The Coat -- a Story of Charity

12/29/2015

When Heber J. Grant was young, his parents were too poor to replace his old, thin jacket. Instead, his mother surprised him with a winter coat she had made by hand. Heber loved it.

One day, as he was playing in the snowy street, he noticed a small boy crouched in front of an exhaust grate, trying to get warm. Heber gave his new coat to the boy, who needed it more than he did.

This Christmas and always, take time to notice the people around you. What can you do to help them? Your service will warm your heart and theirs.

“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me” (Matt. 25:40).

The Old Shoemaker

​Love the beautiful stories of the Christmas season!  

​In this heartwarming classic by Leo Tolstoy a humble shoemaker learns that by trying to help those around him, he is really serving the Savior.  

Great lesson to share with our children!  We can all show our love for the Savior by serving those in need.

O Come Emmanuel

I believe it's significant that the Savior's birth was accompanied by the singing of heavenly choirs.  Sacred music can be an important part of our celebration of His birth as well.  As we reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, sacred music can invite the spirit of the Lord into our homes, adding to the peace and joy in our hearts at this wonderful time of year.

This lovely rendition of "O Come, Emmanuel" is illustrated with scenes from the Savior's life.

On the night of Jesus Christ's birth the stars were brightly shining and angels were rejoicing.  We can celebrate this Christmas with the same light and joy in our hearts.  

This beautiful video was created especially for us by The Mormon Channel (a source of many great LDS family resources).

The first gift of Christmas was a simple gift given by a father to all his children, to us. He gave us His son, the Christ.  He is the gift.  This is a beautiful video of what truly matters in life. Merry Christmas!  ‪#‎ShareTheGift‬
