Celebration this week included three temple trips, all of which were a blessing; a trip downtown to hear Brahms' Requiem performed by the BSO and TFC, which was nothing short of absolutely amazing; and a music-filled Sacrament Meeting.
If it were a sunshine-filled afternoon, I would go walking in the cemetery and ponder what it would be like to be there on resurrection morning. I have always thought that would be an interesting sight to see "many graves ... be opened, and ... yield up many of their dead." (Helaman 14:25)
How grateful I am for the gift of resurrection and the opportunity for eternal life that comes because our loving Father saw fit to provide a Savior as part of His plan, and because His Only Begotten Son atoned for our sins and gave His life that we all might live!
Behold, I shew you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed,
In a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality. ...
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory? ...
But thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
