Temple Lights

       I love the lights at Christmas time!  The lights at our DC temple rival those at Temple Square.  They have lights on every tree!  Bridger seemed to like the colorful lighted trees too.
     We remember that Christ is the real meaning of the season.  He was born under extremely humble circumstances.  He had a manger for his crib and cows to keep his company.  Even though he was extremely poor he was royalty.  The son of God.  He lived a perfect life and through his atonement provided the way for us to return to live forever with him in the mansions of Heaven forever.  The importance of his birth was the life he would lead.  
      "We solemnly testify that His life, which is central to all human history, neither began in Bethlehem nor concluded on Calvary. He was the Firstborn of the Father, the Only Begotten Son in the flesh, the Redeemer of the world." The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles.
      This is my favorite song from the Christmas devotional.  I've listened to it over and over again and I still love it.
