I am grateful for a new year, with a fresh start! The year 2011 brought a lot of experiences in my life that has made me change the way I look at life, and I have truly grown from my challenges and spiritual experiences that I have had. I'm grateful for all of my trials and happy moments! I want to be able to think of ways to be happy EVERY SINGLE DAY! Life is too short to spend it being sad or down. I'm no blogger, so I hope that my desire to do this everyday will continue. I know that if we stay positive, and look up in life, anything negative will become a positive experience! With that said..........Let's Smile!

SMILE #337 The 1st Presidency Christmas Devotional

There are a few reasons why watching The 1st Presidency Christmas Devotional makes me smile!

1.  I think the 1st and only time that I've actually been to the Conference Center to watch it, was when my hubby asked me out on one of our first dates to go and watch!  It's a great memory, and i'll not forget it!  After the devotional, we even walked around temple square to look at all the lights!  It was a great night!

2.  My boys willingly sat down to watch it with me!  It was fun to cuddle with my 2 buddies, and they listened intently!  It was great!  They asked so many questions, about the 1st presidency and about the gospel, and my oldest even referred back to something that was shown from last years devotional!  I was so impressed that he remembered!

3.  I LOVE listening to the 1st presidency!  Pres. Uchtdorf's talk really made me so excited for a fun family Christmas tradition, that we do every year, since I can remember...as a young girl!  Giving gifts to our family from the heart.....which means homemade!  It's something we still do, and we all love it!  Pres. Monson, always know's how to bring on the spirit with a smile!  He's a wonderful inspired prophet of God, and I'm grateful to be living during his time of service!
