This year we had a wonderful surprise visit from Jesus Christ. The kids were being wild, talking, giggling, the usual. Then, when Christ walked in, everyone immediately silenced. You could have heard a pin drop.
As Christ began to explain Christmas, why we celebrate His birth and why we give presents to one another, the room was silent. Even all the 2 year olds sat in awe and listened as he spoke. The spirit in the room was strong. It brought back the reason that all of us were sitting in this room enjoying each others company. The presents no longer mattered, everyone was recalling the birth of our Savior. The reason for this wonderful Christmas season was brought back into the forefront of everyone's minds.
Hayden said it best, "I know that is Grandpa, but I still feel like Jesus is with us."
I am so thankful for this time of year. The celebration that our Savior was born, that he died for us so that we will live again with Him forever. I am thankful for the time we have to reflect on His important message and celebrate this season. I am thankful for the wonderful spirit that comes this time of year. Where people look beyond themselves and how they can help and bless others lives.
