Day 2- The Evergreen Tree

The evergreen tree, to me this represent a few things about the Savior. First, it is always green no matter what time of year. When you see an evergreen tree you know what to expect. The Savior is constant and never failing. He is always there for us no matter the season. Second the needles of the tree point upward reminding us to look to Heaven for guidance. Third its’ roots are deep and can withstand heavy storms in the mountains. We, like the evergreen tree, need to have deep roots with our testimony of the Gospel to withstand the temptations that come at us every day. We bring these trees into our home at Christmas time. We decorate them with lights, with precious ornaments, and we place gifts under it. May we always remember that Christ is the “light of the world” (John 8:12) and has given us the most precious gift of all, the gift of eternal life (D&C 14:7).
