Happy Easter

I love Easter! I love it because its means SPRING is here, easter egg hunts, and Easter Candy is the best! We had fun with Gracie putting on an easter egg hunt and eating sweets! But as with other holidays, we always try to remember and celebrate the true meaning and significance which can be easily lost in this world.

As I have taken the time to ponder on the birth, life and death of the Savior. I am filled with gratitude for the Plan of Salvation and for all He has done to make it possible to return to our Heavenly Father. I remember during our trip to Isael my favorite place to see was the Garden Tomb. In the middle of this amazing garden full of vibrant colored flowers, plants, and trees, was the ancient tomb where he laid. It was so beautiful! There was a feeling that you could not deny. It was a feeling of triumph and a feeling of peace to know that because he was resurected, so shall we!



I really enjoyed this special Easter Message the First Presidency gave.
"At this Easter season of hope and renewal we testify of the glorious reality of the atonement and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The empty tomb brought comforting assurance and provided the answer to the question of Job, “If a man die, shall he live again?” (Job 14:14).

Because of the Savior’s resurrection we will overcome death and become the beneficiaries of His mercy and grace. In a world of trouble and uncertainty, His peace fills our hearts and eases our minds. Jesus is in very deed “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

We give our sure witness that Jesus is the Christ. Though He was crucified, He rose triumphant from the tomb to our everlasting blessing and benefit. To each member of the human family He stands as our Advocate, our Savior, and our Friend."
