I love this video – it really makes me think about the true meaning of Christmas. We showed it to our kids on Christmas eve in the hotel room after looking at luminarias in Page Arizona. With our little tree in the background and 1 gift under the tree for everyone. . . it felt like we got just a little bit closer to the true meaning of Christmas this year. It feels like we have to fight the worlds version of Christmas every time we turn around or go to the store – the pressure is phenomenal to buy buy buy. . . . and so this is just another reason why I love this video. I know that we don’t have it figured it out yet, but that is why we are here. . . to figure it out . . .we just have to keep trying . . .
Merry Christmas – these are a few of the lines in the video that taught me. . . .
are we desirous to be led?
do we have that spiritual eyesight.
through service . . .
give unto others as Christ would have you give . . .
They presented gold, frankincense and myrrh. These are not the gifts Jesus asks of us. From the treasure of our hearts Jesus asks that we give of ourselves. President Thomas S. Monson
