“There is a magic in Christmas. Hearts are opened to a new measure of kindness. Love speaks with increased power.
“Of all things of heaven and earth of which we bear testimony, none is so important as our witness that Jesus, the Christmas child, condescended to come to earth from the realms of His Eternal Father, here to work among men as healer and teacher, our Great Exemplar. And further, and most important, He suffered on Calvary’s cross as an atoning sacrifice for all mankind.
“At this time of Christmas, this season when gifts are given, let us not forget that God gave His Son, and His Son gave His life, that each of us might have the gift of eternal life.”
Gordon B. Hinckley
The greatest gift of all… I LOVE this quote and I love Christmas time! Thanks for posting this!
Love and gratitude seems more abundant at Christmas, although, being out and about yesterday, I saw some that need more understanding of this concept…. al little homework maybe, or I wished for an instant playback so these behaviors could be instantly seen in the moment. ( I’ll be that technology is on it’s way, tho!)
This is our goal everyday (love and gratitude)and how nice is it that we can ask everyday to be shown how to accomplish this.
President Hinckley is so cute.

It works too. Kind of amazing. :}
