The first signs of Spring popped out this week. I let the dogs out early in the morning and I noticed bright green shoots that seemed to have sprung up overnight.I looked around the yard and saw more signs - just the beginning. It is as if the earth, the plants and all of nature are about to burst forth with life--once again.
Why am I surprised?
While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
And cold and heat,
And summer and winter,
And day and night
Shall not cease.
Gen. 8:22
God is faithful. This past year saw many twists and turns. Shocking events occurred in the nation's economy. Natural disasters abounded. Yet, springtime is showing its first signs of arrival, as it has every year on schedule. The steady rhythm of God's faithfulness undergirds us as His creation reveals.
I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. --George Washington Carver

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Springtime. We have a few more months of snow left. But it's on it's way. My oldest daughters and I support MOPS at our church, too. We help with the childcare.

Thanks for this encouraging reminder. I was out in the yard playing ball with our son last week and wondered how long till I'd see buds on our fruit tree. God bless you!
