The Third Day

Easter this year was a little more emotional for me than it has been in years past.

I found myself reflecting on the miracle of that third day so many years ago. What a miracle that Christ was resurrected, paving the way for each of us to be the same.

I have thought so much about the resurrection. It means so much more when you lose someone you love, a sister perhaps.

As I have thought about the events of yesteryear, I have thought about the significance of the resurrection, and what it means exactly.

We are taught that our spirits will be reunited with our bodies, just as Christ's spirit was reunited with His.

We taught the primary children on Sunday about the meaning of Easter, and I couldn't help but parallel all of this with the blessings of the temple. While everyone will have the privilege of being resurrected, it is through the temple that we are bound to those we love and hold dear. What a blessing!

My thoughts have also taken me to my personal life and how I can give my commitment to the gospel and my commitment to my family a sort of resurrection/rebirth.

I have been given a Third Day.

What will you do with yours?
