The Savior Lives

This Easter season has been special to us because Emily is at just the right age to learn about Christ and gain a testimony of Him. Children have such strong faith and absorb everything we teach them. I want my kids to think of Easter and think about why we honor this day. I want them to know it is not because of candy, or a tall bunny that sneaks into our homes and yards and leaves candy--I want them to know that we honor this day because Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world died for each of us and that he lives and loves each of us. I cannot fully comprehend what he did for us and I cannot fully understand the pain he went through, but I can do all that I can to be like him at all times and in all things. I try, not that I succeed every minute of everyday, but the fact is I try and I give it all I have got. I try to teach my children about Christ and show them how much I love him. This video touches my heart and I was able to watch it with Emily, even at 4 years old of age she gasped when they drove nails through His hands and wanted to know why they did that. It is not why they did that, but THAT he did it. My answer was simply "HE DID that because he loves you and wants to live with you again." 

May we all know that he loves us and will be forever at our side if we will just let him in.
