What Shall We Give?

  At this Christmas season we must remember Jesus Christ. We must reflect on who he is and the indescribable love and generosity He gave to us by coming into the world to be our Savior.

  Jesus, born of Mary, grew to fulfill his Father's purpose. He suffered "the agony of the guilt of our sins and all the sins of the children of Heavenly Father that we might be forgiven and go home clean." He graciously extended to us a gift that is priceless. "The joy and gratitude we feel for His gift now will be magnified as we honor and worship Him. The Christmas season gives us encouragement to remember Him and His infinite generosity. Remembering His generosity will help us feel and respond to the inspiration that there is someone who needs our help, and it will let us see the hand of God reaching to us when He sends someone to succor us, as He so often does. There is joy in giving and in receiving the generosity that God inspires, especially at Christmas."
