Sadly I am not Mormon yet this message spoke volumes of earnest meaning to me when I was least able to allow myself to accept or welcome it, and for that I am grateful. As a result, I now feel inspired and worthy to extend Christmas charity, small and humble as it is, without embarrassment or shame that it is not more than what I can afford in this lean year to share.. I feel worthy to offer this message to my teenage children, knowing that they will not find it sentimental nor melodramatic but genuine and heartfelt, deserving of reflection and action. In short, here is true inspiration for all -because it is is prompted by pure goodness and the loving spirit of the Lord. Thank you for this gift.
Glor, thank you for your heartfelt comment.
Where do I find this talk by President Monson
Lloyd,
I think this may include compilations of various talks, but I found a couple links that had some of the quotes:

Hope this helps.
