I've been reading the gospels of the New Testament in preparation for Christmas and my heart is full to overflowing. On every page the Savior teaches me more about what it means to Live in Truth, and the reality of what His birth means to me sinks deeper into my soul.
This time through I've been amazed once more at how the Savior never lets the Should Sharks prey on Him.
The best
example of this is the
night of his trial. Peter, James and John should have stayed awake and watched
over Him. Judas shouldn’t have betrayed Him especially with a token of
affection such as a kiss. Soldiers shouldn’t have arrested Him when He had not committed
any crime. But those Should Sharks, never concerned Jesus. Instead of being vexed with
illusion which always turns us inward and fills us with self-pity, Jesus dealt
with the verity of each moment, and continued to turn outward and serve others by restoring Malchus’s ear
after Peter had cut it off.
I have put up my tree, but I haven't shopped for gifts or t started baking, but my heart is fulll of Christmas.

This is a good point. I've appreciated studying the four gospels over the past three months in our stake's weekly Institute class. I walk there each Thursday morning.
The kids helped me put up and decorate the Christmas tree on Saturday and I almost have all the other decorations up now. I also started listening to my favorite Hilary Weeks Christmas CD. I love these reminders of the Savior. :)
