Echoes Of Christmas!

http://www.echoesofchristmas.com/
Tonight we went to a Wonderful walk along, musical, magical, beautiful sound of Christmas! It is at Liberty Park and it is FREE!!! Some good friends of ours put this all together! Please go to the website above and read more about it. It is worth gathering the family and going there. It took less than an hour and was very uplifting and very well done. Helps remind you of the true meaning of Christmas.

Here is a website to read what the Deseret News wrote: http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,705271313,00.html

First Presidency Christmas message

At this joyous Christmas season men and women of faith turn their thoughts to our dear Savior who came forth from heaven to live on earth as a mortal man and to establish the kingdom of God. His glorious gospel reshaped the thinking of the world. He blessed the sick. He caused the lame to walk, the blind to see, the deaf to hear. He even raised the dead to life. To us He has said, "Come, follow me."
We testify of the living reality of Jesus Christ as the Savior of mankind. As we seek Christ and as we follow Him, we shall have the Christmas spirit, not for one fleeting day each year, but as a companion always.

I love this message from our first presidency! At times it seems like our lifes can be so difficult and so crazy. But in reality, it can be quite simple and easy. We just need to follow the perfect example of our Savior, and do as our prophets have told us and we can have a pretty nice life. I love this time of year. I love seeing manger seens, hearing Christmas songs, the smells of the season, and even Santa, who is the giver to others, just as the Lord gave to each of us, a Savior! Merry Christmas!

WOW!

My Secret Elf actually made an appointment to come to my house!! She was sneeky. She found out on my blog that my daughter graduated from Cosmetology/Barbering and asked if she could make an appointment for a hair cut. I was SO anxious to meet her! So finally last night the door bell rang and there was TINK! She had a cute gift bag with a fantastic book by Jeffrey R Holland that I can't wait to read. A reading light and yummy body lotion! I love to read in bed, now I don't have to get up to turn the lights out! Wahoo!!! Well Tink and I hit it off! We actually use to live right by her family. We have two friends in common and we work within a couple of blocks of each other. I had SO much fun chatting while Kristin cut her hair! Kudos to Jodi for this wonderful idea of Blog Gift Giving!
