This Easter season my heart is full of so much gratitude for my loving Savior. We missed out on going to the Easter Pageant this year, which makes me very sad but there is always next year. As I sat in sacrament meeting today I have never felt the spirit so much as I listened to the wonderful talks given of the Saviors life. I got the chance to hear from our young home teacher and our new YW leader and her husband. Certain things hit me in a different way today. My heart has been extremely full all day. Sure it was fun to see what the "Easter Bunny" left me this morning and to hunt for eggs with my brother and sister but the best thing of all was feeling my Saviors love for me. These past couple months have been some rough ones, but they have only gotten easier as I've turned to my Savior. I've experienced the Atonement in a different way and I have come to know of his great love for me. He die for us and he felt our every pain. He calms the storms that we face daily if we ask in faith. He is there to comfort with times get tough. When the world runs out on us he will ALWAYS be there. Never have I felt his hand so much in my life these past couple months. I love my Savior and I'm thankful for the price he paid for me and for this Easter season where I can be reminded of the Atonement.
I love Easter so much! It's a time for me to be with family and to learn and grow with them as we express our love to each other about our Savior. This year we had a family BBQ, egg coloring contest and egg hunt at my grandparents. Unfortunately we were only able to have 3 out of our 7 families join us but the others were there with us in spirit. My favorite part about that night was dancing in the rain with most of my cousins and laughing till we had nothing left. Then on Sunday we met my dad's family out at Phoenician for Easter brunch. Oh how I love spending time with my older cousins!
This Easter was truly the best!!
