Easter

So we had a great 1st Easter this year. I am very much about the traditional cheesy stuff so I put together Easter baskets complete with candy the night before. I realize we don't have kids but it is still fun to do that kind of stuff. Sunday morning we watched the Testaments which for those of you not LDS is a story about the Nephites here in America waiting for Jesus to come and visit them. So it flashes back to Jerusalem where he is ministering. Then it goes through the crucifixion. The night before we watched Voyage of the Dawn Treader which is the latest installment of Chronicles of Narnia. So much symbolism in that movie and the two of them made me think about how glad I am for the Savior's sacrifice. He didn't have to do it but he chose to atone for us. It was a CHOICE. He could have stopped it at any time but HE loves us so much that he went through with the pain. So this Easter season as I have been pondering my life that is what I am the most grateful for. I am so not perfect and I need the atonement every day.
