Sunday

My Favorite Sunday

Easter Sunday is my Favorite Sunday of the Year.  I love the feeling I get on this day.  I love thinking of Jesus Christ and the love He has for each and every one of us.  I feel sad about all the things that happened the last week of His life but those things also bring me peace. His love and life give us all hope....hope of returning to our Heavenly Parents again and being with our families forever.  I love the thought of the resurrection...what a glorious thing.  This holiday probably doesn't get enough attention for what a HUGE event it represents.  I enjoy the fun traditions we have but really as a whole I don't focus on the greatness of Easter like I really should.  Maybe I need to change things up a little and do a few more things before Easter to give attention to this day.  It's such a special day!

I remember as a little girl I knew that this day was special.  Even then I felt a difference in my soul.  It's a reverent feeling...so surreal....and one of beauty.  I love attending Church and hearing the messages of our Savior on Easter.  It's truly my favorite.

We didn't have a house full for dinner today.  Jaydan and Gramps joined us but it was enjoyable having them over.  Since it was quiet and we had time we decided that we would go visit Larry's mom.  We had a nice visit with her and then as we were leaving I felt like we should go check on the twins.

When we got there they were getting the kids ready for bed and I guess we just missed a lot of  tension.  Kevin said he was just thinking that the twins could use a blessing since they were both feverish and he was thinking about calling one of his brothers or dad.  Then the thought came to him that it would be cool if someone got a prompting and just showed up.  Hmmmmm....about that time we knocked.  Jared and Larry helped give the twins blessings and we came home.

Larry had another prompting today.  He felt like he was suppose to invite a young, single mom that lives in our ward to church along with her little girl.  He put it off but kept having the feeling he was to invite them.  Finally he text Erin and when she text him back she thanked him but also told him that Reese was at her fathers and the pick up time was during that time.  Larry told me about it and said he wondered why he felt so prompted to invite him.  I thought of my experience earlier this week and told him "maybe to see if you would."

This is what our baskets looked like this year!  I didn't fill the married kids for the first time.  I think it's time to give them their buckets to enjoy in their homes now.  It's always so weird knowing what to do and when to stop doing.
