I know

A couple of weekends ago I was preparing the lesson for the sunbeams and, just as usual, I am there reading through he lesson and separating pictures here and there. So, I came across this picture of Jesus, which I had seen it many times, but time was different. When I looked at the picture, I could not take my eyes away from His eyes. It was like He was actually looking at me and this is what I heard " I am here. I know you. And I love you." It was such a neat experience.

With Christmas just around the corner, I've been thinking about my life and the life of close friends and family. Even though life can be difficult often, it's so refreshing to know that we are being watched over and that everything is going to be OK. I look at today. Last December, 2009, was a very difficult month. This month, compared to last year's, has been awesome. Little things like this just give me assurance that, yes, we do go through hard times, but there will be better times ahead of us. And I know that's true. I am just so grateful for my Savior. Even the way He was born, teaches us so much.

And I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas full of love, health and laughter.
