Heavenly Father gave us His Son, Jesus Christ. And Jesus gave His life for us so we can live with Him again. This is the greatest of all gifts. Jesus gave us this gift freely.

You may want to give a gift to Jesus. What gifts can you give Him?

You can pray.

You can read a scripture.

You can keep the commandments.

And there is still something more you can give Him. All around you, there are people He loves who you can help.

I pray that we will freely give, as Jesus did.

Service Snowflake

We can give a gift to Jesus by serving others. Make a service snowflake to remind you to serve others.

  1. Cut out the circle.

  2. Fold the circle in half along one of the lines. Then fold it in half again, and then again.

  3. Do not cut the sides of the feet and hands.

  4. Unfold the paper and write on each person the name of someone you can serve.

See Come, Follow Me for Christmas.
