Happy Easter!

Growing up my parents told us right out of the gate that there was no such thing as the Easter Bunny.  There were a couple of reasons why
1. My sister wouldn't get out of bed on Easter morning because she thought the giant rabbit was still in our house
2. The whole idea of a giant rabbit in general is a little deranged (with the exception of Flemish Giants because they are ADORBS)
3.  There is a deeper and far more powerful and beautiful reason for Easter.
Words can not express how grateful I am for the Savior and his atoning sacrifice for me.  ME! I thought I'd share a video with you of some truly heartfelt words spoken by Jeffrey R. Holland



Enjoy your Easter Sunday!  Whether it be filled with family and friends or even alone....I hope that it is truly a beautiful day for you all!

Easter

"...may we ever reflect our gratitude for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  His glorious gospel provides answers to life's greatest questions.  Where did we come from?  Why are we here?  Where do our spirits go when we die?  That gospel brings to those who live in darkness the light of divine truth.

He taught us how to pray.  He taught us how to live.  He taught us how to die.  His life is a legacy of love.  The sick He healed, the downtrodden He lifted, the sinner He saved.

Ultimately, He stood alone.  Some Apostles doubted; one betrayed Him.  The Roman soldiers pierced His side.  The angry mob took His life.  There yet rings from Golgotha's hill His compassionate words: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

Who was this 'man of sorrows,... acquainted with grief?  Who is this King of glory, this Lord of lords? 

He is our Master.  He is our Savior.  He is the Son of God.  He is the Author of Our Salvation.  He beckons, 'Follow me.' He instructs 'Go, and do thou likewise."' He pleads, 'Keep my commandments.'

Let us follow Him.  Let us emulate His example.  Let us obey His words.  By doing so, we give Him the divine gift of gratitude."

-Thomas S. Monson

I hope we all remember the greatest act of love anyone has ever known today.

Happy Easter
