I was listening to the 2020 Christmas Devotional this morning. In his message titled Divine Gifts , President Nelson referred to Christmas preparations as Errands of love. I suspect he was talking about Christmas shopping. That statement struck me, Christmas Errands of Love. I felt that is was probably the best description of how Christmas shopping should be. An Errand of love for those you love.
Perhaps if we have the right attitude, then shopping for gifts could become Errands of Love. That means giving with love. Not worrying about how much was spent (Stay within your Budget) Not competing for who gives the best gift. Just giving what you can afford and giving it with love.
This season is about love. If we approach our preparations with love then just maybe we won't stress out. I am going to try and view all of our traditions as Traditions of Love. Gifts will be Gifts of Love. Shopping will be Errands of Love. Baking will be Baking with Love (even though it already is). Everything will be done and planned with Love.
Let the Celebration of Christmas Love begin.
