In an effort to get caught up, I am going to keep this post short and sweet.
It is hard to believe that Easter was almost 2 months ago...time is flying by! We had a lovely Easter weekend full of festivities, including coloring Easter eggs, roasting hot dogs, and of course an Easter egg hunt.
Easter is one of my favorite holidays!
And let's not forget.....
Easter is a time to celebrate the miraculous resurrection of our Savior,
Jesus Christ. Because of the Savior’s resurrection, each of us will receive
immortal, resurrected bodies after we die. The Book of Mormon adds a clear
perspective of this truth:
“Now, this restoration shall come
to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the
wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their
heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is
now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of
Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal
God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether
they be evil.” –Alma 11:44
Easter is special because it reminds us of a new beginning to be had after
we depart from this life. Though only celebrated annually, we should thank God
our Father for the gift of His Son daily. Without Him, there would be no
purpose to life.
