You Have a Part in the Christmas Story

This is a poem that our Primary president, Michelle Iverson, wrote for the children in the Garrison branch. I love the message and would like to share it with you.

You Have a Part in the Christmas Story

By:Michelle Iverson

To live a life as pure and clean as little Jesus did, is hard to do for me and you, we make mistakes and sin.

But when we make a promise to take upon His name, to hear His charge to change our hearts and let His spirit in.

We will shine as brightly as the star on Christmas night, and guide all those around us to His pure and perfect light.

And like the holy angels, who sang about His birth, we can tell the story of His coming to the earth.

We can kneel before Him, as the lowly shepherds did, and give our hearts and all we have, like the wise men gave their gifts.

Though we were not there, to hear the angels sing, we're here now to share the LOVE of our Savior, Lord, and King!

I love the nativity sets that I own! This year, I was blessed with two, one from each set of parents. The top one is from when I was a little girl. The second one is from the Pickerings. I love the Willow Tree figurines! The last one is from the Johnson's. It is made from olive wood and is from Jerusalem. I hope as you see many nativites this year, that you will remember the story of Jesus's birth, and that you can be a part of the story with how you live your life!
