TEN REASONS WHY A MISSIONARY CHRISTMAS IS DIFFERENT

TEN REASONS WHY 
A MISSIONARY CHRISTMAS IS DIFFERENT

1. Last Christmas we were counting our money; this Christmas we are
counting our blessings.
 
2. Last Christmas we were giving thanks for gifts from stores; this
Christmas we are giving thanks for gifts from God.
 
3. Last Christmas we valued things that were costly; this Christmas
we value things that are holy.
 
4. Last Christmas we were wrapping gifts; this Christmas we are
wrapped up in the work.
 
5. Last Christmas we looked into people's eyes when we spoke; this
Christmas we look into their hearts.
 
6. Last Christmas we prayed to obtain a testimony; this Christmas we
pray to share our testimony with others.
 
7. Last Christmas we were impatient with the weaknesses of others;
this Christmas we are working on our own.
 
8. Last Christmas we read the scriptures as a duty; this Christmas
we read them as a joy.
 
9. Last Christmas we thought it was enough to celebrate the
holidays; this Christmas we are finding ways to consecrate them.
 
10. Last Christmas, Utah and Virginia were just places on a map; this Christmas,
they are places in our hearts.
