Christmas is Love

Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values. It is peace because we have found peace in the Savior's teachings. It is the time we realize most deeply that the more love is expended, the more there is of it for others.

Our Potential

Our Heavenly Father sees our real potential. He knows things about us that we do not know about ourselves. He prompts us during our lifetime to fulfill the measure of our creation, to live a good life, and to return to His presence.
~Dieter F. Uchtdorf
