As my husband and I sat at the breakfast table this morning, mavelling at the sight outside our turret windows, we couldn't help but be thankful for this very special time of year. Our "thanks" for our food went way beyond just the physical comforts that God has so graciously given to us. We thanked Him for the beauty that lies everywhere on this earth, no matter where you live. We thanked Him for the five senses that He gave us, so that we could delight in the robin's song, laugh at the squirrel's antics in the walnut tree and smell the earth as it comes to life with all it's creatures. It's overwhelming when you think about the news headlines, and read about people dying and children suffering. We will never know as long as we live in this world why things happen the way they do, nor will we understand it. I sometimes feel like I don't deserve the bounty of God's love and really, none of us do. But He sent that love through His son. Isn't that the greatest miracle of all?
I do still marvel at His creation and along with the movement of spring, I will soon have a new little miracle to hold in my arms. Yes, I'm positively jumping at the prospect of seeing my grandson--my very first. As all grandmas do, I've been shopping for little "things" for this new bundle of joy. I'll have another tiny person to love and cuddle and spoil, just a little.
I'm wishing you and "yours" a spring day filled with promise and hope for another new dawn.
