This Christmas

Mend a quarrel.
Seek out a forgotten friend.
Dismiss suspicion, and replace it with trust.
Write a love letter. Share some treasure. Give a soft answer.
Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed.
Keep a promise. Find the time. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Listen.
Apologize if you were wrong. Try to understand. Flout envy. Examine your demands
on others. Think first of someone else. Appreciate. Be kind; be gentle. Laugh a little.
Laugh a little more. Deserve confidence. Take up arms against malice. Decry complacency.
Express your gratitude. Go to church. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child.
Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love. Speak it again.
Speak it still once again.
A friend sent this to me in their Christmas card. I think it's a good reminder of what our Savior taught and what Christmas should be about.
