It seems like spring is just around the corner even though we are finishing up February. March typically offers us a mixture of weather, teasing us before allowing us to settle into the fresh breezes filled with the fragrant blossoms of spring. Sixty degree days are forecast for this weekend; what a delight that will be!
Even as the last snow banks of winter rest in the shadows and along the fence lines and the robins begin to arrive on our lawns, there is anticipation building in our souls. Enough winter! Come on spring! When we were in North Carolina this month they had the first signs of spring. Daffodils were blooming and the earliest trees were in bloom along the roadsides.
Spring fever has arrived. That time of eagerness for fresh beauty popping from the earth; an end to the gray, dark days of dirty streets and brownness. The anticipation of Easter coming and the joy of new birth and resurrection. Hope. What a wonderful emotion! Who can thrive or survive without hope?
"Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." (Psalm 42:6, 11, Psalm 43:5 NIV).
No matter what weather follows the days of a new month, God will bless us with spring coming soon. Our hope in Him matters. It carries us through the dark and cold windy days that will come, no doubt. He promises hope in His Son, Jesus Christ, and that hope lifts us from our downcast souls to the heights of heaven.
May your day be filled with hope of spring and our Savior's love eternal.
