watching the classic 1996 made-for-TV-movie “Christmas Every
Day.”))
If you're human, you've probably lazily
pondered at least once in a stray moment during the holidays what
life would be like if we could experience Christmas every day. Oh
the music! The food! Presents for everyone! The opportunities we
are afforded to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and
vainly, in our puny mortal ways, desperately attempt to honor and
appreciate Him through gifts and songs and service! Everything we
think, say, and do during the season brings us closer to Him and
fills our souls with joy. We yearn to learn more about Him and
understand His great love for us. How much more wonderful would our
lives be if we could live each day as if it were Christmas day?
The Mormon Third Eye staff, as a result
of recently completed several minutes of in-depth research, has
concluded that it is indeed possible to enjoy Christmas every day!
The formula is simple and possible to accomplish under the right
conditions:
First: Offer a personal, earnest,
meaningful prayer to your Heavenly Father. Elder Bednar calls them
“gut-wrenching.” Seek to emotionally and spiritually connect with
Him with a heart brimming with gratitude for the greatest gift of
all, the atonement of Jesus Christ, which allows us to repent our
sins, endure our sorrows, and return to Him. Feel His love for you.
Second: Sing a hymn. Full-time
missionaries and early morning seminary teachers get to do this
almost every morning.
Third: Serve someone in some way. Once
again, full-time missionaries and early morning seminary teachers
have an advantage here also.
The Mormon Third Eye is launching a
massive year-long research project looking for participants to test
the formula. If you want to be involved in this landmark research
study, contact the MTE via Facebook to sign up. If selected, you
should be willing to execute the formula and report how close that
day resembles Christmas day.
Next year for me will be Christmas
every day. I'll let you know how it goes. How about you?
