Merry Christmas in 6
days!!!!!!!!!
So I read this cool article from the December Ensign, so
this month called "Preparing a place for the Lord"
And I loved how it talks about when Christ was
born there wasn't room for him in the inn so was born in a manger and
then it said:
"Even during His adult life, Jesus indicated that He did not have a regular home. One day a man
approached Him and said, “Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.” The Savior answered, “Foxes
have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to
lay his head” (Luke
9:57, 58)."
But today we have Glorious Temples which are the houses of
the Lord and sure Christ
came in a manger and its cool to talk about it but just think Christ is going to come again and so how much more
important is it for us to be prepared for when he comes again by being able to
go to the Temple and be with him. Also it talks about how multiple times
through the Bible saints let him into their homes for him to stay, so are we
today, right now, ready to let the Savior into
our home? Would you feel comfortable to let him in? This is how we should live
our lives to be able to prepare for our Savior
to come again! Then it talks about helping those that don't know the truth to
prepare and then also helping those who don't have a home themselves and being
the type to help anyone no matter what! (and also listening to the Spirit
because there are some wacky people out there haha which reminds me so we
stopped our car to go and talk to these teenagers on the street and later
realized that they were in the middle of a drug deal but we gave them a Book of
Mormon and they said they would read it and so after I said " Drop the weed
and Read" and you know what that really applies to everything about what's
not super important for whats more important. Reading the scriptures is one of
the best things you can do with your time!
So Merry Christmas and
remember what's most important and always strive to continually progress towards eternal life and not the other way! Love you all!!!!!
