Easter

Happy Easter!!  I have done a lot of thinking about Easter and the resurrection this week.  In the past I always focused more on our Savior during Christmas than Easter.  I don't know why, but Easter this year really became a time that I reflected on the resurrection and all that means to our family.

My parents had a wonderful Easter celebration at their house.  They are the most generous, welcoming people I know.  Their home is always full of people, food and love.  They had friends over, Heather invited her friends, Danny invited a mission companion who just moved to San Francisco and the house was full of kids, food, fun, laughter and love.  It reminded me of the celebrations we will someday have in heaven with all those we love.  Those who have passed on and those who will pass on are only gone for a short time until we are with them again.  And that is all possible because of Christ and the resurrection.

I know we will be with Carl again in heaven. We are able to allow Tyler to live a normal childhood because we are not fearful of his heart condition.  It is such a marvelous miracle that we will all live again.   I am so grateful for that knowledge!  And thus so grateful to celebrate Easter which reminds us of this wonderful gift!

Beautiful thoughts Heidi. I think I come to appreciate the Atonement and the Savior's resurrection more and more every year. It is truly the most sacred event that has ever occurred in history.
We sure love your parents too. They have ALWAYS been so generous and kind to us, and it meant a lot that they'd always open up their home to us. You are awesome and you have an awesome family!
And for Danny: Yes, I think Jared was born that way. The more kids I have, the more I realize that they each come to earth with their distinct personality. A personality that they have been developing for millions of years before they even came to earth! I just lucked out that Jared's is so fabulous. :)
