“For unto us a Child is born!”

Happy Advent! Do you remember being a kid and the anticipation that you felt leading up to Christmas?

I remember the Sears catalog and especially that toy section that was filled with the coolest stuff that

would help to make up my annual Christmas list. As I grew older, that anticipation was replaced with an

anticipation of the coming of Savior celebration. I love all the readings in the scriptures regarding the

birth of Christ as well as the other stories like Zechariah and Elizabeth (John the Baptist’s parents),

Simeon and Anna at the Temple. I love the Christmas carols that we hear all around and the beautiful

Christmas decorations. Stop and think about the miraculous occurrence that we celebrate...Almighty

God coming as a helpless infant in the care of two teenagers that God had chosen to raise His only Son.

Truly…Tis the season!

Happy Advent!
