Hello friends and fellow students,
We just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. We hope you are enjoying a safe and happy break from school, and are able to spend some time with those you love. Here's a particularly powerful quote from President Monson, given at the recent First Presidency Christmas Devotional:
"There is no better time than now, this very Christmas season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus the Christ... Let it be a time of prayers for peace, for the preservation of free principles, and for the protection of those who are far from us. Let it be a time of forgetting self and finding time for others. Let it be a time for discarding the meaningless and for stressing the true values. Let it be a time of peace because we have found peace in His teachings. Most of all, let it be a time to remember the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the Wise Men. My brothers and sisters, may the spirit of love which comes at Christmastime fill our homes and our lives and linger there long after the tree is down and the lights are put away for another year."
As Tiny Tim would say—God bless us, every one! :)
