Happy Blessed Easter!!

      Yes, the day is about over, but I feel I would be remiss if I did not wish you all a very happy and blessed Easter! And who says we can't enjoy that Easter spirit the whole month of April?!?! How about the whole year?!?!? How about for the rest of our lives?!?!  After all Easter represents one of the greatest gifts that the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, (and our Heavenly Parents) gave to us. This last week has been the celebration, so to speak, of all He did for us from suffering for our every sorrow, pain, sin, grief, etc., to giving His life upon the cross. And then on this joyous day of Easter, He took the body, that went through all of that for us, back again, Never ever to have to deal with that pain in the same way again. And giving us the gift of repentance, resurrection, and eternal life IF we choose to follow the path He has outlined for us very clearly in the scirptures and through the modern guidance of our beloved Prophet and Apostles, as well as other leaders, who spoke to us today. Oh, my dear friends, my dear brothers and sisters, how very very blessed we are to have Him as the example to follow in our lives. May we do so every day to the best of our ability, remembering that He does understand and He sees our true desires and efforts and with patience and love He will continue to help us overcome our weaknesses, IF we choose to do so, in order to become like Him someday!!!
