LIGHT

I have used colored lights on my main tree this year.   



The colored lights are cheerful and fit my elf theme for the year,




 but I really miss the calm, peaceful, loving, 

even Christ-like feeling I get from all clear lights.

I love light!  

I love The Light!


I #GiveThanks for LIGHT that bring cheer to my heart and soul,  




and

I #GiveThanks for MUSIC that lights my heart and soul.


This year I have added a tree with sheet music ornaments that I have made.  
It's a work in progress and the grandchildren have rearranged it, so it needs "restored" but I love it.




It does have clear lights and this tree is a reminder of 
the angels singing of Christ's birth.




We too, should sing praises to our Savior.  

It's not very hard to do at this time of year because of all the 
wonderful Christmas music.  


You won't even have to leave your home today to sing along with this






I love Christmas music all year long ... 
because I love Christ all year long.





May the Light of Christ fill our heart and soul - always and forever!

#GiveThanks


 I am grateful for HOPE



"... you are you and you are His. 

If you feel that love more fully, 

you will find more hope in every circumstance

 and in all you do.

(The Process and Power of Hope, 8 September 2020 Devotional by Kevin J Worthen, President of BYU)





What is hope?

... hope is a motivation to persevere toward a goal or end state, even if we’re skeptical that a positive outcome is likely. 

... hope involves activity, a can-do attitude and a belief that we have a pathway to our desired outcome. Hope is the willpower to change and the way-power to bring about that change."



I #GiveThanks for HOPE

and desire to have a better, more perfect understanding of it

#GiveThanks


I'm hoping this time I can say a lot in only a few words -

I #GiveThanks for: 

PRAYER - being able to talk to our Heavenly Father. 

Our loving, kind, all knowing, all giving HEAVENLY FATHER, and HIS PLAN OF SALVATION.

The HOLY GHOST - constant COMFORT - always needed, always available.

JESUS CHRIST - His ATONEMENT on my behalf and for each of us, personally. 

The GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST - TEACHINGS, ORDINANCES, COVENANTS, PRIESTHOOD, PROPHETS, SEALINGS ... ALL that the Gospel includes.

The BOOK of MORMON and other scripture.

FAMILY - ETERNITY

#GiveThanks

I was late getting started, so I add one more #GiveThanks - and that is for lights.  I do love lights!
Lamp light, tree lights, candle light, night light, ...  and mostly Christ's Light.



Giving thanks is "a key to hope and healing" so even if I don't post about it, I will continue to #GiveThanks daily.  It helps us feel Christ's Light, and His Love for us.  I am grateful for the comfort, hope, peace, and joy He freely gives us.



I posted about LIGHT last year in this post here.

#GiveThanks

 I #GiveThanks for opportunities to remember the things I am grateful for.  One can feel so much joy and peace as we count our blessings and name them one by one.

I am grateful for our living prophet that guides us and directs us as the Lord would have us do and in ways that always bless our lives as we follow his counsel.  Asking us to #GiveThanks (here and here) was truly inspired.

#GiveThanks


This is everyday, but today I #GiveThanks for MY FAMILY.  Every family member past and present, and surely even future.  I love that we have eternity to continue to love our family.  For me, Thanksgiving is better because of family ... life is better with family ... 










Family  
where life 
begins and 
love 
never ends
