Spring Thankfullness

At last-glorious spring has arrived! No matter where you live, spring is the signal that new life is awakening. You can hear the birds chirping, the smell of new roses, and all the other spring flowers are so exciting. The sun warming our bodies, our minds-telling us that it's almost finished. Another school year is coming to an end. Even for year rounders like myself, spring seems to awaken new hope in me. Excitement for what will come in the next year on my journey. Hope that I'll survive as I can see the end of these books, classes and the same daily routine. I believe that God created spring to give us that hope-for whatever we need to conquer. This is the time that we homeschool moms are looking at new curriculum, deciding what to do next year and praying that we'll make the right choices. I love this time of year. I feel refreshed, my spirit is renewed and I'm ready to continue my daily walk with the sunshine upon my face. Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." I thank God for spring. He knew we moms would be weary after a winter indoors with our blessings. Many of you are celebrating the warming days, the snow disappearing, and God's bountiful beauty awakening-once again. I think that God also made the seasons, so that we would stop, breathe and remember to praise and thank Him for giving us everything. As you finish up your winter's work and look forward to the lazy days of summer, remember to thank Him for these glorious short days of spring. Days to get so much more done as our spirits are lifted and we have a happy tune in our hearts.
