“Born in a stable, cradled in a manger, He came forth from heaven to live on earth as mortal man and to establish the kingdom of God. During His earthly ministry, He taught men the higher law. 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.’
“As we seek Christ, as we find Him, as we follow Him, we shall have the Christmas spirit, not for one fleeting day each year, but as a companion always. We shall learn to forget ourselves. We shall turn our thoughts to the greater benefit of others”
Thomas S. Monson

🙂 I like Christmas! I love how President Monson encourages us to act this way all year round! Maybe that’s why I like celebrating stuff sooo much!
Is that quote from this year?
And if I may say so, that picture turned out great! I’m glad you can see the manger scene on the water beyond the shepherds. That really completes the frame.
