Thank you

     I hurried off to the grocery store last night with no kids to pick up a handful of things I had been needing. It was 9:45 pm as I strolled my buggy to my car, and started loading up. It was quite dark, not much light from the parking lot lamp was reaching me. I was trying to hurry, and looked up in time to see a man, bulky and a little older than me, walking towards me. Well, he was walking past my car, and then noticed that I was there, dropping bags of groceries into the back seat.
     "Let me take that for you, when you're done," I heard him say. Thank you so much! I had three more bags to get, and then I passed the buggy on to him. He took it and rolled it to the cart drop for me. As I was pulling out of the parking lot, I felt really grateful that there are nice gentlemen still out there. I appreciated it. It was late, and dark, and I was rushing to get home to my family. And I just thought that was the nicest thing. Thank you again.

Easter!!

     Easter is one of my favorite times of year. Trees and gardens are blossoming, The sun is shining, and the weather is mostly pleasant. And Easter is a time when I can reflect on the blessings I have in my life because of Jesus Christ. He was crucified, and suffered the Atonement for my sins. Then, on that first Easter morning, He was resurrected, conquering physical death. I know that He lives. I am thankful for the gift that He has given me, that I may live again as well. I love Easter because it reminds me of the very real miracle of the Atonement. Jesus Christ offers a way that I may be forgiven of my sins and mistakes so that I, too, can be found spotless before God. I also love that the meaning of the days is not as commercialized as one of my other favorite holidays centered around the Savior. What a blessing that we can reflect on the gift of Life when everything is awakening from a wintry slumber.
