Among the most cherished thoughts and writings in this world is the divine statement of truth: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
This precious Son, our Lord and Savior, atoned for the sins of all mankind. That memorable night in Gethsemane His suffering was so great, His anguish so consuming that He pleaded, "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." Later, on the cruel cross, He died that we might live, and live everlastingly. Resurrection morning was preceded by pain, by suffering in accordance with the divine plan of God. Before Easter, there had to be a cross. The world has witnessed no greater gift, nor has it known more lasting love.
The message of Easter is that the Savior lives! And because He lives all shall indeed live again. This knowledge provides the peace for loved ones of those who have passed on, "Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: 'I know that my Redeemer lives!'"

Thank you for your beautiful testimony! I love Easter weekend! What a joyous time to celebrate our Savior and the many gifts that are in our life!
Stacey, I want you to know that I am another among many that admire you and your strength. I bet there are times you feel weak, but you don't break. You are doing what you know to be best for you and your family and you are always thinking of yourself last. What amazing qualities you have that your kids will grow up having. This is the last thing on your mind, but someone will be lucky and cherish you for the beautiful person you are because you deserve that and nothing less. They will love the Savior just as you do. Keep him close as you are and you will never fall. I miss you lady. Stay strong.
