Polar Express

We went on the Polar Express! The girls had a lot of fun. We ate chocolate chip cookies, drank hot chocolate, sang Christmas songs, met Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus. Santa gave everyone a bell. Tragically, our bells were "lost". After searching and searching we discovered a hole in the diaper bag. They must have fallen out. The girls are going to write a letter to Santa asking him to look for the bells. Hopefully he will find them. It was a fun ride on the Polar Express.

"Real charity is not something you give away; it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself. Charity comes when we are kind to each other; when we don't judge someone else; when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or REMAIN QUIET. Charity is accepting someone's differences, weaknesses and shortcomings, having patience with someone who has let us down or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is expecting the best of each other"
(Elder Marvin J. Ashton, Conference April 1992).

"Charity is not an emotion or action. It is not something we feel or do. Charity is who the Savior is. It is his most defining characteristic. When we plead for charity, we aren't asking for lovely feelings toward someone who bugs us or has wounded us. We are actually pleading for our very natures to be changed; for our character and disposition to become more like the Savior's so that we literally feel as He would feel and thus do what He would do."
