Easter SUNday

Hi everyone. Today is Easter Sunday, and I have a few thoughts that I wanted to share about the Savior.

Every spring, when I can start going outside without bundling up, I love feeling the warmth of the sun on my body. It makes me look forward to summer hikes and seeing everything turn back to green. Colorado is a great place, but the winter doesn’t want to let go sometimes, so in between spring snowstorms, I appreciate the warm days.

Anyway, as I was outside enjoying some sun and pondering in the quiet, my thoughts went to Christ. He is the light that warms us all and changes our night into day and our winters into spring. He shines on all whether they accept that gift or not. But for those who embrace Him, He can take us away from the cold and darkness forever.

As I work on understanding how to truly feel the power of the atonement in my life, I am trying to visualize the Savior by my side during all my struggles and my triumphs. I know that He knows me and loves me and understands me. That is so comforting. He died so that I could live.

I am thankful that I can know Him, too, by study, prayer, and by trying to live like He did. The sun warms my skin, but the Son reaches deep into my heart and nourishes my soul.
