The Leigh family joins in wishing all of you a super Christmas week.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone, and may we all have the true meaning of Christmas
in our hearts and homes.  May we strive this coming year to have more charity,
the pure love of Christ!

    Merry Christmas to all from Big Sky country!
    
    May the Spirit of our Lord, Jesus Christ, be in all of our hearts

I haven't contributed much to this conference but have sure enjoyed reading
the various notes and appreciate the research and comments that many
of you have put in.  

Seems like a good time to comment and wish you all a very merry Christmas
from the great northwest.

    I am reminded that there are a lot of folks that are depressed at
    this time of year.  For many, this is because of the passing of
    loved ones with whom they were accustomed to celebrating the season.
    Of all messages, the message that we can live again and be reunited
    with our loved ones because of Jesus Christ, our Savior, is very 
    comforting and is cause for celebration.

    	Father, thank You also for your Son, Jesus Christ, and the
    	example that He set for me. I am blessed also to be able to
    	call upon You in His Name, both in times of travail and in
    	moments of spiritual ecstasy.
    
    	Help me to remember those less fortunate than I. Help me to
    	make a spirit of charity manifest in my soul, that I may

    	helpful influence in the lives of all whom I come into

    Unto us a child is born...
    
    Merry Christmas!

Hey, everyone! I just wanted to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to 
all. 

This has been an incredible year. 1989 will be remembered as one of the 
pivotal years of the 20th century.

In the events of this year we can all see the hand of the Lord softening 
the hearts of men, that all His children may hear the Gospel Message.

Thanks be to God for His continuing love and concern, despite that we are 
so unworthy at times.

And thanks be to his Son, Jesus Christ, for coming into a world stained by
blood and sin, that these may be overcome, and that we may rejoin Our
Father one day in Heaven. 

All of us. 

Love,

    	Re: All!
    
    	Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one an all! As we
    	contemplate why Christmas let's remember:
    
    		Jesus is the reason for the Season!
    
     	(Pass it on)
    	------------
    
    
    	Love to all,
    
    	David Pyle
    	"Heap"
    
    
     	or just plain old "Slinky" 
    	to my friends.
    
    	Call me "Slinky"
    
    

I'm looking forward to the two days off work at Christmas and the two days
at the New Year.  I'm planning on forgetting all about work and my other
"projects" that consume my time and concentrating on my family, our friends,
and my relationship with God.

I'm grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ and for his love for us.  I'm
grateful to Joseph and Mary for teaching him and providing a positive home
for him during his youth.  I'm grateful to our Father in Heaven for His love
in sending Jesus.  I pray that I may really gain the true spirit of Christmas
during the next couple of weeks.

May the Lord bless all of you!

Love,

Allen

I remember, a long time ago, I was on leave to visit my family in 
Pittsburgh on Christmas eve. I was in the Boston airport, part of a long
line of impatient people at the TWA counter, waiting to get checked in.
When I reached the counter, everything was in order. As I left, I said
'Merry Christmas' with a smile to the harried attendant who had
processed my papers. I thought it was a small thing.

She stared at me for a while, with an unblinking gaze that I will never 
forget. As I turned away, I clearly heard her say to another person
behind the counter, "That's the first person I heard say `Merry
Christmas' all night." 

The cynical response from her fellow worker was 'Yeah, but he had a
ticket." 

I thought for a long while that I had done something good for the Marine
Corps uniform I wore. I did. But now I realize I also did something good 
for that person behind the counter who was only doing her job. 

Why do we have to make things so hard on each other? Why don't we
realize that small things make a huge difference? 

Merry Christmas everyone. And may God continue to bless us.
