Christmastime is Here...

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!

John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

This picture looks like how I feel on the inside when I think about Christmas:

Except when I was really there at the Mesa, Arizona Temple, capturing this moment, the lights were brighter and my feelings were fuzzier.  My Christmas ponderings can be described in just one word: HOPE.  When Jesus Christ was born, a big avalanche of HOPE flooded the planet.  A small baby was born in a stable in a desert and suddenly there was nothing, not even death, that couldn't be overcome.  That baby hadn't even lived any of His life yet!  He accomplished so much just by surviving the trauma of birth!  And basically every angel in heaven was freaking out because it was the happiest day anyone could remember!

When He was born, He was such a small baby, but He brought with Him and continues to give us so much HOPE.

One more so you get how much I really do truly do love Christmas!

Honestly, that place is a Christmas wonderland this time of year.

But this picture doesn't even begin to do it justice, so you should just go have your own Christmas adventure.  Learn more here.
