Christmas Mormon

I first saw the Prophet Joseph in May, 1842.. .. A few days after this I was at Joseph's house. Several men were sitting on the fence. Joseph came out and spoke to us all. A man came and said that a poor brother who lived out some distance from town had had his house burned down the night before. Nearly all of the men said they felt sorry for the man. Joseph his hand in his pocket, took out five dollars and said: "I feel sorry for this brother to the amount of five dollars. How much do you all feel sorry?"

-- Andrew Workman, Early Member of the Church
(Juvenile Instructor, Oct. 15, 1892, 641.)

"Let us glory in this wonderful season of the work of the Lord. Let us not be proud or arrogant. Let us be humbly grateful. And let us, each one, resolve within himself or herself that we will add to the luster of this magnificent work of the Almighty, that it may shine across the earth as a beacon of strength and goodness for all the world to look upon."

( Gordon B. Hinckley, "Condition of the Church," Ensign, Nov. 2004, 6.)

Who's Birthday do we Celebrate?

"[Jesus Christ] is a teacher of truth--but He is more than a teacher. He is the Exemplar of the perfect life--but He is more than an exemplar. He is the Great Physician--but He is more than a physician. He is the literal Savior of the world, the Son of God, the Prince of Peace, the Holy One of Israel, even the risen Lord."

Comments: [In preparation for the months to come] I'm looking to help my family focus more on Christ for Christmas, any tips on what I can do for our next FHE?

I'm all for that. Single out a family in need and just help them and they don't have to be from the church either I don't know why some members feel they can only do service amongst themselves.

Comments: That is a good idea but sometimes I don't know how to approach these families without offending them. I don't want to just show up with things I think they need because that is what they really do not need. I might have to ask the bishop if he has specific names of people or as you suggested I could just get the family to volunteer at the local soup center.
