As spring finally settles into our area I am becoming a daydreamer. I think about starting a garden, creating a new sewing project, and baking a coconut cake. (I am becoming quite domestic these days!) But one thought that continually settles into my mind is the absolute beauty of life. The tenderness of the tulips growing in my front yard and the nesting sparrow and her four eggs on my front porch give me pause to reflect on this tender season. New life is everywhere and it is exciting.
In the midst of this sweet season I am reminded to give thanks to the One who is in control of it all. It seems to me that this would make a perfect season for Thanksgiving. November has it's perks, but spring is glorious! I do not mean to be so sentimental, but I just love springtime. It makes me so very happy. It is a joy to be alive. It is a blessing to have all five senses intact to fully experience the reemergence of green. Thank you, Lord, for Your goodness and mercy!
Well said! It is a thought-provoking time of year!
ReplyDeleteSo good to read this, Beth. Hope you don't mind that I tracked you down. :) I definitely need a little shot of gratitude as I practice being patient. It is such a blessing to experience Spring in this part of the world and all the beauty that comes with it. Love seeing the pictures of sweet Ella Brooks. She is pretty beautiful herself.
