what was close to Christ when
He was born. A manger, a stable, sheep, shepherds, etc. Those are all things
very humble and very plain but nowadays, when we think of a manger, we think of
Christ and the very image of a manger has power to bring the Spirit. Before
Christ was born, the image of a manger would have just made people think of
where pigs eat. What I´m going at is that through Christ, the plain and simple-
the humble- becomes something sacred. He can take us in our weakness and
plainness and he can make us into something far greater. As a missionary, I have
learned that God sanctifies the weak and simple to become great and mighty.
Just as He did with the manger and shepherds through Jesus Christ. We should be
representatives of Jesus Christ. The Manger brings the spirit because it makes
us think of Jesus. We should live so that when others see us, the think of
Jesus too.
Sorry that was kinda long. I love this time of year and I
love each one of you. Oh yeah and something kinda cool is that one of the girls
that sings that really famous version of "If You Could Hie to Kolob"
and "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" mixed together is in my zone
actually so we got to hear her perform too and that was pretty neat!
FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!
