Human Orbits.

I just watched The Nativity Story which is a wonderfully done film about, of course, the Savior's birth. When the star appeared above the stable where Jesus was born, I thought back to a quote about that star that had really impressed me. It took a little searching but I finally found it:

“The same God that placed that star in a precise orbit millennia before it appeared over Bethlehem in celebration of the birth of the Babe has given at least equal attention to placement of each of us in precise human orbits so that we may, if we will, illuminate the landscape of our individual lives, so that our light may not only lead others but warm them as well.”

-Elder Maxwell

I absolutely love this quote. We each have a divine mission here on earth. Our Heavenly Father has placed us in a precise "human orbit" so that we can complete our mission while also leading others to Christ with the light inside of each of us. This is a beautiful message to ponder, especially during this Christmas season.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
