It'a a beautiful day in the neighborhood....

Today the sun is shining and it feels warmer than usual, yay! I love springtime. I have been seeing Robins in our trees. Isn't that a sure sign that spring is on it's way? I love the feel of everything becoming new again. There is nothing better than seeing the mountains and trees become green and lush. It just does my heart good. I love all the seasons, but spring is probably my favorite, just because of what it represents, a rebirth and newness of life, just like the resurrection of our Savior. I like all the reminders of Him. I just expect good things to happen for me and everyone else. I saw on the news a woman from Logan, speaking about the recent death of her soldier husband serving in Iraq. She spoke of his desire to serve his country, because of all the blessings we American's have to preserve. I felt so sad for her loss, but so grateful for her husband being willing to "lay down his life for a friend." I am so grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and the resurrection from the dead and even though I cannot fully comprehend what He did for me, I enjoy being reminded everyday, by the wonders of His hand. I'm going to try a little harder to show gratitude for this and enjoy Easter, hopefully, with new eyes and understanding. The only thing we really have to offer that is just ours alone is our willingness to follow Him. Have a wonderful, almost spring day!
