If you think about it, every season has spiritual meaning.

Fall use to be my favorite season………

the orange and yellow leaves, the crisp, cool air.

But anymore, I’m a spring girl!

I love the promise of new life after winter!

I love seeing hope in the branches of what appear to be dead bushes and trees!

Yesterday, I mowed after school, and I had to take a minute to capture a few images of God’s promise of life after what appears to be death!  Truthfully, life was always there….we just couldn’t see it with our human eyes!  This brings me such comfort when I think of those I love who have left this earth “for now.”  They are still alive, and eternal resurrection is coming for us all!spring 2012 1530148

If you are friends with me on Facebook, you have maybe already seen my biggest gift of spring!

Look what Olivia discovered in our backyard right in the path where Nick would zip back and forth in his electric wheelchair!

Thankful this morning for the promises of Spring!

 

‘For behold, the winter is past, 
The rain is over and gone. 
‘The flowers have already appeared in the land; 
The time has arrived for pruning the vines, 
And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land. 
‘The fig tree has ripened its figs, 
And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance. 
Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, 
And come along!’ ”
Song 2:11-13 (NASB)
