Usually about the middle of February when the snow starts to melt I start looking for the flowers to pop their leaves above the dirt and I continue to inspect the various trees and bushes for signs of their survival. When I notice the first signs I greet each plant with a tender touch and greeting, "You survived the winter" :o)
Yes I talk to my plants and let them know how beautiful they are. It encourages them!
Then I get tender feelings in my heart because of this renewal as I realize the reality of the Resurrection. This past week I thought of this event and some of the people I will be reunited with in that glorious day.
Here are a few.
My Mother and Father
Alan's Mother and Father
Grandma and Grandpa
My sister Jean and her husband Billy
My brother Roy and his wife Frances
Alan's brother Roy
Alan's sister Marjorie
My sister-in-law Maureen
Alan's cousin Margaret
My friend Doris
Our two precious angels Christopher and Ashleigh
How grateful I am for the Plan of Salvation, for my Saviour's sacrifice, and the promise that
"FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER"

Now that's the blog post of the year. Thanks Mom!
Thanks mom. What joy this sentence gives... I know that my Redeemer lives.
I love when you post family pictures that I've never seen!
I love YOU! Thank you ;)
"He is risen! He is risen!
He hath opened heaven’s gate.
We are free from sin’s dark prison,
Risen to a holier state.
And a brighter Easter beam
On our longing eyes shall stream."
Because He conquered death you have a great reunion to look forward to. I have a great reunion to hope for. Happy Easter Mom!
Thank you. I needed this today.
That was emotional. Seeing all of those faces certainly makes it more of a reality. I too have these thoughts each spring as I see the world "come back to life". Thanks for sharing. It was very tender.
Very touching Mum. It's a good looking group of folks. You neglected to mention that you'll receive perfect hips on that day as well.
Such a great blessing to know families are forever
You have an amazing family. I think of you and your husband often as I envision what type of parents/grandparents I would like my husband and I to be in 20-40 years.
What an amazing posterity you have, you should be very proud. (In a good way!)
