Because of Him

Everyone always says to not take Christ out of Christmas. Well, just because Easter doesn't conveniently have the word "Christ" in it, people often forget the meaning behind the holiday. Colorful eggs, baskets full of goodies, and the competitive hunt for treasures replace why we celebrate this wonderful day. Well, I don't have an Easter basket or yummy Easter candies to snack on (yet... I can't wait until I get home!), and I am thankful for that because I have been able to love and think about this remarkable day more fully. Although those colorful eggs are beautiful, there is a more beautiful meaning to today. Even though eating that candy is sweet, there is a much sweeter act to think about. Even though we hunt for those treasures, there is a much more valuable treasure Jesus Christ has given us.
Because of Him I have the best example to follow.
Because of Him I always have loving arms surrounding me. 
Because of Him I can be with my family for eternity. 
Because of Him I can be forgiven when I mess up. 
Because of Him I know I can make it through my trials. 
Because of Him I never have to walk alone. 
Because of Him I can enjoy the beauty all around me. 
Because of Him I too can live again.
Because of Him there are no true endings.
Because of Him I am truly happy.
