“The most amazing thing about the Christmas story is its relevance. It is at home in every age and fits into every mood of life. It is not simply a lovely tale once told, but eternally contemporary. It is the voice crying out in every wilderness. It is as meaningful in our time as in that long-ago night when shepherds followed the light of the star to the manger of Bethlehem”. (Howard W. Hunter, “The Real Christmas,” Ensign, Dec 2005)
We, as a relief society presidency, echo the words of the prophets and remind you, if you desire to find the true spirit of Christmas during the rush of the season; “find time to turn your heart to God. Perhaps in the quiet hours, and in a quiet place, and on your knees—alone or with loved ones—give thanks for the good things that have come to you and ask that His Spirit might dwell in you as you earnestly strive to serve Him and keep His commandments. He will take you by the hand and His promises will be kept.”
We love you all and wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas!
