No birth into mortality has ever been accompanied with such heavenly announcements and miracles as the birth of Jesus Christ the savior of the world!

The Thanksgiving Holiday is a great time to express to our Heavenly Father our gratitude for all our blessings.
This parable highlights the importance of prayer in our lives.
In the parable of the sheep and goats, God separated His children based on whether they had given meat when He was an hungered, given drink when He was thirsty, taken Him in when He was a stranger, clothed Him when He was naked, visited Him when He was sick, and come to Him when He was in prison. The parable emphasizes the importance of serving others and overcoming selfishness.
If we will purify our hearts, we are promised to not only see our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ, but also be privileged to be in Their presence.
Jesus gave several parables involving human relationships that are important in gospel living. The Lord often asked his followers to control anger, jealousy and forgive others. One classic story is that of the unforgiving servant that Jesus related following Peter’s question on how often he should forgive. The parable of the importance of forgiveness then followed the Savior’s answer to Peter.
We should be personal peacemakers and live peacefully as individuals, couples, families, and neighbors.
