I was driving home a few days ago on one of those unseasonably warm days. The warmth felt like a gift from heaven. Then pulling into the drive I noticed these sweet flowers poking their little heads up out of the deadness of the rest of the bed. Some white some purple. Alongside them even those annoying weeds brought the cheer of life. Green is always better than that dismal lack of color that winter imposes on us.
Winter makes us appreciate Spring all the more. We notice that which we would not as a blessing.
Hmmmm. A picture of life. As we look and acknowledge the blessings we see our eyes are opened to even more. The tulip shoots under the tree. When you feel the gratitude of life. When you see the hope of a new era, dont' forget to keep looking. The tulip shoots are there.
Although, I knew another day would bring 29 degrees back to us. I know God is watching and knows our limits. Cool huh?
