The Hanna Family

Happy Easter everyone! We enjoyed a pancake and banana breakfast while going through our Easter baskets. After, our friends Tracy, Ryan and new baby Preston joined us for an egg hunt in our back yard. Daddy has a church meeting first thing in the morning and then we have our Church block where Mom gets to speak on Jesus and His resurrection so we had our Easter events today.

I wish I could be there to hear you give a talk on Christ's resurrection. It's amazing how much more the atonement and resurrection mean to you when you've had one/many "close calls." A deepened tenderness for the Savior occurs and your heart is never the same.

Good luck tomorrow, friend. Happy Easter, cute Hanna bunch!

P.S. tell your dad that he can come plant at our home when he's through with yours. Your yard looks great!; April 11, 2009 at 2:48 PM
kristi said...: Those baskets look LOVELY! What a fun morning. We really like doing the Bunny/Egg stuff on a different day. Easter really is (or should be) a spiritual day. I think that's a great tradition, even if it was just coincidental. :); April 11, 2009 at 9:57 PM

What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term used to describe a problem with movement and posture that makes certain activities difficult. Even though someone who has cerebral palsy has problems moving his or her muscles, this is not because there is something wrong with the muscles or nerves. These difficulties are caused because of problems in the brain. The child might have had an injury to the brain, or had a brain that did not develop properly. These problems can affect the way the brain controls movement and posture.

"But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 9:14

At this time in my life illustrations of the Savior with children are so dear to my heart. When I've thought of Christ and Heavenly Father the past few months I have often thought of them cradling my sweet babies and whispering words of comfort. We will perhaps never understand why these valiant spirits where sent down to such fragile bodies at such a premature time but we do know that God has held them close in his loving embrace over these difficult months.

"God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.

Who shall say that it was not a miracle that by his word the heaven and the earth should be; and by the power of his word man was created of the dust of the earth; and by the power of his word have miracles been wrought?

And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles."

Mormon 9, verses 15-19

"Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my Praise."
