Last night Eric and I went to see the play "A Christmas Carol" at the Hale Center theater. At the beginning of the play, Tiny Tim made the statement, "God bless us, everyone". I don't remember that phrase being at the beginning of the story, so it really stood out to me as I watched the play. All throughout the play I thought of the blessings we are so freely given, and yet we so easily set them aside as everyday occurrences. We are blessed to have homes, to have families, clothes, food, transportation, and love. Most importantly, we have the knowledge of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. We know of His birth, his life, his atonement and resurrection. What greater blessing can we be given?
As the play concluded, after Scrooge was humbled and enlightened and had a change of heart, Tiny Tim again says, "God bless us, everyone". I was a little choked up! God really does bless us, and at this holiday season, it seems a little easier to recognize all we're blessed with.
