The devotional this year was so nice. The kids were sufficiently bribed and Kendyll fell asleep so I actually got to hear the talks and really enjoyed the messages. I loved Elder Uchtdorf's stories from his childhood and the true meaning of Christmas, Elder Eyring's testimony of the Saviour and President Monsen's reminder of those who may be needing a little bit extra love this Christmas. I've been touched today by all of the trials that people are enduring, in my own family, and also in our ward. It is a time of trial, things just really seem to be falling apart all around us. I am thankful for the peace the gospel brings, and for the knowledge that I have of what is most important. I believe that there can be joy even in times of trial, if we remember those things that mean the most.Sunday, December 7, 2008
