What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Merry Christmas from "The Friend": Our Story Christmas Tree

This Primary song is very sweet.  It reminds us of the symbolism in the ornaments of Christmas.
In addition to the ides from the song what other symbolisms can we think of.  The ornament balls remind us of eternity, and and empty tomb, the lights that shine of the star, the color red reminds us of Jesus' robe, and his blood spilt for us, snowflakes and icicles of the season, but also that eventually there will be a Spring and new life.  The tree points to heaven, the candy cane with red stripes again reminds us of Jesus' blood and sacrifice, as well as the shepherds.  The colorful packages of the kings who came to worship Jesus.
