This year for Easter we are focusing more on learning more about the Savior and His atonement. During Holy Week we have been watching a series called Messiah on BYUtv. Having finished viewing the published episodes of The Chosen , we are learning from a scholarly 7-part study about the identity and role of Jesus Christ. We invite you to come and share the information about the Messiah, as the world prepares for His Second Coming that will usher in a millennium of peace on earth. The more we learn about Him, the more we love Him.
In addition to studying about Jesus, we will be participating in the activities and traditions that our family has shared over the years in celebration of Easter.
One of our neighbors from Africa, recently gave birth to a baby boy. To celebrate with them, we made sets of Easter Miracle Eggs for their 4-year-old daughter and one for another family with children.
Tucked into each of the dozen eggs are scriptures and small items that represent the events of Holy Week, and the great sacrifice Jesus made for each of us.
This time of year is tender for us, our beloved Mom finished her work on the earth 3 years ago today. We lovingly remember her and all she did for her family.
It is fitting that the Lord who provided resurrection for each, of us took Mama home at the time we remember His great love and sacrifice. He granted priesthood authority to His followers on the earth to bind and seal us together forever as families. It will be a joyous day when we are reunited with our loved ones who have passed before us.
