Merry Christmas!
We are grateful for the birth of our Savior and love
celebrating it every year! This year is
special for us because we are able to serve a mission here in England. We visit many people who are struggling and
suffering because of loneliness, bad choices of their own or others, or they
don’t know where to turn to find peace.
We want to help them, to bring the love of the savior into their lives,
and we have prepared ourselves to do so, but so many people will not listen or
they just don’t have the strength to see beyond their trials and weaknesses.
When the Savior lived on the earth He administered unto the weak and down
trodden, He spent much time lifting them up and letting them know that they are
loved.
We hope that you too
will take some time in your celebrating and look for one person that you can
uplift this Christmas season. Tell
someone you are sorry, write a letter to someone you have not spoken to in a
long time, call a friend, take dinner to someone who is alone, visit a sick
friend, say “I Love You” one more time, or give milk and cookies to a homeless
person that you pass by on the street.
Do something beyond your usual comfort zone, but bring the light of
Christ into someone else’s life. He is
the gift. Remember why we celebrate
Christmas.
Good tidings of great
joy which shall be to all people!
For unto us a child is born, unto us a child is given.
The gift is for us! You, me and everyone is the gift
given. In the form of a child’s birth
we celebrate, but it is the gift of the atonement that He gives to each of us
that we are eternally grateful for.
We hope that you have a joyous and Christ filled Christmas. He is the reason we celebrate. We
love you and pray that you are happy and well.
Love,
Elder and Sister Blunck
