Easter...

I've been thinking a lot lately about the different incidents that have been happening all over the world, from the wars and natural disasters happening in far off lands to intolerance and hatred occurring in our own country. These are the last days that the prophets having been foretelling for centuries.

 I feel like there are so many people out there that are bitter and without hope. Some question if  there is a God. Others go as far to ridicule those who do believe in a higher being.

I am so grateful for the faith and knowledge that I have. I know that there is a God, and that He is our loving Heavenly Father. He sent his son, Jesus the Christ, to earth to suffer and die for our sins, and for every trial, inadequacy, or sorrow we have ever felt. He did this because He loves us.

I'm grateful for my Savior's suffering and for His ressurection. It is through His love, humility, and sacrifice that we are able to return and live with our Heavenly Father some day.

I love Easter! I love that on this holy day we celebrate that He lives!

And, oh, how I love Him!
