The Weather Channel

We have a TV in our lobby at work, and I usually change it to the Weather Channel (or CMT if I'm feeling a little honky-tonk). Last night they were talking about all the tornadoes that have just recently occurred and the damage that was done. One of the weather people made an interesting statement. He said that it seem like every year around Easter, something happens to make people feel the need to go to church and give thanks for their lives and blessings. While I'm obviously paraphrasing, I find it fascinating that a national weatherperson would say something like that...and how true it is. Perhaps, though often tragic, this is Heavenly Father's way of reminding us what life is really about and what we should be doing on a regular basis-thanking Him for our blessings. So, this Easter season, I feel it's important to give thanks for my blessings including amazing and supportive friends and family, wonderful church leaders, a strong and ever growing testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and of course, my gratitude for the Atonement and sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for us so many centuries ago. How fortunate we all were to have had General Conference the week before Easter and for the reminder that provides us of our inspired leadership. I am so blessed to have the truth in my life and know the love of my kind and generous Heavenly Parents and elder brother, Jesus Christ. What are you grateful for this Easter?
