Have you seen this Easter video:
#Halleleujah
Honestly, we don’t say it enough in our church, I’m grateful it’s getting some voice time this Easter.
I remember we had an African American new convert in one of our wards. He’d give a “Thank you Jesus, Hallelujah” every now and then during his testimony. I loved it.
Because He came to earth and changed everything.
Hallelujah.
Because when I’m down and feeling so very low He gives me hope.
Hallelujah
Because when I can’t do anything for friends who are in turmoil, I know I can at least pray for them to have some peace and He can do that.
❤️ FAVORITE Disneyland HOTELS of Pulling Curls Readers ❤️
– The Clarion — The price can’t be beat!
– Anaheim Majestic – People love the free shuttle!
– Best Western Anaheim Inn — SO close and great!
– Castle Inn — A FAVORITE with little kids!
– Cambria Hotel – GREAT one for larger parties, and I love their price
Hallelujah
Because when it all boils down to the very bottom He will reunite me with those I love the very most. Heaven most certainly won’t be my heaven without those people. He has made that possible.
Hallelujah.
I’ve gotten a lot of flack from my Easter Advent post. I was criticized for calling it Advent when there is Lent. How I need to focus on his suffering for me and how sad Easter is.
** The LDS church doesn’t observe Lent. We do fast every month where we go 2 meals without food. We also have what most people consider a fairly strict moral and food code that we live by our entire lives.
Easter isn’t sad?! I find Easter to be the VERY most joy-filled and hopeful time of the year. He did it! He lived a perfect life, paid for our sins and we can all live with Him again! I suppose at the very surface, the fact that he did suffer is quite sad. I don’t like to think of that time. I hate to think of His suffering, and I don’t get the feeling that He wants us to dwell on the suffer part either. Men are that they might have joy. The joy He brings.
So, this week I challenge you to post on your social media something He has done for you. I’ll be doing it — using the hashtag #hallelujah. I’d love for you to tag me in yours.
Quite simply. He gives hope, He changes lives, He saves.
#Hallelujah
Final thought — This being Palm Sunday I am always struck by the two days within just a week where he is worshipped and then killed. I think it’s a good story to share with your teens that being good may sometimes be popular, and then not…. and Jesus understands that.
