First day of spring! Hallelujah!! Yes, I know it could snow here next week...I don't care. I'm just excited to know that spring is here, and summer is on the way! And I have these little "purple pretties" popping up along the driveway. I'm not very good with flower names, much to the chagrin of mom and dad, I'm sure. They are probably leaning over the rails of heaven, looking at my yard and calling every bush and stalk by a scientific name. But for the life of me, it's just not something that stuck in my brain.
Nonetheless, I have these little bits of color to look at. Since I just moved into this house a few months ago, I really have no idea what all to expect from the yard. It was nicely landscaped, but I guess I'll get surprised every time something new decides to bloom. This is part of the fun of being somewhere new. I get to experience what someone else left behind for me...enjoying the fruit of their labors, if you will.
Spring is great. It proclaims life and new beginnings! Out with the old, and in with the new. Those things that have been dormant or dead for a season are now finding new sprouts of life.
Hmmm....kinda sounds like redemption. God gives us new life, even though we were dead in our sins. The old is gone, and the new has come. In Christ, we are new. He makes all things new... and gives us the opportunity to bloom.
Shine on little purple beauties! Your Creator delights in you!
And so do I!!
