Easter 2016

Our Easter activities this year included dying eggs at my mom's and an egg hunt in the park.  Leila couldn't pick up eggs fast enough while Ellie was perfectly content to just have one in each hand.  

Easter is such a special time of year.  It provides a time to reflect on the marvelous, amazing sacrifice of Jesus Christ.  In the words of Elder Neal A. Maxwell, "Christ's victory over death ended the human predicament.  Now there are only personal predicaments, and from these too we may be rescued by following the teachings of him who rescued us from general extinction."

I am so grateful for the light the Gospel brings to my life.  There is so much uncertainty, depression, anger, and hate in the world today.  And life throws curve balls all the time.  But through it all, the truths of the Gospel remain constant.  And this provides a lifeline for me in the midst of everything else.
