Just in time for Easter. All month we (Me, My husband, My parents, and sisters and their husbands) have been teaching our children about why we really celebrate Easter. It's not about the "Easter Bunny", candy, coloring Easter eggs, going on a hunt for them, decorating the house, new Sunday clothes, bunnies, little fuzzy chicks.
Although those things are cute and fun, We celebrate the Atonement of Christ, the death of Christ, and Most of All the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Knowing how much he loves each and everyone of us, that he would go through so much pain in Gethsemane, taking upon himself all the sins of the world. Dieing on a cross so that He could be risen, so that we may live again with our Heavenly Father. This is why we celebrate Easter in my home. I am so grateful to have the Gospel in my life, and the scriptures in my home, so that I can teach my children the things which I have been taught and know to be true. I love this time of year, when I can ponder on the beautiful things in this world, and our Brother Jesus Christ, who love me enough to take all my sins away and to die for me, that I might live with Him again.
Happy Easter
