Easter Sunday

This is really not like me to share these things on my blog, but I feel greatly inspired by today's general conference and feel that it would be ungrateful not to share my feelings. Our Prophet's talk was so touching and beautiful. He did not say anything that we have not learned before but he said it with such conviction and faith that there is not denying the truth in his words. I know that my Savior died for me so that I too can be resurrected someday! He lives!! He loves each of us so unconditionally. One of the Elders today said something on how the Savior loves our children so much more than even we do. That really opened my eyes...yes I know that this is not a new concept. But as I sat in my car the other day looking back in the mirror at my two girls, I felt such an overwhelming feeling of love and gratitude for them. Words cannot describe the feelings I have for my family. Then today, hearing that He loves them even more than I could ever love them seems so amazing. He loves us and I know that He has taken on all of our sins for us. I am a person who is not exactly proud of some of the mistakes I have made in my life, But I have felt the overwhelming love and forgiveness of our Savior. I know that He is waiting for all of us to come to Him with open arms. He wants us to return to Him someday. These words have helped me so much in my life and I feel that I can overcome anything as long as I keep faith in them. I love this gospel and know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and He loves us.
