Jerusalem
Dinner~A Walk With Christ
The week prior to Easter is one of my favorite celebrations in our home. I love the spirit we feel as we focus on Christ. This year was especially spiritual as Brandon had just passed away. My heart was still healing as we focused on the gift of Christ's atonement. And yet, my heart sang at the knowledge that Because of Christ, we would see both Eric and Brandon again. Throughout the entire week, I had moments where tears would surface because of the joy and peace the atonement offers. I am truly grateful to my Savior, Jesus Christ. Words cannot express my debt of gratitude. Because of Christ, I look forward with complete faith for the day when we are reunited. I can only imagine the reunion that must have happened for Eric and Brandon.
