The Light Of Christ
personal meanings of Christmas
7--- This is the light of Christ. ---
11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings;
12 Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space—
13 The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things. _ D&C 88;7-13

    1
    “I am the light; I have set an example”
    Receiveth light, continueth the sparkle

    2
    Come qualify, light groweth a brighter way
    to edify, brighter, until perfect day.

    3
    Have ye obtained His light in your countenance
    Lamoni, stained, Dark veil of unbelief's trance

    4
    Felt the power Of God light up his mind, sensed,
    Spirit's flower, The cloud of darkness dispelled

    5
    Everlasting Life was lit up in his soul.
    Christmas sings This year, our heart feels whole

    6
    Christmas lights With deeper meanings glitter
    Bringing glad nights Thoughts of Christ's love to ponder


7
Remember His words "Let your light so shine"
I pray, ponder Plead in calm meditation

8
Lights have meanings Charity to uncover
Rememberings Kindnesses to me and others

9
Turning to him To ask what real gifts I give
To feel within Brings unseen rewards that live

10
Joy, giving right, Ourselves, the Christ like gift;
Christ is the light; As children of light, we lift.

11
He lets us give His gifts of light, the feelings,
Representatives, of Light, of Christ's true healings


1. I have inserted words, taken out of context and changed order
in the scriptures used so I did not include quotation marks.
Almost all of the 1st 10 lines are quotes. Please read them yourself:
3Nephi 18:16; D&C 50:24; Alma 5:14 Image changed to light;
Alma 19:6 mixed up order, inserted words
