I\u2019m sending you much love this Christmas day and hoping you are feeling the love the Savior has for you.<\/p>\n

Please remember, in all the giving of gifts, that the ultimate gift is the grace of a loving Heavenly Father who sent his Son to earth, to live and die for all mankind.<\/p>\n

Truly, \u201cHe is the light, the life, and the hope of the world. His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come. God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son.\u201d<\/p>\n
