SPRING FORWARD

Greetings,

Last Saturday night most of us got to "spring forward" one hour before we went to bed! Are you still trying to catch up and adjust to this change like I am? Where did that "spring" in my step go...I think I may have lost it for a little while during that one hour on my clock!

Every year at this time we are reminded that Spring is just around the corner for most of us. Spring, a time to think about our little gardens again. I'm looking forward to watching the flowers pop out of the ground, the trees to bud and turn those beautiful shades of pink and white, the birds to serenade me every morning and the sun to warm my face when I step outside, aren't you? How beautiful is the spring time.

Our lives are a bit like a flower garden as well. For the most part, our days are filled with good and beautiful things.....the sweetness of a child's face, the strong and protective arms of a husbands hug, the kindness of a special friend and the joy of knowing Christ. But, sometimes between the beautiful things in our garden of life come the dark weed patches.....money problems, sadness, lost jobs and diseases. Perhaps our good times would not mean nearly as much without the bad times as well. Don't be discouraged, there is always hope for our garden. We can't lose sight of the fact that we have One who works our gardens with us, right where we are. The very One who created it all!!

Beauty is God's handwriting, His handiwork. Don't lose your opportunity to see all that is beautiful in the "garden of life". Spring forward and thank God for every blessing. "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL". Happy Spring!!

I love you guys,
Judy
