Sunday Blessings-the Spirit of Christmas

Some years I have a harder time getting the Christmas Spirit.  The spirit of Christmas is so obviously the spirit of Christ.  It is a greater love for all men.  It is forgiving those who may have hurt us in any way.  It is worshiping the Savior each day and doing good in His name.  It is giving more compliments and looking for doors to open, packages to carry, friendly smiles and hopeful encouragement.  My personal favorite service is wrapping presents for a local charity.  I love wrapping anyway and they have thousands of presents to give to children in the Denver area.  It is done through a church that is not always kind to our church, but they have softened over the years because of our willingness to be kind no matter what is done to us.  I appreciate the example of the Public Affairs Committee who have made so many efforts in collecting canned goods for them as well as this wrapping service.  And being a part of service is the BEST way to get the Spirit of Christ this Christmas.
