Spring!

I love this time of year!  Everything is coming alive!
Yesterday was 87 degrees outside!  It was hot!  And
today will be 84.  Next week we will be in the 60's but
that's okay.  At least it's not snowing :)  I love the snow
and I look forward to it but after months of it, I'm ready
to pack up the winter coats and get out some sandals.














I love clothes hanging on the line.  I love how they
look and how they smell when I put the sheets on the
bed.













The daffodils  were in full bloom this morning!  A sure
sign that spring is here!













Notice the buds all over this bush.














The forsythia is coming alive too.



























After the fall, I threw my pumpkins outside and then
it snowed on them.  They rotted away but when the
snow melted, I noticed that my tulips pushed right up
through them.  God's beauty is all around us and it's
incredible.  God's love is like the soil.  When we are
ready to receive his love, He pours himself into us
just like water is poured over plants and flowers.  The
life giving water is like the Holy Spirit in our lives.
When we surrender to Christ He spills into all areas of
our life.  God provided sun to these flowers and plants
so that they could grow and He gave us Jesus.  He is like
our sun in a darkened world that is without hope.  He
illuminates the sin in our lives.  It grows like weeds that
will take over if we don't deal with it.  He gives us the
power and strength to deal with our sin.  We have his
forgiveness and hope for eternity.  He also shows us
areas in our lives that need to be pruned.  It's not always
easy or pleasant to go through those times but He is
faithful to see us through.  When we look to God for
His guidance, truth, and wisdom , we will ultimately
reap what we sow, and with God, He will provide
an abundant harvest!  Be blessed this Easter!
