Today was a wonderful day. The Lord was smiling down on all today who were worshiping the Resurrection of Christ. I was able to sit down after dinner to talk to my cousins about what Easter really means. I read scripture and let my mom help me once it came to Jesus' Crucifixion. I also explained why Jesus died on the Cross and that even now, if you accept Jesus into your heart, you will be forgiven of your sins. My youngest cousins seemed most effected by it, and I will pray that it lasts. I really felt a Holy presence in the house, knowing that God was touching hearts and opening their eyes, even just a little. The eldest cousin seemed least effected by it, as if she knew the 'story' and didn't need to listen to it. This is one time I was extremely thankful that her younger sisters didn't just sit there like she did, but they listened intently. I will pray for her. I will pray that she will give up her prideful ways and give her heart to Christ.
Before I came downstairs I was talking to my mom and she told me she appreciates what I did. She knew that the girls needed to hear this and start to realize the truth and that Easter should be celebrated as what it is really about. She told me that it was very emotional for everyone and that she was glad we were able to teach the girls about Jesus' sacrifice.
My prayer is that all may come to know God and Jesus and accept them into their hearts.
