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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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. :)
