Elder Laws Christmas Testimony

My Christmas Testimony!
THE PATH IS LIT

Life is a path. A Path to our great goal of eternal happiness. The
Path is happy and safe, but narrow and anything but easy. It is
constant and inconsistent. Trials accompany us and our faith is
challenged. But all we know is that if we make it, it will be worth
it. Before,,, the world walked in darkness and obsurity with little
lighting the path. We have lost our way at times and fallen. The way
was dimmed by the darkness of the world. But it was a star. The Path
was illuminated by the Star of the coming of the messiah, the son of
God. The light and life of the world came to be our shepherd. The
Path never had such light, hope, and happiness. With Christ as our
guide we will surely arrive. He showed us what we all could do with
our own light, our own faith. We could heal the sick, give sight to
the blind, and even raise the dead. The world and its people were
illuminated by his pure love and example. He lead with his light
until death. The sinless brother carried the pains and afflictions of
the sinners. A God gave his life that we might live again. How could
we ever forget such love, such light. But we did. We blinded
ourselves. We as a world were once again lost in our own way. The
dark apostacy overcame the light of the Path. We felt abandoned, we
felt forgotten, we felt alone. But the light would be found. In the
spring of 1820 a young boy of 14 years walked into a grove and knelt
down and prayed. It was a Pillar of Light. A beauty beyond wards.
Joseph Smith saw the God of Endless Love and Christ the Light of the
World. With this Pillar of Light, the Path has never been brighter.
And it is everlasting. My dear family with this i share this
testimony. That on this Path of life. We WILL forget and we WILL
surely fall. But i testify that in these moments of loneliness we
must fall to our knees. God will never abandon us. We are never
alone. In the words of Elder Cook,"we are save in his loving arms".
In this Christmas season may we be reminded of the Light in our life.
the living Gospel of Jesus Christ. May we remember the Star and the
Pillar. I know that Christ LIVES and THE PATH IS LIT.
