Last night...

 We had...
I am so grateful for my Savior and His loving and infinite sacrifice and atonement... so grateful that He died for me and that He lives now. I am grateful for His comforting and loving words and I can only imagine what He must have felt, the yearnings of His heart for His disciples and all of us really when He taught these precious truths before being taken away:

John 14
 Let not your heart be atroubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

 In my Father’s ahouse‍ are many bmansions: if it were‍ not so,‍ I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will acome‍ again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there‍ ye may be also.

And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the away, the truth, and the life: no man ccometh‍ unto the Father, but by me.
If ye had aknown‍ me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Believe me that I am ain the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that abelieveth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

If ye alove me, bkeep my ccommandments.
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
I will not leave you comfortless: I will bcome to you.

Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.


He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be bloved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.


Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will alove him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

And I am grateful beyond words for my family. For my darling husband who was over the moon about my "last supper" meal idea and had a big and supportive smile on his face when he came from out of town and found pictures taped all over our living room. Thank you sweetie for making me feel the way you do...

And I am so grateful for my Little Ms. Sunshine here who was jumping with joy as she was finding goodies in her Easter basket, including her very first time EVER (non-dairy) chocolate bunny from Divvies.
