I have been keeping Christmas most of these days by being with family and having discussions that don’t always work out in my favor. I am getting to know myself a little more and no one can introduce myself to myself like family.
In the Book of Mormon there is a scripture that is rather applicable here. It is found in Ether 12:27:
“And if men come unto me I will show unto them their aweakness. I bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my cgrace is sufficient for all men that dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make eweak things become strong unto them.”
I’m aware of some of my weaknesses and they humble me. I finally get one under control when I am made aware of another one, keeping that humility raw and current.
But there is the promise that He will make weak things strong by His sufficient grace. That is a nice thought. A nice Christmas kind of thought.
