I really enjoy all of the seasons - each one has it's own beauty. Spring is God's way to remind us of life anew. After the dead of winter, Spring brings the green buds to the tree limbs and the yellow of the forsythia. Like newborn babies, these plants and trees bring life and joy to us. It seems one day they just look like brown sticks and then you start to see the green fuss of new growth. Soon the forsythia's yellow blossoms look like bushes of sunlight standing proud against the green grass. They stretch their branches of yellow flowers up and out embracing the blue sky. It always makes me feel happy to see the forsythia and daffodils with their bright colors reminding us spring is upon us. I'm not fond of the pollen (especially from the trees) because it really gives me grief, but I do enjoy the beauty of spring. I can't help but think of God and His love at this time of year. How much He loved me that He sent Jesus to die for me. Jesus gives me love, forgiveness, and hope. Just like the forsythia, I raise my arms in praise to Him, in honor of Him, in love to Him, and in awe of Him. Spring makes me feel happy, but Jesus and my life with Him makes me more joyful!
