Christmas Challenge-Spreading the Gift of LOVE
This year I want really wanted to feel the Spirit of Christmas. I was determined to make a conscious effort each day to feel it. As I thought about how I might accomplish this the first thought that came to mind was to find someone to serve everyday. Thats good right? As I continued to ponder and pray about this I remembered a passage from the Christmas Box which expressed that the first gift of Christmas was love. Heavenly Father loved us so much He gave us His Son. John 3:16. So as I was thinking about this another thought appeared in my head that Heavenly Father wanted me to share this message. But not in the way I expected. Instead of 25 days of service He wanted me to give away a Book of Mormon a day until Christmas. I was shocked by the thought. Where did that come from? But I knew. I cry everytime I think of it. Part of that may be fear though. :) Thats quite the challenge. But I am up for it. WOW! I don't think I've ever given away a Book of Mormon before. Maybe once? But I trust in Heavenly Father to help make miracles occur and that will be the fun part. Still doubts still cross my mind as I look at the calendar and see the days to be filled. No, I can do this because Nephi says I can-1 Nephi 3:7. So there it is. Will you help me? Say a prayer for me-maybe consider giving out your own Book of Mormon. Heavenly Father has a plan and I am flattered he trusts me with this. And you previous missionaries I could sure use your experience. So if you have any advice please share!!!
