Easter morning.

...and Easter meanings...

For some of us, Easter has meaning in a couple of different ways.

As parents, we find meaning in helping the Easter Bunny do special things for our kids

Before "The Bunny":


After "The Bunny":


As children, Easter means candy and Easter Egg hunts.



Sometimes Easter means hunting eggs to the dog, too...

Even Milo helps:

All the eggs are found and the kids are happy...


For me, all these things make celebrating Easter fun. However, what Easter truly means to me was recently expressed most beautifully by our late Prophet, President Gordon B. Hinckley. He said, speaking of Jesus Christ:

"He is the Son of the living God, the Firstborn of the Father, the Only Begotten in the flesh. He is "risen from the dead...the firstfruits of them that slept".... He is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. I believe in Him. I declare His divinity without equivocation or compromise. I love Him. I speak the name of Jesus Christ in reverence and wonder. He is our King, our Lord, our Master, the living Christ, who stands on the right hand of His Father. He lives! He lives, resplendent and wonderful, the living Son of the living God."



To this I can only say 'Amen' and wish you all a very blessed and Happy Easter.
