April and An Apostle's Easter Thoughts on Christ

I don't know about you, but I loved conference last weekend. It came at just the right time and perfectly linked from last month's theme of hope (didn't the talks provide you with that?) to this month's theme of "drawing closer to the Saviour". Michelle and I will be posting throughout April on some things from conference that touched us and how we can use them in drawing closer to Jesus Christ in our every day lives, the Ultimate safety.

Our monthly goal follows on from James Grant's outstanding talk a couple of weeks ago - a challenge that he made to members of our ward which I have personally undertaken and found great comfort from as I have practiced this. In your prayers each day, thank Heavenly Father for the gift of the Atonement in your life. I promise it will make a difference in how you feel about the Saviour and the things you need to personally do to draw closer to Him.

In the meantime, what more perfect way to honour the Saviour during this special Easter weekend than a message from Elder Jeffrey R Holland. It summarises his beautiful talk from conference and reminds all of us that because the Saviour knows exactly how it feels to be alone, we should never have to be.
