I am a big fan of Easter. Yes, spring is wonderful with all its new beginnings, but what I love most about Easter is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If you are not religious and are not interested in religious things this post may not be for you. One of my favorite memories as a kid was always Easter Sunday. We always had a great day at church, and I always got a new fancy dress. Then we would come home, eat dinner as a family, and read the scriptures on the crucifixion and resurrection. It always filled my soul to know my Savior loved me enough to give his own life so I could live mine. I'm not going to lie: getting candy was sweet! Easter is an all-around great holiday that brings us into the warmer months, and brings new life. Just today we had a funny incident. We went outside to see a small tail sticking out of our grill. Flipping open the lid, we saw a nest of baby squirrels. Honestly these things that happen to my family have always cracked me up, but this one may take the cake. Instead of trying to remove them, they were big enough that if we just left the grill open we figured they would move. And move they did. Easter is more then just candy, bunnies, spring, and cute little new animal babies. It is first and foremost about Jesus Christ, so sometime today take a few moments to give thanks for all the blessings you have, including the life Heavenly Father gave you.
I hope everyone's Easter is wonderful!
