Sofia's Christmas Ideas: Christmas is a time for our souls to be still.

Alma 7:10-12

And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

Christmas is a time for our souls to be still.

If it happens to be snowing, watch the snow or go outside to feel your surroundings.
If you have a delicious smelling candle, sit in the dark and watch it burn for a few seconds. If you have a fireplace, light a fire and take a moment to be still.

Watch the following together as a family.

(Found on youtube.com by snotface7)

How does Jesus help those that suffer? How does Jesus bring our hearts calm and happiness?

Read 4 Nephi 1:16-18 " And surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God. There were no robbers, nor murderers, neither were there Lamanites, nor any manner of -ites; but they were in one, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God. And how blessed were they! For the Lord did bless them in all their doings;"
