Nativity 2019

Nativity 2019

Today we celebrate the birth of our Savior.  Jesus came to Earth and taught us to have faith and to keep His commandments.  He also taught us to be kind to each other and to serve our 

fellowmen.  Jesus founded a church with Apostles and Prophets.   But the most important thing He did is he suffered and died for us.  He paid the eternal price for our sins so that with repentance we can return to live with our Heavenly Parents one day.  

Jesus us our older brother.  We lived with our Heavenly Parents in a pre-mortal life for who knows how long before we finally came to Earth to be tested and to recieve a body.   Because Jesus resurrected we can all one day look forward to getting back our bodies.   Our resurrected bodies will not have disease or defects either.  We all will be resurrected.  If we have kept the commandmemts, had faith in Jesus Christ, and served our fellowman, then we get to return with glorified bodies.  

We members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believe that saving ordinances are neccesary to reach our full potential.  Those ordinances are baptism, laying of of hands to recieve the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and of course Temple ordinances.  These include an endowment where we make certain covenants with God.  .   . and we beleive that a man and woman can be sealed for time and all eternity in the Temple  Their children can also be sealed to them.  The family truly is forever.  

The first drawing at the top of the page was done Christmas Eve of this year. The second drawing, down below this writing, was done a few years ago. I think I am getting better. I am so grateful to still be here on Earth for another Christmas with my family! I am also grateful to Jesus Christ for coming to Earth and being sacrificed for my sins so that one day I can return to live with my Earthly family and our Savior and our Heavenly Family.

Have you ever considered that Jesus, the God of the Universe, was born in a barn? He created our planet and probably millions more like it. And he came to Earth to recieve his body, not in a palace but in a very humble place surrouned by animals. It is mind boggling if you think about it
