Christmas shines with lights - on trees and houses and city streets. As we recall the bright star over Bethlehem, do we remember the source of all light?
"He...ascended up on high, as also he descended below all things, in that he comprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth; "Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ. As Also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by wich it was made. "As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made; " as also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made; "And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon which you stand. " And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings; " Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space - " The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed" (D & C 88: 6 - 13)
* Look up at the heavens and think about who made the sun, moon, and stars. Record your feelings in your journal.
