On Sunday morning we got up early and got ready for church. We were ready about an hour early, so after we got ready we set out Abigail's Easter basket. My mother-in-law started a tradition with her boys when they were young and that was to put little bunny tracks leading up to their basket. So, of course we did the same for Abbey. It always turns out so cute! After she looked through her basket we went to church. After church we let Abbey take a nap. When she woke up we put the eggs in the yard and let her go. I could not believe how fast she took off. She bolted straight for the eggs and started throwing them in her basket all the while she was giggling and squealing. It was priceless.
And I just want to take a second to reflect on the true meaning of Easter. It's the fact that our Savior suffered for every one of our pains, transgressions, and feelings of inadequacy. We never have to be alone because he knows exactly what we are going through. He died for us and rose again so that we can one day be resurrected as well and return to live with him. I am so thankful for the ability I have to repent and become a better person and one day live with him again. I know that he lives and he loves each and every one of us.
"He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: "I know that my Redeemer lives!"
Beautiful
