Walk with Christ

December is CRAZY. Believe me. I know first hand. It's sad to think that the one time of year that we should be most focused on Christ is the time of year when He is most easily forgotten. For our December Enrichment we started a 14 day "Walk With Christ" program with the sisters in our Ward. The Enrichment Committee made 80 of these booklets for containing stories, questions and journal pages to read and ponder each day.
in the middle of our fourteen day journey we had a Progressive Dinner. We met at the church for hot chocolate and then each sister was given a set of three homes to visit. One for salads and rolls, the next for the main course (turkey, potatoes and veggies) and then a final home for dessert. (We had seven homes running at one time so that our group sizes would stay under 10 people at a time.)

It was a logistical nightmare to get it all coordinated but in the end it was worth it. We live in a ward that has divided three times since we moved here and we finally have small enough numbers that we all SHOULD know each other. This dinner gave people an opportunity to sit down in small groups and really get better acquainted.
Yesterday we had the priesthood and the Young Women help us out with the primary and nursery so that we could have all the sisters together for a special lesson and testimony meeting to close our Fourteen day walk. It was a wonderful time to reflect on our blessings and the joy that Christ brings into our lives.
