The New Life of Spring


Cherene, Noah and I went for a walk to enjoy this fine spring day. Now don't get me wrong, I do see the beauty of all the seasons that God has blessed us with and the symbolism that comes with each. I mean after all who else could give us so much color and beauty right before the end of its life expectancy like in the fall? Have you seen the things man creates do anything even close to this? Cars, tires, clothes, houses. Everything we make falls apart, rusts out, falls down etc, at the end of its life. Not so the creations made from our Father in heaven. He saves some of the most spectacular beauty for the end of a leaf's life... kind of cool huh? But any how, this is about spring and another one of His wonderful creations made just for you and me. The promise of spring is that God has told us in Genesis 8:22 "as long as the earth endures, seedtime (spring) and harvest (fall), cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease"..... hmmm, take that global warming!! To me this means God loves us so much and He wants us to know we can rest assured until He ends the earth as we know it, that we will have these changes of the seasons and cold, heat, day and night. So to me, spring and all the beauty like the "crocus" reminds me of this promise made so long ago. We saw some of your beauty today Lord and we remember and say thank you.
