Easter Sunday...
Happy Easter!
What a beautiful day it is here! The grass is finally starting to green up, the sun is shining... we had to leave FL to get shining sun!
I've been wanting to take photos of my boys together... to document their birthdays.
This morning was our morning... and while we're at it, we grabbed all the kids together... then I had M snap one of me and my kids.
I love these little people. They are my everything. They are my world right now. I am so blessed to have each and every one of them. They fill my life with joy! (Well, apparently my daughter doesn't feel the same about me... after putting her in timeout, for kicking her brother, she told me her 5th grade teacher is a better mother to her than I.) Oh the drama... wonder if her 5th grade teacher would be interested in a trade! :)
I love Easter. I love my Savior. I am thankful for the promise to all of us, to again be reunited with our bodies, to be resurrected. I am also utterly grateful for the atonement, that makes it possible for the repentant to be made clean, whole, joyful and complete. This part of the atonement makes it possible for me to live in the presence of my Father in Heaven for eternity, to have eternal life, as I claim that through making and keeping His covenants.
This video is circulating... it's pretty great, although I feel they sort of left out the part of 'this Carpenter' being divine... the Son of God.
This little bit of information brings depth to His choice. He didn't have to die, as the Son of God, he had power over death... but we did not, thus his choice, for us.
As the Son of God he didn't fall to temptation, didn't feel the grossness of sin, but dwelt in that space, alone, burdened completely by all of the yuck of humanness, willingly, for us. His purpose? To pay the price of those sins, that imperfection, so we don't have to, if we repent. He bridges the gap to cleanliness, purity, perfection, whole... so we can be worthy to enter back into God's presence.
Awwwe Easter!
