What Shall We Give?

I love December. The next couple of weeks are some of the most stressful of the year for us students, but all of that is alleviated a little by the hot cocoa, the cheerful tunes, the carolers at our doorsteps, the lights twinkling from cozy homes and bare trees. Life is crazy, always crazy, but the Christmas season carries with it a sort of magic so unique to this time of year. It's a chance to come out of ourselves in spite of all the hectic this or that, to spend a little time making a difference in others' lives, and remember someone who makes all the difference in our lives. Two Christmas Devotionals ago, President Monson said: 

"If we are to have the very best Christmas ever, we must listen for the sound of sandaled feet. We must reach out to the Carpenter's hand. With every step we take in His footsteps, we abandon a doubt and gain a truth....My prayer is that at this Christmas season and all the Christmastimes to come, we may follow in his footsteps."

An important reminder for us all. Happy December!
