This particular Easter has been a time of pondering for me. There is so much pain in the world around us, and especially for several people close to me and I feel my heart ache. Yet I know that we have a Heavenly Father who loves us and has a plan for us. I know this as I study his scriptures, I know this as I pray to him and strive to develop a deeper understanding of my relationship to him, I know this as I feel his sweet love for me and my family from those around me. The Lord loves us and knows that for us to grow and become the great and valiant spirits he sees us to be that we must suffer trials, we must be refined. Through this refining, we have the gift of Christ by our side, having suffered all that we could possibly suffer, and yet he is always there beside us, unlike his last bit of time on this earth before he was crucified. I love this video that I have found and wanted to share with those who are dear to me. What a gift we have been given, true joy is possible, it is accessible, it is ours to have. I feel so grateful to know that our Lord, Jesus Christ, was willing to suffer and die for us, that we may have the eternal blessings that we could not possibly obtain for ourselves. Oh what a sweet feeling it is.
May each of you feel the spirit of Easter, the love of our Savior Jesus Christ, as you ponder and find joy in his sacrifice for each one of us.

I enjoyed reading your testimony and feelings on the Savior. Thank you for your example. What a beautiful video clip.
ReplyDeleteTo post a youtube video, you copy the code from the right of the video at youtube.com and paste it into your blog. I think it's called embedding.

Thank you. I had never heard that clip in that depth. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for who you are and for having been given the privilege of being your mother. We do a little, if we can, we parents. We give what we have. Later, as they grow older, we look at the precious humans our children were all along. Then we stand amazed at who was under our care.
Thank you for all you have always contributed to our family and the world, Maren. I love you so much.
Love, Mom
