He has Risen, He has Risen, tell it to all the world!

Today I received a text.

First what is a text, a message sent onto your cell phone, a written message from a friend.

The message wished me a Happy Easter.

I responded with my testimony of my Savior Jesus Christ. Today we had a wonderful Sacrament meeting, the members that were asked to bear their testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ.

I was reminded of the love our Savior has for each of us, his unconditional love, his sacrifice, so that we each can come to understand the plan we are all given here on earth.

We have choices to make, we can go and ask for help to keep us on the right path or we can say nay, I don't need anyone's help I can do it all myself.

If we choose to do it ourselves, then we will have a longer road. If we choose to ask for help and give service to others then our road will seem smoother and it will be peaceful even with trials that if we will listen he will help us everyday.

I read an old post today of a young baby of ten days old called home. Why would he be called home at only ten days. When you ask why sometimes you miss the reason of why he was here. He was here to bring joy to all who knew him. Yet when he was called home many asked why. Why not call him home, he had served his mission on earth. Why did he leave this family, he had given them joy and Heavenly Father knew they would be great parents to the other children he was going to send. The love his parents showed to everyone that knew them and others that learned of their loss, has touched many people they don't even know. That was the plan for their son to be called home. So they could be witnesses and testify that our Heavenly Father hears our prayers that he is there for us at all times.

We were very blessed this month, we had a beautiful baby girl born to our family. She is healthy and is loved by us all. She is the newest member of our family sent from heaven.

We also had a new life just beginning to grow and started to be excited to have another addition to our family in the fall. That ended and the wait for the passing seemed to take much longer. Yet, we had the chance to put the power of prayer to the test. Not to see if the prayers would be answered but to see if we had the faith in our Heavenly Father to answer them.

So I testify today that I know that with faith and with prayer he does know our hearts, but he knows us more if we are on our knees and if we are asking with a sincere heart. He has brought peace to my heart and he has strengthened my faith in prayer. It is so important to pray daily. To remind us that we are not on this journey by ourselves. We are on this journey with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ together with us.

May we always strive each day to testify of our Savior Jesus Christ, that we will remember our prayers for guidance and thanksgiving from our Heavenly Father.

xoxo
