SPRING 2009





My favourite time of year - the sun is actually beginning to shine in this part of the world - it still rains a lot but....it's brighter! The days are longer, time has 'sprung forward' and there are bursts of colour everywhere......snowdrops, crocuses, tulips, daffodils :) Amazing that they all manage to poke their little heads up through snow, frost and bitter cold winds to herald the passing of winter.
How good is our God - even in the darkest of days the flowers are there. We can walk on by and miss their beauty but, they don't stop being there - we've just missed out on an opportunity to enjoy God's wonderful creation. I so enjoyed a recent walk through the 'Daffodil Gardens', an abundance of spring colour, golden heads sparkling in the sunshine and swaying gently in the breeze. O Lord, may I never cease to appreciate the wonder of spring and the miracle of your changing seasons....and encourage me to appreciate the changing seasons in my own life.
