Easter

This morning the sun came streaming in our window and woke me up. The bright beauty of the sun is how I imagined the first Easter day was. I have been thinking about how important Easter is to me all day and how I could express my testimony on this blog. I think the time I felt the atonement touch my heart most was when I went to the temple before I got married. I was there for the first time and realized that the only reason I was able to be in such a pure in holy place was because of repentance. I wish I could describe this feeling I had of sitting there in the beautiful white surroundings and have the warmth of forgiveness wash over me. I had the sweet spirit remind me that because of Jesus Christ I could come to the temple. There I was able to worship and come closer to Heavenly Father and I could be sealed to me wonderful husband for time and all eternity. The atonement gives us the chance to have a peace in our hearts. It gives us the opportunity to be clean of our sins. I am so grateful for that peace and knowledge that Christ's sacrifice was for me individually.
