December Message

Dear Sisters,

As the holiday season has quickly settled upon us, I find myself reflecting on the reason and wonder for the season. It is the time when we remember the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and reflect upon all he has done for us. I love to go and look at all the different nativity displays. It reminds me of the true meaning of Christmas. It is not the presents, food, decorations or toys that make Christmas so special.

The First Presidency said that when we remember the birth of our Savior, the Christmas Season becomes truly special. As we strive to remember our Savior, our desire to live like Him will grow. It is no coincidence that Christmas is the time of year when people are most the most loving, most giving, the most kind, and the most grateful.

As we try to follow Christ's example this season and do our best to live as He did, let us find ways to lift up those around us. Let us celebrate our Savior's birth by being followers of Christ in word and deed.

I hope we can all have a wonderful holiday season and remember the true meaning of the season.

With love,
Lacee Lemmon
