Christmas is one of my favorite Holidays. Though is sneaks up on me more now that school is over and the days all blur together. I love the reminder Christ is the center. He is the love and hope I should base my life on and help others to understand. He gives me so much. I can never hope to repay Him for everything. But with His help I hope I can give more of myself this year.
As I get older I find it gets harder to find quiet time. Just to let my head clear and listen. My ADD might have something to do with that. I didn't find a lot of time this year but I did think about Mary, the Mother of Christ. I can't even imagine how she must have felt to be told she would give birth to the Savior. Her faith is such an example to me. At that time just to stand up and say I will do it. I'm sure she was mocked, shunned, and discarded during her life. Especially in the beginning. But she stuck to her word and did her part to fulfill her mission. I know I can't begin to understand how she felt, but I can imagine pretty close. She is an example of the woman Heavenly Father needs. One I need to become.
Christmas is about Christ. His birth and life. I know He lives. I know He is always there supporting me when I don't think I can do anything. I am beginning to understand the Atonement. How if I let him the Savior can use the Atonement to change who I am. Which to me is the purpose of Christmas--to change our hearts for the better.
