Remembering the Savior

This is my favorite painting of baby Jesus. I can't imagine what it must have felt like for Mary to hold, nurture and raise the Savior of the world. I can imagine Him being the most perfect baby - so gentle and mild.

I love the Savior and all He has done for me. I feel Him around me every day. I see Him in the kind man who opens the door for me at the post office. I see Him in in the patient woman who lets me in front of her in the grocery store line. I feel Him when I reach out to others in love and kindness. I feel His perfect love when I look at others as He would. When I overlook their flaws and weaknesses and notice the wonderful things about them. When I appreciate their beauty and differences. I want to do all I can to help others feel His love for them. After all He did for me, it's the least I can do each and every day for Him. Really, when we are doing something kind for others we are doing them for the Savior.

Matthew 25: 35-36

35For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

I testify this in His holy name - Jesus Christ amen.

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. All I have to say is that I don't have to worry about Paisley ever being a young mom. After she realized that Baby Alive really poops and she has to change diapers she became traumatized and ran away. I hope she gives the doll another chance - the pictures speak for themselves.

We enjoyed dinners with my mom and my dad. It was a busy weekend and I'm a little sad that Christmas is over. Manuel has vacation until Jan 3rd - so it will be a fun week!
