Deep Thoughts After Christmas

Well Christmas is officially over, the lights will start coming down, trees thrown out or packed up, decorations cleaned up, and the spirit of service and Christ that is prevalent this time of year, will diminish until we once again start to celebrate His birth in another 364 days.
Now something about that doesn't seem quite right... He came to this earth and gave His life to the service of those around Him, the fulfilling of His fathers will and then eventually gave His life as He suffered and died for us, and all we can do for Him is remember Him one season of the year?
So this year, while you are packing up and putting the decorations and gifts away, don't put the remembrance of Christ and His birth and life away as well, but rather treasure it up in your hearts and minds all the year long.
As you consider how to do this, read this scripture found in 2 Nephi 31:20
20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

So throughout the entire year, and your entire lives, press forward, with a steadfastness that is found in Christ, and as you have that hope and love for God and your fellowman, let that work in you to the point that you have the desires to serve your neighbor which in turn is serving your God.
So Christmas may have ended, but the spirit of Christmas, or the love of God, can carry on inside of you all year around!

La navidad ya se acabo, empezaremos a sacar las luces, echar las arboles de navidad y limpiar las adornos de la navidad también, y con eso, es espíritu de servicio y Cristo va a retroceder en el mundo hasta el proximo ano.
Pero eso no me queda bien... El vino a la tierra y dio su vida en el servicio de los demás, en cumplir la voluntad de su padre, y en al fin, nos dio su vida. Y después todo que nos dio, todo que podemos hacer es recordarlo una vez por ano?
Entonces este ano, en vez de echar el espíritu de la navidad y los recordatorios de su vida en una caja con los demás adornos, sino guardarlo en su corazón y mente todo el ano.
Mientras que lo haga, lee este escritura que se encuentra en 2 Nefi 31:20
20 Por tanto, debéis seguir adelante con firmeza en Cristo, teniendo un fulgor perfecto de esperanza y amor por Dios y por todos los hombres. Por tanto, si marcháis adelante, deleitándoos en la palabra de Cristo, y perseveráis hasta el fin, he aquí, así dice el Padre: Tendréis la vida eterna.

Entonces, durante todo el ano y toda su vida, sigue adelante con firmeza que hay en Cristo, y cuando tenga esta esperanza y amor por Dios y su semejante, deja que estes sentimientos trabajan en usted hasta el punto que tengan las ganas de servir a su vecino que es igual de servir a Dios.
Entonces, se acabo la Navidad, pero el espíritu de Navidad, que es el amor De Dios puede morar dentro de usted todo el ano!
