Spring's Incarnation

The Bradford pears are blooming all over town--glorious trees of sheer white. Abilene ain't never seen anything like this!!!! I wish everyone could see the showy display of God's creation.

Along with Brother Lawrence who found God when he looked at a barren tree and realized that soon it would blossom and then bear fruit, I believe spring is incarnational for all of us. We see in it God's promise of everlasting life and His love of beauty. If one doesn't believe in God this season, of course, there are many other indications in nature and humanity; however, this is the season to rejoice and sing Hallelujah for His unceasing love and care for his creation--the earth and its inhabitants.

So, let us create a beautiful day tomorrow as we celebrate the resurrection of His
Son and the promise of eternal life with Him. Happy Easter.
