Sunday/Atonement

Sometimes on Sunday we invite families over for dessert.  This particular Sunday Michael and Samantha decided to welcome the families to our homes with chalk art.

Michael was very proud of his rainbow and thought it looked just like big sisters.

Samantha made a beautiful rainbow that Michael wanted to emulate.

The Atonement by Elder Russell M. Nelson
"But mortal life, glorious as it is, was never the ultimate objective of God’s plan. 
Life and death here on planet Earth were merely means to an end—not the end for which we were sent."
Sometimes it is hard to remember--that there is more--that this truly in not the end all.
"That brings us to the Atonement. Paul said, “As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” ¹⁴  The Atonement of Jesus Christ became the immortal 
creation. He volunteered to answer the ends of a law previously transgressed. ¹⁵  And by the shedding of His blood, His ¹⁶  and our physical bodies could become 
perfected. They could again function without blood, just as Adam’s and Eve’s did 
in their paradisiacal form. Paul taught that “flesh and blood cannot inherit the 
kingdom of God; … this mortal must put on immortality.” ^17 "
Our Heavenly Father giving us the gift of a resurrected body allows us to live with Him again.  He provided everything we need.  It is up to us to use it.
"I weep for joy when I contemplate the significance of it all."
^{I want to feel this way.}
