Spring has Come!

This is a picture of a rose that I was

able to capture with my camera. The color is

so beautiful with the sky behind it!

Since I have been in Tennessee,

I have LOVED getting to enjoy all the different

seasons God has created. In Florida,

we don't have the changes in color, but it is so

breathtaking with each new season!

I LOVE flowers and all the colors, shapes,

and details of each individual flower.

It reminds me of how great God is and how

loving He is to us. He gives us

soooo many little blessings each day to point us

to Him...even in His creation.

It then reminds me of the seasons of

my life, how they are continually changing...each

stage just as breathtaking and wonderful

as the next. How can the God of the universe

be so loving to bless me with so

much? How can He be so interested in my

life that He allows to experience

so many wonderful privileges? He is so precious,

and I am constantly reminded of that.

In every season, there are those nasty days

that are filled with thunderstorms and

rain. BUT when that storm is passed, the beauty

comes forth and makes for wonderful days

walking in the sun, riding a bike,

picking shells on the beach, or just relaxing in

a hammock swinging in the breeze.

This is true in our lives. Every season is wonderful,

yet we still have those storms. God places

those in our lives to only make the

next day more beautiful. Testings and trials

may come, but he still loves us.

The day comes when we see clearly why those

struggles came, and we are so thankful

for them. Never forget: each season

is a blessing, and the storms that come

will only make it more beautiful on the other side!
