Spring. It is finally here!

I love Spring! I love seeing all of the beautiful flowering trees.  I love the longer days. I love the flowers that pop through the newly thawed ground.  I love the warmer weather.  I love seeing leaves on the bare limbs of the trees. I love the hope that spring ushers in.  It lets us know that winter does not stay forever. Isn't God good! Even though the winter may seem long and never ending, it is always followed by spring.  Even though the day of crucifixion looked dark, it was followed by the resurrection! That is what spring is to me.  It is the resurrection of hope anew.
