Happy Easter

I love Easter!  I love the sweetness that it brings.  Not the peeps and chocolate or the candy kind.  Those are all great, but the real sweetness is the gift our Savior, Jesus Christ gave to us.  He Lives!  He was resurrected and because he was resurrected so can we be. 


President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints said, "On Easter Sunday we celebrate the most long-awaited and glorious event in the history of the world. It is the day that changed everything. On that day, my life changed. Your life changed. The destiny of all God’s children changed. When I think of what the Savior did for us leading up to that first Easter Sunday, I want to lift up my voice and shout praises to the Most High God and His Son, Jesus Christ! The gates of heaven are unlocked! The windows of heaven are opened! Today and forevermore, God’s grace is available to all.”

I am so thankful for my knowledge of the Savior.  I am so grateful that he suffered for my sins so that I can be forgiven.  I am so happy that I get to live again with my family, that I will be able to see all those who have gone before me again.  I rejoice in the Savior and our Father in Heaven who loved us so much that they found a way for us to return to live with them again.  I love the peace and happiness that come from the gospel.  I know that He lives, that He loves us, and that He wants to help us.
