Over the years we have really cut back on the Easter Bunny side of Easter. We do some candy and they usually get some sort of surprise. This year we decided to do even less. So, I've been looking for things that will focus on the more spiritual side of Easter and I came across an activity that is kind of an Easter hunt, but instead you trash your house, spread candy all around and then blindfold everyone, and then relating details from the story in 3rd Nephi talk about how their has been a great destruction upon the land. All their family has been lost, the world is in utter darkness and complete chaos, and they need to find their family (the candy), and then find their way to the temple (which will just be the couch). While fun and hopefully memorable I was still looking for a way to really bring the message home. So while looking at videos on Mormon Messages, I remembered a video that I had bookmarked and never got around to going back and watching. This one is from "Another Testament of Christ", the same photographer and team that did "Reflections of Christ". As I watched it, tears formed in my eyes. Not only was this exactly what I was looking for to share with my family, but I felt such an overwhelming reminder of the love of our Savior. So on that lengthy intro... Please watch. And remember that He loves you.
