Easter Sunday

What a great day to reflect on the death of our Savior. I love Easter because of the sense to renew this truth that Jesus lives and he is my Savior. As I have struggled with my own trials I have learned about the power of the Atonement and what it can do for me if I just use it. For some reason I never understood that power. I mean a few years ago I had to some serious repenting and I knew that through the Atonement I was forgiven, but I thought that was the only time that I could use it. Sort of like a token I used that token once and I couldn't use it again. It wasn't until after going through some therapy that I was enlightened to the fact that I can use it over and over again. That I have a bunch of tokens not just one chance to use it. This new light has helped me. I don't feel that the world or "my world" is so crazy anymore because I can use the Atonement. This might sound very silly to some but it's just what I have learned these last few months of my trial. I'm so grateful for my Savior. I know he lives and loves me too! He knows me personally and that is the best truth I could know.

I have to add another thing that I love about Easter is that my own birth of life was born on Easter Sunday. Jersey was born on Easter morning 2003. Granted it's not her birthday every Easter but it's nice to reflect the blessing that was given to me that Easter sunrise. Plus all the joy that she has brought since.
