This morning, I had the opportunity to sing "If The Savior Stood Beside Me" for my Mom in Primary as part of her sharing time lesson. Her lesson was on how thinking about Jesus can help us chose the right, and during her lesson, she shared something that I found rather insightful. If we imagine Jesus being near us, that can help us to be righteous, and being righteous can help us have Christ's spirit with us, which can continue to help us be righteous. All that it takes to get the cycle started is to make an attempt to be righteous, or to feel the spirit in such a way that inspires you to be righteous.
Christmastime is a great time to start or restart this cycle because the spirit id very strong this time of year, and there is lots of encouragement and many opportunities to do good. Let's try to catch the spirit of Christmas and see how long we can keep the cycle going. And if you ever break the cycle, you can restart it with a renewed commitment to do good. But once you've got the cycle started, it shouldn't be too hard to keep up. It's easier to do good when you have the spirit with you, and it's easy to have the spirit with you when you're doing good.
