Ok so I am kinda cheating and talking about Chrismas..
the day after Christmas.
oh well, it works;)
Basically this has been one of the best Christmas's EVER!
Every year me and my family do a thing called "the twelve days of service"
What is this?
Basically its a goal where me and my family do a act of service everyday till christmas
and not just little acts of service
BIG ones!
For example one night we went to chic-fil-a
and we paid for the car behind us.
of course, instead of being a little honda...
it was a big surburban full of kids haha:)
it was like a 40+ dollar order
But it was fun to see the parents face when they found out they didnt have to pay:)
Another example is when me and my family went to the LDS bishop storehouse.
We went inside and started to help, and then we saw a young mom with a 3-year old daughter
She was struggling with grocerys
the daughter was crying
and the mom couldnt put the daughter down because she didn't have any shoes
and the mom couldnt put the daughter down because she didn't have any shoes
Me and my family rushed over and helped her with her grocerys and her daugher.
then we handed her a envelope with 70 dollars and told her Merry Chrismas.
The cool part is, we went to temple square the next night,
and we saw her there.
With a brand new pair of shoes:)
I can't describe the feeling I had that night.
But all I know is that this is what christmas is all about.
I felt Christ's love so strong that night, and believe it or not, even in the chick-fil-a drive through
I know that this Church is true.
and that Christmas is not always about the gifts you recieve,
its about the birth of the Savior.
and even though Christmas is over,
the spirit isn't.
Merry Christmas:)
