The Holidays

The holidays are kind of a funny time of year.  Everyone is always hustling around trying to get everything ready for Christmas.  They are stressing about money and finances, stressing about what they will get their children for Christmas and how they will ever afford everything they want.  Christmas isn't about getting the biggest best things for your kids, Christmas isn't about spending a certain amount of money, its about Christ. Everyone around us, including our government is trying to take the true, actual meaning of CHRISTmas out of it by calling it X-mas or the "holidays".  I don't understand it, I don't know why someone would want to take Christ out of Christmas.  He is the whole reason why we celebrate this holiday.  Christmas is not about the presents.  Its about the love of our Savior, its about the love of our families and being with them.  Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of our Savior and to celebrate everything he gave us.  He gave us so much that I could never be able to express my gratitude.  He did so much for us and provided us with such an amazing path and way.
Next month on Christmas is our six month anniversary.  I'm so blessed he is in my life! He blesses me so much and helps me through everything.  There are so many people in this world that have such hard relationships and I just don't understand, I guess its because David and I have something special.  We are willing to help each other through everything.  We are able to give each other more than we need.  We also have the gospel in our lives.  If you put Christ first, everything else will fall into place.  I truly am so blessed, I have an amazing family, I have an amazing husband, I have amazing in-laws, and most importantly I have an amazing Savior!
At this time and all the time we need to remember Christ in Christmas and we need to let others know about it also! He is always there for us even when no one else in the world is. He helped me through some of my most difficult times.  He helped me when I was struggling in Wyoming, he helped me find happiness again.  He helped me gain such a stronger testimony and he helped me understand my life so much better.  We all live for something miraculous, we all live for a purpose.  We may never know exactly why we are doing things at a particular time but the Lord sure does.  He knows why we are doing everything when we are doing it.  And he will help us every step of the way.
