Reason 18: Today I'm grateful for the birth of the Savior because it put a star in the night sky to lead the way towards Him. The wise men aren't the only ones who are supposed to follow that star; we should too. Though it may not be a literal light in the sky, there are lights in our lives that we need to follow. The temples light up--they are places we should gravitate towards and visit frequently. Our homes should light up with laughter, joy, and love--this is a place we need to gather together at as well. And then the light of Christ within each of us is the light we need to follow in everything we do, for it is His light and it will lead us in His way. We are not meant to travel through this life guessing which way to go. The way is clearly defined, and we follow it when we follow the stars--the beacons of light--that surround us.
“Lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them,
till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.” -Matthew 2:9-10
