Spring!

What a beautiful time of year! Spring is finally here! After a long cold winter the flowers and animals are starting to come out again. The trees are budding and the grass grows greener and greener. We are approaching Easter and we are again reminded of our Savior Jesus Christ's Atonement and Resurrection. Through his sacrifice for us we are able to have eternal life and live with our families and our Heavenly Father again.
May we each remember the love that our Heavenly Father has for us individually. May we each try every day to be a little better, try a little harder to be more Christ like, and love one another more deeply and willingly. Let us make this time of life our own personal spring, to use the atonement to become clean again. We read in D&C 18:10-13
10 Remember the aworth of bsouls is great in the sight of God;
 11 For, behold, the Lord your aRedeemer suffered bdeath in the flesh; wherefore he csuffered the dpain of all men, that all men might repent and ecome unto him.
 12 And he hath arisen again from the dead, that he might bring all men unto him, on conditions of brepentance.
 13 And how great is his ajoy in the bsoul that crepenteth!
After Christ was resurrected he visited the Nephites, He asked them to bring all their little children to him that they would sit in front of him, then he knelt and prayed to our Heavenly Father. This is a good time to make sure that we are remembering that we are all praying together in our families daily; morning and night. If we do this we will feel more in tune with the Holy Ghost and more unified as a family. The love in our homes will grow and we will be able to become more like our Savior Jesus Christ.
