Wishing You A Warm, and Memorable Christmas!

  May these Christmas thoughts let you know how much I genuinely love each and every one of you blogging friends, loved ones, and those who just drop by. I have enjoyed almost 10 years of blogging, and only in these last few months struggled with finding time to write. 
However, this Christmas Season means a lot to me, and I know it is because I love my Savior Jesus Christ with all my heart and soul and desire that others might know and feel His divine love for each of you. 
Today, I include two videos from an extraordinary little one; Claire Crosby that has become quite well known over the last few years. I have the privilege of knowing Claire's mother, Ashley, as a young girl. She was in our church ward, and I was her activity day leader. I loved her as a young girl and saw her potential. To see her little family now is so sweet. Claire's grandmother and great grandmother are also special friends of mine that have touched my heart in many ways. 
The first video is of Claire having the special moment with our beloved Prophet, President Russell M. Nelson. President Nelson is 95 years old, and he is accompanying her as she sings, "Silent Night."  I know this was a treasured moment in Claire and her family's lives.

Here is a little update on our lives this past year. 
We had a marvelous Family Reunion. Everyone had a great time, and there was a lot of cousin bonding. We are so grateful for every one of our six children and spouses, 32 Grandchildren, 5 Great Grandchildren.

Roger and I are thankful for our opportunity to continue serving as ordinance workers in the Jordan River Temple. Roger teaches the 7-year-olds In Primary. I continue to work in the Stake Relief Society Presidency. We aren’t sure that there is the word retire because we are busier than ever with Friends, Family, callings, and temple.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each of you! We treasure our many friendships. We have many fond memories.
Here are Claire and her mom, Ashley~

May the light of our Savior’s love linger forever within your homes.

Sending loving thoughts and hugs your way!  Roger and LeAnn Williams

"#Light The World With Love"

Each year The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints presents the a #Light The World Initiative. Everyday during the Christmas Season, we receive ideas on how we personally can light the world by doing acts of kindness. It is such a fun thing to do. 
I have always loved the Christmas Season and the Traditions that surround it. I love the time to worship and remember the sacred and divine birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the light and hope of the World. He loves each and everyone of us and desires that we return again to live with Him and our Heavenly Parents. #Because of Him, We will all be resurrected and through our choices in life we can learn of Him, Follow Him and Be Saved by Him. 
Today, I am sharing with you a beautiful video of the Nativity. It is a true portrayal of what the scriptures teach of His Birth. Take a moment and watch this; you will be happy you did.
Have a marvelous week of preparing for your own Christmas Celebration. Hugs for all!
