LIVING IN HOPE

My last post was a wintery voice pleading for SPRING, well it has arrived, in fact.. my sweet grape hyacinths are now up and reaching for the warmth of the sunlight.  The birds are looking to nest and even have neighbourhood sqwables about who gets what bird house.. it is very comical to watch. On our drive out the shop, calving has begun with the wee ones giving us entertainment as they seem to be moving on wobbly pegs legs.  All of these signs of new life are the hopes of rebirth, life.. it is God's way of reminding us of His provision and hope.

WAITING

We are so looking forward to spring, when the snow is gone, or almost gone and the windows allow the fresh aroma of spring to waft through our space.
It has been or maybe just seems to be a long and cold winter.. maybe we have just become soft, I don't like to think so.. I would rather think that we are in need of the sun's warmth and the sight of green grass, buds on the trees and the sweet sounds of our feathered friends of the air.. I will try and remember when the heat seems too hot,, and look back at these cold, snowy and windy days of the winter past...
