A little good news, for a change:
The sun is out today–finally!–I took a bike ride, and the first green shoot of our ancient tulip by the front door has peeked out from under the leaf litter. I don’t know how long a tulip lives, but we’ve been here forty years and I can’t remember a spring without this flower.
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. –Genesis 8:22
The Lord is not asleep at His post, nor has He forgotten His creation, which includes us. The flowers awakening for the spring have a message for us: “God is nigh.”
Beautiful thought.
A reminder that Our Lord is near – always, and that through His grace, hope springs forth and we are blessed.
The harbinger for Spring in our neck of the woods is the Jonquil. Ours is up and ready to flower any day now. The Robins have also returned. Spring has come early this year!
Dave, did you have a hymn request? If you did, please make it again, as I seem to have lost it.
Since it is the Holy Season of Lent I thought “The Will of god Is Always Best” would be a good suggestion.
If I can find it, I will run it.
