Signs of Spring

All around me I am reminded that things are about to change.
The world will once again experience the arrival of Spring.

I love all that Springtime offers, new buds on the trees bursting
forth. Mild weather and sunshine.

New babies laying in the pastures, with their mama's nearby.
Chirping songbirds preparing nests in lofty trees.
Crocus and tulips pushing thru the earth bursting with
color and scent.

As I sit here today pondering the coming seasons of 2012 I can't
help but wonder what changes this "old" world might be headed for
and will we all be prepared to face them.

As I opened my Bible this morning I felt instant familiarity and knew
that somethings remain the same and never change.

GOD's Holy Word, forever true, unchanging, ready to guide, comfort and provide instruction for every season of our life.
Even age only increases the wonder and beauty!

So, Welcome Spring and all you bring, I am prepared for your arrival......


Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things..." 2 Timothy 4:2-5

Searching for Winter

It is hard to believe that it is the first of February, it feels like early Spring.

The trees are bare and the skies are overcast and gray,
but the temperature reads seventy-six on our thermometer outside.

I like winter days and enjoy a cozy fire and movies or
reading with a pot of stew bubbling on the stove.

I continue to wait for Winter to show it's icy head and
blow in cooler air and possibly a little snow.
But, I wonder if that is to be this season.

I see changes in the patterns of the seasons and
I do believe that this world as we have always known it is changing.

Such a beautiful world GOD created for His children and
it saddens me to see it slowly losing it's wonder and beauty.

I am thankful for the assurance I feel in my Spirit that whatever does transpire in this changing world that I have a Hope and a Promise.

I only need to continue in my faith and stand strong on my beliefs, because God's Word assures me I need not worry.

He knows exactly where Winter is and when it will come again!


Acts 1:7
He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.
