The Layton City firemen made Joseph's Christmas so incredible. First Santa came in and gave them candy canes and presents, so many presents. I think I am more anxios than the kids to see what they got! It is a lot like the way the world probably felt waiting. For the,Messiah to finally come. Only, we know exactly when Christmas will come. It is overwhelming how others help and the purpose of all is the stuff they write on Christmas cards. Every possible desire has been exceeded even. Maybe I will have to think of something else to want.
Before Santa came over our Home teacher did though and dropped off a Christmas treat which was so sweet and thoughtful as I am sure they have been incredibly busy and such at this time of year. He and his wife played Joseph and Mary in a live Nativity with their baby as Jesus. He and his beautiful wife are true disciples of Christ, it is so obvious. One notable time his wife simply put her arm around my shoulders, and one time just acted kind and the power of such actions spoke louder than any words could. Also, one time, I asked her to watch my children so that I could visit teach, and she did so without causing any fuss when she had her own children to care for. But, anyway...
Santa came and first thing is Joe asked him if he liked cookies. Then, told him that he really liked his fire truck. Ofcourse, he got a tour. It is going to be another great Christmas! Coolest thing is how loving and sharing the children already are. I just hope it continues.
