"At this focal point of all human history, a point illuminated by a new star in the heavens revealed for just such a purpose, probably no other mortal watched—none but a poor young carpenter, a beautiful virgin mother, and silent stabled animals who had not the power to utter the sacredness they had seen. Shepherds would soon arrive and later, wise men from the East...But first and forever there was just a little family, without toys or trees or tinsel."(Elder Jeffrey R. Holland)
I've read this the past three nights. Thanks, B. Full text here.
