This morning I woke up expecting to see overcast skies and rain. How uplifted I felt when I saw the sun shining through my window!
The grass is a beautiful carpet of green, trees are budding, the pear tree is in bloom, hostas are spreading their beautiful foliage, day lillies are popping up, and the rose bushes are green with leaves.
Just two weeks ago, everything looked dreary and dead, but God's hand has kissed the land once again bringing hope for a new beginning.

A Little Rose Bush...
As I look out my window, I see a little rose bush covered with green leaves basking in the morning sunshine. Just two months ago, the bush looked dead. Snow buried the ground, and ice covered the branches. The bush painted a desolate picture.
Spring is one of the most loved seasons of the year. It's a promise of new beginnings, rebirth, and nature's beautiful bounty. The anticipation of the beauty to greet my view in a few short weeks lifts my spirits. I wonder if this is the same feeling that filled the hearts of those who looked at the empty tomb. Surely, God's promise had been fulfilled. Jesus had risen to give all who believe the promise of a new life in heaven.
Spring is here. Jesus is with us.
