Wonders of Spring

Please note that I am a bit hung up on the 2013 Weather- This Spring thought is designed for early April but appropriate today!

 

Thought for the week.           

            Spring is approaching, the ice is melting in the north land, annual flowers are blooming in the south and migratory birds are starting their trek to the north. Spring is a time of renewal and a time to see the wonders of nature. We need to be thankful for the beauty and wonders of spring and focus on our own personal renewal and spiritual growth.

 

Anonymous Quote: We can all count the seeds in an apple; but only God knows how many apples are in a seed!

The spring poetry of Natalie Sleeth

From her Hymn of Promise

Verses 1 and 2 

"In the bulb there is a flower,
in the seed an apple tree;
in co-coons a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!

In the cold and snow of Winter
there's a Spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until it's season,
something God alone can see."

"There is a song in every silence,
seeking word and melody;
there's a dawn in every darkness,
bringing hope to you and me;
From the past will come the future;
what it holds a mystery,
unrevealed until its season.
something God alone can see."
