SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

I truly love and adore the change of seasons, and spring is one of my favorites! The grass
begins to turn a beautiful green, the jonquils, and tulips push their way up through the earth to
give us such beauty to enjoy! The redbirds, bluebirds and sparrows return to sing their merry
tunes, which adds much to a beautiful spring day! The crocus also arrives to show their beauty
in early spring as well.

It is such a joy to see the trees getting the first sprigs of greenery, and knowing soon, they
also will be aglow with sweeping green beauty to please the beholder. I am partial to the pink and
white azaleas, with their hearty blooms, which brightens up our front driveway and heralds
the arrival of spring with full outstanding beauty. Also, those pretty buttercups add a dash
of vivid color to our flower bed at the side entrance. When I behold the beauty of nature,
I just want to thank Our Heavenly Father, who created all things, as He just made them
perfect in His time.

Also, spring-time means we celebrate EASTER, the wondrous resurrection of our Lord and
Saviour, Jesus Christ! He did conquer death, and made a way for us to come to him direct,
to worship Him freely, plus he gave us the gift of The Holy Spirit, which is our comfort and
strength at all times! It is truly a majestic thing to know that The Holy Spirit dwells within
our earthly bodies, our helper during any time of day! We have much to Praise Him for, our
wonderful King, Our Master, Our Holy Guide throughout life. The Holy Bible teaches us that
God knows all about us, he created us in His own image, and he even knows the number of
hairs on our heads---such an awesome God! He is our Protector, Our Defender, Our Mighty
King, Lord of Lords---We should praise Him forever more.

So as Easter season approaches, this would be a good time to give thanks to The Holy One,
as he is Our God, and we know he is in all places at all times. If He knows when a tiny sparrow
falls to the ground, then he surely cares and knows what is happening in our personal lives!

HAPPY EASTER!! HAPPY SPRING!!
