When I was little, I never loved celebrating Easter. I didn't understand it. A holiday about eggs and bunnies? And Jesus' death mixed in the middle?
WHAT?!? I mean, I wasted no time searching for the hidden decorative eggs, eating all the candy and checking out what was inside my Easter basket, but I never fully understood what Easter meant. With growing up and getting more wisdom with age (I hope) I have found a new place for Easter in my heart. Easter is not the celebration of my Savior's death like I used to think, but rather of His Resurrection. The mere fact that he was able to overcome death is the greatest gift, for He gave us our Resurrection.
I am so excited to celebrate Easter this year with my Sweets to reflect on our Savior, His Resurrection and the Atonement. I have been planning many fun things for the up-coming HOLYDAY (holiday) to make it special for us. Our tummies and hearts will be full by the end of the day!
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" john 3:16
