I love this time of year, even with all the hustle and bustle. I love it because it always refocuses me on the importance of the Savior in my life, and of the love of family.
In November, when the Thanksgiving Holiday comes, I tend to count my blessings and recognize all that is good and wonderful in my life. Through this process, my heart becomes a little more tender, a little softer. Then December comes. And if I allow myself to look past the commercialization and find quiet time to contemplate and "feel", then comes the quiet, deep warmth of the love of God into my prepared heart.
I am confident that everything good in my life has come from my Savior. Because I try to follow in His example, I am more and more able to feel of His love for me. And that brings such peace and joy.
Now, with Christmas and December coming towards a close, the goal is to remember these peaceful feelings all throughout the coming year.
Merry Christmas!
