The Reason for the Season

After the week I have I had, I had to stop and remind myself what a wonderful time of year this is. And the great GIFT we have been given. Jesus Christ. There is no greater gift than the Son of God. In Relief Society last week, we named some of the gifts He has given us and nothing in life that we think we can gain or receive will ever equal the vastness and wonder of the gifts He has blessed our lives with. I need to take the time to be more humble and thankful. I had to put myself in perspective of the blessings I have received and have yet to receive, if I do the things I need to do. It all seems so easy and great until life throws its curve balls and sometimes it hard to get up and redeem yourself and stay focused. But I know because of the gift of the Atonement, it is possibly to pick up and move on. A gift only given by HIM.
