The "easter bunny" was up quite late last night getting everything together for this morning. There were plastic eggs to stuff and hide. There were little goodie baskets to put together though I didn't actually mess with baskets. I really just set up three different goodie stations. Don't know if that even makes sense. Anyhow, I got it all together and then got to bed a little after 2 AM. I pushed sleep as long as I could and we got up and the kids started hunting around 8. It was a quick hunt and I had to give some hints on a few eggs that were not found. It was good and the kids seemed happy. We then raced to get ready for church and then got over to church just as the meeting began at 9. I suppose I could have done something to make the morning more special but the kids had fun and all was well.
We had a great Sacrament meeting today and it helped me to ponder the Savior and his love for each of us. Truly his life was a gift and the blessings of the resurrection that we celebrate this Easter Sunday are wonderful. I am so very grateful for a loving Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ. What a blessing it has been in my life to have a testimony of the Gospel and of the Savior. Through times of struggle and tribulation it is that testimony that I have turned to and it has helped me as my faith in Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ have lifted me out of darkness. I am humbled and grateful for the Savior. I know he lives and I know he loves each of us.
This evening we went over to the folks house and enjoyed a family Easter feast. It was good. We invited Annie Draper to join us as she was home alone today. She said she was feeling lonely and was happy to come and hang out with us. It was a good time. Had fun playing with my kids and with the three nephews in attendance. They are good kids and such a source of joy. Grateful for these wonderful spirits and grateful to have enjoyed a wonderful Easter Sunday.
