I love the sights and feelings that Easter and springtime bring! Yellow daffodils spring up, the grass becomes greener, tree buds begin to bloom...I think of renewal and rebirth. Around Easter time several years ago, my mom birthed a premature baby boy who only lived for minutes. This memory brings me peace every year as I think of his birth and his death, and the blessing of living again--as families!
Today, I came across this quote from Thomas S. Monson, the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:
"At this Easter season of hope and renewal we testify of the glorious reality of the atonement and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The empty tomb brought comforting assurance and provided the answer to the question of Job, “If a man die, shall he live again?” (Job 14:14).
"Because of the Savior’s resurrection we will overcome death and become the beneficiaries of His mercy and grace. In a world of trouble and uncertainty, His peace fills our hearts and eases our minds. Jesus is in very deed “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
"We give our sure witness that Jesus is the Christ. Though He was crucified, He rose triumphant from the tomb to our everlasting blessing and benefit. To each member of the human family He stands as our Advocate, our Savior, and our Friend."
