It is easy for us to forget what is truly important during these holiday seasons. We get all wrap up in the presents and gifts, in the food and the people, and how and where the party is going to be. But we must realize those are all illusions. They cannot fill your heart. So, what is truly important?
To love. Having come from a big family circle and having had to leave them, I can truly say with certainty that it is the people and the memories that you share together that are the most important. It is the love of friendship, the love of family, and the love of knowing you are surrounded by beautiful people that fills your heart. Just look at how Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were all together celebrating the birth of the savior, showing their love for one another.
To be humble. There is no other better example than that which Jesus gave us. He was born as a baby, and it is this sign which tells us how the lowly and defenseless are the greatest in God's eyes. God in heaven sees our value through other means. He sees deep in our hearts what our intentions are. If we live a life that is grateful, good, and useful, He will notice us even when we seem to fail. Aspire to be good and humble, and His greatness will follow.
