Christmas means so many things. Of course I am grateful for the birth of our Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ. I am grateful for this time of year to reflect upon all of the blessings that I have been given. Christmas is a feeling, deep in your soul that cannot be bought with money or wrapped in fancy paper. I can't explain the warmth and happiness it brings when I reflect upon the wonderful plan given to us and the Gospel of Jesus Christ which provides us direction and meaning in our lives. It gives me the strength to press forward on days when I'd rather give up. I am so grateful for my family and my friends and my health and my job and my house and my comforts and well.. you get the idea! This is a time to reflect upon our blessings. I am making a committment to myself to simplify my life in 2011 so that I can see through all of the worldy clutter more easily the wonderful blessings I so often overlook. Right now I am sharing DOTS with a 4 year old darling granddaughter I call a blessing and we're making a video all about her to send to her Great-Grandparents on a mission in Boston. What more of a blessing does one need? Even if she did steal my favorite RED one!
