Presidency Message
It’s Christmas! Definitely my favorite time of year, I’ve been listening to Christmas songs for a couple of weeks already. One of my favorites right now is called Instrument of Peace by the Canadian Tenors which actually comes from a Catholic prayer. It talks about giving things like love, faith, comfort, hope and forgiveness. Presents are great! A beautiful tree with nicely wrapped gifts underneath it is such a wonderful sight. It feels so good to receive a thoughtful present and even better to be able to give them. This season as we’re contemplating all the gifts that we’ll be buying for our loved ones, let us not forget the more important gifts of love and service that we can give to all of those around us. President Hugh B. Brown said that the Spirit of Christmas illuminates the picture window of the soul, and we look out upon the world’s busy life and become more interested in people than in things. To catch the real meaning of the Spirit of Christmas, we need only drop the last syllable, and it becomes the Spirit of Christ. Merry Christmas sisters! Sis. Kelsie Payne
