Christmas Time...Family Time

The end of the year can be a very busy time. Shopping, sending cards, planning vacations, wrapping presents, sending presents, closing business cycles, setting goals, traveling, get togethers with friends and family, etc.

All good endeavors, but none more important than spending time focusing on Christ and family. After all, the only reason we have Christmas is because Christ was born to fulfill His divine mission. And the purpose of His mission is to 'bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.' And eternal life is only to be achieved in family units.

Then, let us at Christmas time, celebrate and remember Christ and the hope that is in His infinite atonement. Let us spend quality time with our families and focus on how to make them more 'fit for the kingdom' and happier in this life.

As fathers, that is our most important charge. All other things will then come into their proper focus at the appropriate time.

Merry Christmas!!
