Today I had the opportunity to read an article on lds.org which gave me the inspiration for today's post. Like I previously mentioned in an earlier post, the gifts of the Christmas season don't necessarily have to be tangible. I remember back in seminary, every year, each student would be asked to make an ornaments for to help decorate the tree. On these ornaments we were asked to write a gift we want to give to Christ that Christmas. These gifts usually consist of things like serving others more, committing to read our scriptures every day, paying more attention to missionary opportunities, etc. Christ gave us the ultimate gift. He gave us his life so we may have eternal life. We can decide on a gift to give Christ this Christmas which may really be a gift we are giving to ourselves. For example, if we decide that the gift we are giving to Christ this Christmas is to stop complaining, then we will benefit from this as well. As we work on giving these gifts we will grow stronger and become better people. These gifts are gifts from the hear, that have a purpose.
