December Presidency Message

           One of my favorite Christmas decorations reads, “Wise Men Still Seek Him”.  The Wise Men in the Christmas story had a desire to find the Savior, to worship Him.  Although this took years they never gave up. I would imagine their journey to find the Savior was a difficult one, filled with trials and moments when they wondered if it was even worth it.  However, I would also imagine that when they saw the Savior and felt of His spirit they were thrilled that they didn’t give up!  Their humble example of true followers of Christ should inspire us and remind us that we should always be seeking to draw closer to the Savior.  As the year draws to a close, we might reflect on the year we have had.  Some of it joyous, some of it heart breaking.  In the moments when we may wonder if it is really worth it, we must continue on our quest.  For, “He is the Light of the World and the sure source of comfort, hope, peace and joy.”(Henry B. Eyring)  As we seek Him we will be filled with his Love.  “May we, as did the Wise Men, seek a bright, particular star to guide us in our celebration of the Savior’s birth.” (Thomas S. Monson)
