"Above all, we proclaim our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. All that we are—all that we will ever be—we owe to Him. While we gaze in awe at His majesty, He does not ask us to stay our distance but bids us to come unto Him. “I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20).
His words echo through the centuries:
“I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
“And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die” (John 11:25–26).
His words echo through the centuries:
“I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
“And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die” (John 11:25–26).
Brothers and sisters, He lives. He is resurrected.He guides His holy work upon the earth. His prophet is President Thomas S. Monson. I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
--Elder Neil L. Anderson
I love my Savior and I am grateful for the atonement and His triumph over death. He has invited everyone to come unto Him and promised to never leave us comfortless. This Easter as I have reflected on the blessings in my life I am grateful for His light and love which help me to strive each day to become more like Him.

I love you for all of the things you teach me!
Thanks for your thoughts (and Walter Rane). How comforting it is to know of Him and His Atonement. On Sunday morning, Dad and I were in the Bellagio, touring the fabulous conservatory (greenhouse) that was filled with gorgeous springtime flowers (tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, mums, dianthus, roses), including a French Garden and a Japanese garden (photos will be blogged shortly) and a butterfly house, as sunlight streamed through the ceiling. The feelings or renewal and resurrection flooded over me...quite an Easter moment.
