Ben's Testimony

Christmas time is a wonderful time of year.  It is when more hearts are open, more minds willing to listen.  People are more giving during this time of year.  In other words, we are all a little more Christ-like during the holidays.  Though our society may not focus as much on Jesus in December, they do tend to act like him a little more.  One who is so kind, understanding & forgiving.  A man who sought out those who needed Him.  A healer, a peacemaker, a friend he was and is to all.

This season, try to give the gifts that we sometimes leave ungiven.  Speak a kind word to someone.  Compliment more.  Forgive.  These and so many other similar gifts are the ones that will make a difference in those around us.  The gifts that Christ gives to us is what we should seek to become better at giving.

I know that He lives.  I know that He is ever watchful over each of us, and guides the willing heart and mind by the Holy Ghost.  He will always lead you out from the darkness into the light if you'll be patient enough for hIm to teach you.
