Happy Easter


        

Here's part of an Easter message from President Monson. I hope we can all remember our Savior at this joyous springtime of the year, and consider one or two ways we can bring the power of the Atonement into our lives:

"We laugh, we cry, we work, we play, we love, we live.  And then we die...
And dead we would remain but for one Man and His mission, even Jesus of Nazareth...

With all my heart and the fervency of my soul, I lift up my voice in testimony as a special witness and declare that God does live.  Jesus is His Son, the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh.  He is our Redeemer; He is our Mediator with the Father.  He it was who died on the cross to atone for our sins.  He became the firstfruits of the Resurrection.  
Because He died, all shall live again.
I declare my personal witness that death has been conquered, victory over the tomb has been won.  May the words made sacred by Him who fulfilled them become actual knowledge to all.  Remember them.  Cherish them.  Honor them.  He is risen."

Love to all, 
Gramps

P.S.  Thanks to Linds for the email about the Atonement she sent to us all.
