Easter Sunday

Each and every year I feel that the meaning of Easter is always behind the main thing tend to look forward to, a bunny visiting to deliver goodies, when realistic this day is celebrated for all of the things our Savior has done for us and what he did for us. That we can make mistakes and repent so that we can return to him one day.

He Is Risen

A testimony of the reality of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a source of both hope and determination. And it can be so for any child of God. It was for me on a summer day in June 1969 when my mother died, it has been all the years since, and it will be until I see her again.

 

Sadness from the temporary separation was immediately replaced with happiness. It was more than a hope for a happy reunion. Because the Lord has revealed so much through His prophets and because the Holy Ghost has confirmed the truth of the Resurrection to me, I can see in my mind what it will be like to be reunited with our sanctified and resurrected loved ones:

 

“These are they who shall come forth in the resurrection of the just. …

“These are they whose names are written in heaven, where God and Christ are the judge of all.

“These are they who are just men made perfect through Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, who wrought out this perfect atonement through the shedding of his own blood” (D&C 76:65, 68–69).

 

In the end the little hoppity bunny found its way to our house to deliver some little goodies.

 

 

What a fun, peaceful day.
