An Attitude of Gratitude Day 21: I stand All Amazed

  • I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,
    Confused at the grace that so fully He proffers me;
    I tremble to know that for me He was crucified,
    That for me, a sinner, He suffered, He bled and died.
    • O it is wonderful that He should care for me
        Enough to die for me!
        O it is wonderful, wonderful to me!


    This week I was asked to present on a craft that I made for Christmas for our Relief Society super saturday.  I chose to make a Christ Christmas Advent Calendar where each day you flip over the numbers revealing a picture of Christ.  As I was searching and looking for pictures of the Savior I had moments where I choked back tears that were threatening to fall.  The Saviour gave us so much and did so much for this world and it is so sad to see Him and Heavenly Father forgotten by so many, or to be upstaged by Santa who now no longer brings humble gifts but things that leave families in debt.  I am so grateful for this Christmas season and to teach Jessa the real meaning of Christmas; but today more than ever I am grateful for someone who loved me enough to die for me to give me a better life.  It reminds me of the saying there is no man greater than this who lieth down his life for his friends.  Oh what awe I am in for what Jesus Christ has done for me.
