Yeah for Spring! A student brought me a lovely bouquet of planted tulips. It reminds me that hope springs (no pun intended) eternal. Not to sound sappy, but do you remember the song "The Rose"? There is a line in there that says "in the winter, far beneath the winter snows, lies the seed that with the sun's love, in the Spring, becomes the rose".
I love the idea of pure white snow. I love watching it fall and how it covers everything from our trees to the garbage cans. No matter how small or dirty something is, it gets covered. I think God is this way. No matter how dirty, it's covered in pure white. No matter who or what we are, we can be covered in pure, beautiful, white.
I love Spring too. My little seeds that have lain dormant all winter, will soon be beautiful flowers. In my garden, I have lots of plants from friends. Deb Harnly has given me beautiful Poppies that have just "popped" up. No blooms, but green. Jen and Scott have given me beautiful tulips from Holland and my favorite plant, a lavender. All are showing green. Julie King has shared many plants from her garden. Too many to mention. They are showing signs of life. Carol has given me Sage, Lilacs, trees, Roses and many others. They are greening up too. I look at all of this and thank God for each and every one. My garden reminds me that I am loved and surrounded by beautiful people.
Spring reminds me that God does not forsake us. He may keep us dormant for a while, so that he can cover us with pure white, snow, but he also sends the Spring. With the "Son's" love, we can blossom and become beautiful.
Happy first day of Spring everyone.
