Tonight is Christmas Eve. Please find your scriptures; we read from the scriptures the real Christmas story.
As Gordon B. Hinckley so beautifully explained it, "In each of us there is at Christmastime something of our childhood. We all revel in the fun of Christmas - of giving and receiving tinseled presents, of singing favorite carols, of feasting on goodies we never miss at other seasons, of gathering together as family and friends, all having a wonderful time.
But there is something else, something better, and that is to sit together as families and read again the fascinating store of the birth of Jesus, who was born in Bethlehem of Judea. It is a wondrous story told in language ever so simple and beautiful by the writers of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
All of us have heard these readings since we were very young. They are a part of our lives, a very important part. Every child, certainly every child who regards himself or herself as Christian, should know and enjoy the story of our Lord, the Song of God, who came to earth and died for each of us."
Below are listed some of our favorite Christmas scriptures:
Luke 1:26-38, 46, 47
Luke 2:1-20
Matthew 2:1-14
3 Nephi 1:5-21
Isaiah 7:14
Isaiah 9:6
To all our friends and family - we love you!
Merry Christmas!
We hope your day is filled with love and happiness.
Love,
The Reynolds
