Sonrise; A God Given Gift

There are many ways to celebrate Easter; boiled eggs covered in dye and stickers may be one of them but for us here at Artistic Ancestry it is a time to celebrate the rise of our Resurrected Lord, Jesus Christ.

Genealogy, or family history, is tied into the Savior's love for us in our minds because when we link all our families together and follow them back generation after generation they will all eventually lead back to our beginnings.

Many people mistakenly think January first is the day for renewing our resolves to be and do better, but in my humble opinion that day should be reserved for Easter and I hope you will resolve to work harder to pull your families together into one continuous thread back to the beginnings of time, or at least as far back as people kept records!

So, Happy Easter! Whether you are a Christian or not strengthen your resolve to build a family foundation of genealogy that will give your children and their children the knowledge that they belong to something bigger than themselves. Bigger, Brighter and Blessed.
