Happy Easter

The woman who gave the talk today in church talked about her little brother...when he was 2 1/2, he fell into some water and drown, but was brought back to consciousness through CPR. After several months in the hospital, he finally came home, but suffered severe brain damage, and no longer had any control of his muscles. Last year, after his 25th birthday, this woman's brother died. The speaker talked about how she "wept" after learning what had happened. She wasn't crying because of sadness, though. She was crying because she knew that her brother, after so many years of being unable to move on his own, was enjoying paradise in a physically perfect body. Today, I'm just so happy that we have the gift of the resurrection.
