When I was growing up, we had a tradition of giving the baby Jesus a gift for Christmas. Each of us would choose something that we wanted to do in the next year that would help us to be a better person.
This year I would like to write down the gifts that my little family has chosen to give. This will help us to remember throughout the year as we look back.
Sean- He has chosen to be in charge of making sure our family reads the entire Book of Mormon together in 2013. He would like us to have more meaningful family scripture study.
Amy- Will make sure that she spends more "quality time" with her family. One of the ways she will achieve this is by making sure not to let the electronics get in the way of her family time.
Bethanie- Would like to make a greater effort to help us feel peace and love in our home. She will do this by being more patient and loving with her siblings.
Sadie- Will do better about helping with chores and cleaning her room when asked, and even when not asked. :)
Brady- He would like to learn how to write his letters this year.
Wesley- Is going to learn how to walk, which will allow him to reach more things and get in to more trouble. ;)
We are grateful for this Christmas season and that we are able to celebrate it together. We are grateful for the loving gift of our Savior. He brings us hope in a time of darkness and sadness. He is the perfect example of love and light.
