CHRISTMAS DAY-Mt. Haleakala, AM

We thought taking in a sunrise on this special day, Christmas Day would be a nice way to give to Jesus today and show our gratitude by recognizing His hand in all creations.  What a great way to start the day.  God has given us so many things that remind us of His love for us, 
and sunrises and sunsets are my favorite!
But to take in a sunrise at the top you have to start at 4:30 AM. 
 And it is windy!  Look at Mariah's hair!
The missionaries were able to join a family on Christmas, so they went too.

(Jared, Rachel, Josh, Garth and Laneah)
It is also cold!  Yes, even on Maui.  It actually snows up here.
It is 10,000 feet up.  Laneah never even came out!


At this high up, the view is amazing!  
It is a cool feeling to be above the clouds. 
 Wow, one day I want to be above the clouds 
and see the universe with God-what a "perfect day".

Doctrine and Covenants 50:24

24 That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.


Wait for it....patience.
18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, 
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.


2 Peter 1:19

19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, 
as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, 
until theday dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:


God loves us!

What a glorious morning!  And it was with the family here. 
 I am so grateful I was able to share this with my children. 
 I hope they see the beauty of all God has blessed us with.
