Ears to hear

Why is it that we love the Christmas season so much?

Admittedly, toward the end of the day yesterday, some voiced their sorrow to have seen Christmas come and go so quickly.

"The Spirit of Christmas illuminates the picture window of the soul." So states the message from President Monson.

Perhaps, during this time of year, we offer a little more patience, exhibit a little more obedience, extend the hand of friendship a little more often, and bask in the warmth that comes from following the commandments and extending good will to all men and our friends and family in particular. 

President Monson continues by saying that "Giving not getting brings to full bloom the Christmas Spirit. If we are to have the very best Christmas ever, we must reach out for the Carpenter's hand, for every step we take in his footsteps, we abandon a doubt and gain a truth."

Giving not getting brings to full bloom the Christmas spirit; friends are remembered and God obeyed.

Do you have the determination to make this the very best year ever?

The formula is the same.

Hear the Voice of God
