As this Christmas season has gone by, I notice a great difference in my attitude towards it. At the beginning of the season I hated Christmas. I knew what the real meaning of Christmas was and that we were supposed to focus on it. However, I didn't understand exactly how or even how much it could change the whole season for me. I set apart a time each day specifically for thinking about Christ and his birth and life. This not only helped me focus on Him during the short period of time I was studying or writing about Him but, it also helped me to pay remember him all the time. Even while shopping for Christmas presents something would always remind me of Him and the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas is not just about the presents, parties, goodies, or eggnog. Christmas is about the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. It is a time set apart especially for Him.
Now how can we remember Him throughout the rest of the year? One thing that I am going to do is to keep setting apart a time specifically to dedicate to Him and studying about him in the scriptures. This will constantly help me to have Him on my mind and in my heart. It will allow me to continuously be reminded of how willing He is to help me in all aspects of my life. Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. He is the Son of God. He is the one that we need to get to know. He loves us. Throughout this year and the rest of your lives I challenge you to personally get to know Jesus Christ. Develop a strong relationship with Him. Know him in a way so that you would recognize him when He comes in His glory.
