I hope you enjoyed the Devotional done by the prophets last night. You can watch it here. We gathered around our dining room table with popcorn, hot cocoa, and laptops and watched it. I especially enjoyed Pres. Uchtdorf’s story about the little girl who experienced a negative reception for her carefully crafted present. May we all be joyful givers AND receivers at Christmas time. To help inspire you have a more service-oriented, Christ-centered, Christmas, I invite you to watch the above video.

I saw this video last Saturday. I love the idea of the white envelope! I am going to present the idea tonight at our Family Home Evening. My goal is to inspire each member of my family to do something from the heart involving sacrifice and report about it in the form of a white envelope to be placed on the tree and opened on Christmas morning.
