But this is who the weekend was really all about. Evan did an Easter lesson with his seminary class where he filled Easter eggs with symbols of Christ (bread, water, a rock, an olive, etc.) and after the kids found their egg they had to find a scripture to match it and then share the scripture and symbol along with their testimony of Jesus Christ. We did the same thing with my family after Easter dinner and I love the tradition we have started.
I am so grateful to my Savior for the atonement and for his resurrection, and I am amazed at the love and forgiveness he has for me and there is nothing that brings me more joy or more peace than the gospel. I know He is there to comfort me, to forgive me, and to make my weaknesses into strengths. I know that without Him I am nothing and that with Him I have the potential to become something great. I love the chance we had this weekend to remember the atonement and the resurrection, to remember the wounds in his hands and in his feet, to remember the good that he did while he was here on the earth, and to remember that our Savior is real and that He lives and that it is only through him that we can go home.
Happy Easter! |
