Resurrecting Hope

So today is Easter! :) Obviously ;) Anyway, I've been thinking about my Savior today, and His influence on my life, what today really means and all that he has done for me. I've been so distracted by so many things lately, and I haven't focused on Him enough.

My reason for today's post is because my Savior was Resurrected. He lives, and I know it. Because of the atoning sacrifice, and resurrection, I know my sweet Andy will be perfected through Him, and receive eternal happiness forever. Andy is always on my mind. Sure, he's not my even front thought each day, but he's still in my head, and I don't think he'll ever leave. And I'm okay with that. I know his death has had an impact on me not expected of most people, but I really cared about Andy, and I loved him. I still do. I always will. So today, I'm extremely grateful, not only because my Savior died for my sins, and was resurrected as truth that one day I can be perfected like Him, but I'm extremely grateful because even though my sweet Andy didn't get to finish his life here on Earth, he'll still get to finish his life in a better surrounding, perfectly. I love my Savior for that.

"And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise." - (Moroni 7:41)

I have hope in the Atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection. It's unbelievable hope. This scripture fits today perfectly. And one last thing, for my sweet Andy, "You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming.. That's where I'll always love you.. That's where I'll be waiting." - Peter Pan
