Easter 2009 with Smith's and Garrett's










Easter is always fun with coloring eggs, easter egg hunts, family parties, and the feeling of spring and reminding me of Christ. Isn't it such a blessing to teach our children about our Savior and his love! We have been reading in the scriptures about Christ's resurrection and the events leading up to it. Kemp asked the question,"Why did Judas betray Christ? I told him I really didn't know other than he was given money. Then he said," Mom, Judas was one of his apostles, and I really don't think he knew Christ would die, I just don't think he understood what he was doing when he told the soldiers who Christ was, and 30 pieces of silver was a lot of money and they probably tricked him." Wow! I thought to myself- leave it up to a child to understand someone's heart rather than judge them, which is what I do too often. So thanks to my son (who teaches me everyday) I am going to try harder to understand people's hearts instead of judging their actions. Our family had such a wonderful time with all our relatives! We always miss the ones who live away.
