- Advertisment - LDS Bookstore Jewelry

Here’s your daily dose of what matters most! By transporting ourselves to the Bethlehem stable, we can recognize the true gift of our Savior.

Scripture

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.—Luke 2:12

Quote

When we figuratively transport ourselves to the Bethlehem stable, “where God in the nighttime hours already rests upon the straw,” we can recognize better the Savior as a gift from a kind, loving Heavenly Father.—Dale G. Renlund
