Brigham, Paul, and Somerset.
One of the highlights of Christmas this year was when some members of the family took us to a drive-through Nativity with several scenes from the story of Jesus Christ's birth with live actors. I did my visiting teaching, made or bought gifts for family members, attended a family get-together for Christmas, two Christmas parties and watched a Christmas movie. But with the days passing lickety-spit till Christmas Day, I thought I wouldn't have time to attend the temple this month or I'd have to cancel Christmas. The reason: cookies.
I'm usually a lousy cookie baker, scorching my cookies, but I found that with parchment paper between the cookies and the baking sheet the cookies didn't burn. So I went from thinking cookies were a pain in the neck and something I'd skip doing at Christmas, to an overdose almost of cookie baking, once I learned this trick.
Finally I realized that if I didn't bake cookies a third time this Christmas I'd have time to attend the temple. Christ is the reason for the temple. Even the crows sing hallelujah. So why couldn't I worship Jesus Christ at the temple? I planned a trip there the next night. I am grateful that Jesus Christ is my Saviour. I even wrote a list of all the things I am grateful for...at 6 o'clock in the morning!
The End
