## Resource

Years ago, Maria Eckersley found herself needing the Savior more than ever. As her husband battled pancreatic cancer, Easter became more than a holiday—it became a lifeline of hope, hope in the promises of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Instead of creating a long list of activities or traditions, Maria created what she calls a "tradition of teaching." In this episode, Maria shares how intentionally focusing her family on the gift of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ transformed her home and her gratitude for Easter. 2:42- Origin of Testimony 6:13- Salt Lake Temple Open House Celebration 9:59- A Choice to Celebrating Easter 15:18- A Tradition of Teaching 20:13- What a Connection with the Lord Does 22:08- There's Always Water 25:08- The Promises If the Resurrection is True 29:15- The Duality in Easter 34:04- Easter Through the Lens of the Book of Mormon 37:33- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? "I think there's a lot of that commercial side that we can set down when it comes to Easter. So for me, I guess I see Christmas as a season of giving and receiving in the Savior's way and when it comes to Easter, I see Easter focused on it's all about me receiving...it literally is just His divine gift that is given to all of us. It's a time for us to celebrate that gift, to appreciate it, maybe to emulate it but it's really all about receiving and I just think there's some tenderness in that."
