December 3

There is no miracle comparable to the miracle of Christ himself .... Here is something more than a babe in a manger; here is the Creator of all that is good and beautiful. I have looked at majestic mountains rising high against the blue sky and thought of Jesus, the Creator of heaven and earth. I have stood on the sand of an island in the Pacific and watched the dawn rise like thunder, a ball of gold surrounded by clouds of pink and white and purple, and thought of Jesus, the Word by whom all things were made and without whom was not anything made that was made. I have seen a beautiful child, bright-eyed, innocent, loving and trusting and marveled at the majesty and miracle of creation.

~Gordon B. Hinckley
